Resource summary
TEXT
Importance of text in a multimedia presentation

Text is a vital element of multimedia menus, navigation systems, and content
Factors affecting legibility of text
Size
Background and foreground color
Style
Leading
Understanding fonts & typefaces
A ‘typeface’ is a family of graphic characters that usually includes many type sizes and styles
A ‘font’ is a collection of characters of a single size and style belonging to a particular typeface family
Font styles
Boldface
Italic
Underlining
Outlining
Font sizes
Character metrics are the general measurements applied to individual characters
Kerning is the spacing between character pairs
Leading is the space between lines
Font size is measured in points
Cases
Placing an uppercase letter in the middle of a word is referred to as intercap.
A capitalized letter is referred to as 'uppercase', while a small letter is referred to as 'lowercase.'
Serif VS Sans Serif
Serif fonts are used for body text
Sans serif fonts do not have a serif at the end of a letter stroke
These fonts are used for headlines and bold statements
Serif is the little decoration at the end of a letter stroke
Using text elements in a multimedia presentation
Text elements
Fields for reading
A document can be printed in one of two orientations - portrait or landscape
The taller-than-wide orientation used for printing documents is called portrait
The wider-than-tall orientation that is normal to monitors is called landscape
Reading a hard copy is easier and faster than reading from the computer screen
HTML documents
HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language. It is the standard document format used for Web pages
HTML documents are marked using tags
An advanced form of HTML is DHTML. DHTML stands for Dynamic Hypertext Markup Language. DHTML uses Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).
Symbols and icons
Symbols are concentrated text in the form of stand-alone graphic constructs
They are used to convey meaningful messages
Symbols used to convey human emotions are called emoticons
Icons are symbolic representations of objects and processes
Interactive buttons
Users can create their own buttons from bitmaps and graphics
The design and labeling of the buttons should be treated as an industrial art project
A button is a clickable object that executes a command when activated
Menus for navigation
A user navigates through content using a menu
A simple menu consists of a text list of topics
Anti-aliased text must be used when a gentle and blended look for titles and headlines is needed
Ideas and concepts can be highlighted by making the text bold or by emphasizing text
A pleasant look can be created by experimenting with different font faces, sizes, leadings, and kerning
Computers & text
The font wars
PostScript
PostScript is a method of describing an image in terms of mathematical constructs
PostScript characters are scalable and can be drawn much faster. The two types of PostScript fonts are Type 3 and Type 1
TrueType is a system of scalable outline fonts, and can draw characters at low resolution
Character sets
Mapping across platforms
Fonts and characters are not cross-platform compatible
They must be mapped to the other machine using font substitution
Font editing & design tools
Macromedia Fontographer
It can be used to develop PostScript, TrueType, and bitmapped fonts
It can also modify existing typefaces and incorporate PostScript artwork
Creating attractive texts
Adobe Photoshop
TypeStyler
COOL 3D
