What is typesetting?
Arranging the composition of type - traditionally, this meant arranging physical letters for printing
Nowadays, type is mostly set digitally.
typesetting can be divided into 3 elements:
-the letter
-the word
-the line
why is typesetting important?
typesetting has a huge effect on how a viewer reads text - text which is set badly is much more difficult to read.
Typesetting may not seem very exciting but is an important skill to master as doing it correctly makes a piece of design look proffessional.
