#ExpressingThroughTypography

Typography is the art and technique of arranging type to make written language legible, readable and appealing when displayed. The arrangement of type involves selecting typefaces, point size, line length, line spacing (leading), letter-spacing (tracking), and adjusting the space between letters pairs (kerning). 


I have been doing typography for almost three months now and just started posting snapshots of some of my works on my IG account.

I was inspired to do it because of Abbey Sy, a blogger and the author of the book "The ABC's of Hand Lettering". I really wanted to buy her book but due to school activities which really required me to spend a lot of money, I don't have a copy of it yet. (very sad story, i know)

Since I really can't afford to buy her book YET, I decided to search for typography tips and ideas online which I think really helped me A LOT.

And because of it, I'll be leaving you some of my works here!! (YAY?!?!)

P.S. if you're also into typography you can tweet me your work with the hashtag, #ExpressingThroughTypography or tag me on your IG post, with your choice of caption and the hashtag, #ExpressingThroughTypography.

Huling Sayaw

Ito na ang ating huling sandali - malapit nang mag-isang taon simula noong napaluha ako nang marinig ang unang pangungusap ng kantang ito na inawit ng Kamikazee habang ako’y nagpapaayos sa sasapit na oras. Ito na. Ito na talaga ang ating huling sandali. Ang huling pagkakataon na sasabak sa isang matinding laban kasama ang mga taong kapiling ko sa higit na limang taon. Hindi na tayo magkakamali – at nandito na nga tayo sa oras na ating pinaghandaan, ang oras na ating inabangan ang pagsapit, ngunit hindi hinihiling na matapos. Huling sayaw na natin. Huling laban na natin bago pa man magkahiwa-hiwalay ng landas. Junior’s Promenade na. Huling pagkakataon na din ito upang maisabuhay ang dangal na dala ng pangalan ng pangkat na Grade 10 – Excellence . Kahusayan. Hindi na dapat magkamali sa bawat paglapat ng mga kamay, sa pagtadyak ng mga paa, sa pagpilantik ng mga daliri, at sa pag-indak ng mga katawan. Kahusayan . Maipamamalas ba natin ito? Maisasabuhay ba natin ito? Kasi wala

Paano

Paano kung iwan mo ulit ako kagaya ng biglaan mong paglisan noon sa tabi ko? Kasi ako, lumisan man ako ay isasama kita dahil ang gusto ko ay kasabay kita sa pagtahak at pagsuong sa kung saan man ako pupunta. Hindi kita iiwan, hindi ako lilisan, kasi alam ko ang pakiramdam nang may lumiban, na wala man lang paalam. Paano kung pumili ka na naman ng iba at iwan muli ako sa ere? Kasi ako, ikaw at ikaw pa din ang pipiliin ko kahit ano pa man ang mangyari. Handa akong tanggapin ka kahit ilang beses mo pa akong hindi isama sa mga plano mo. Handa akong tanggapin ka kahit ilang beses mo pa akong iwanan sa isang lugar na walang katiyakan, sa isang lugar na tanging ikaw at ako lang ang nakakaalam, sa isang lugar na tila ako na lamang ang nakakaalam. Paano kung sabihin ko na di ako titigil na magmahal at umasa sa iyo, mapapatawad mo kaya ako? Kasi ako, hinding-hindi ako magsasawang magpatawad sayo. Hinding-hindi ako magsasawang umasa na magbabago ka pa, na babalikan mo

Resentment

Resentment, a contemporary romance written by Nicole London will be published today, October 29, 2015. Here’s a little sneak peek to the story. Re•sent•ment (noun) The act of hating – no, fucking loathing Dean Collins. (Yes, I’m well aware that’s not the actual definition, but it might as well be...) It’s been ten years since we've seen each other and the feelings are still as strong. I’m not going to bore you with all the details of how our love was once intoxicating, consuming, and perfect. Because it was . . . until it wasn't. I've been fine without him. I haven’t missed his cruelty, his coldness and his spite. And after the ugliest breakup in the history of breakups, I forced myself to move on. Year by year, the feelings I had for him slowly drifted away, but one encounter with him recently changed everything. One encounter made me realize how the heart doesn't forget shit, and how my mind is going to have to work ove
