Brief 6: Initial Planning

After deciding what content I wanted in the publication, I wrote a list of everything that would need to be included under these titles. This will help me create an order for which to display the information.

Content list:

 Following this I put the main headings in the order that I think they should go in through the publication. The main thing I wanted was for the information to flow from one to another and make sense.

Content order:

At this point I am quite certain that this is the right order for the publication, however I am a little uncertain on the placing of 'legibility & readability'. While the sections above relate to the anatomy and design of the type, I do think that this section might need to be higher as it does link strongly.

I asked a couple of people for feedback on the order and explained the concept, asking their opinion on the order of the information. It was said that readability and legibility should be very near the top because it is an overlying section in this subject.

Final Content Order:

• Typeface & Font Definition
• Legibility & Readability Definition
• Serif & Sans Serif
• Classifications - Main 6 & Timeline
• Anatomy
• Typefamilies & Superfamilies
• Weights
• Serif Types 
• Kerning
• Word Spacing
• Leading
• Justifications
• Hyphenation
• Hierarchy
• Typefaces - important typefaces to know
• Typographers - important typographers to know
