The History of Typography

During our class time in computer lab, Mr. Casal showed us a video about the history of typography. After watching this video I learned that there were a lot of types of style letters. I also learned that some kinds of type faces are old style, modern, gill sans, helvetica, pixel type.

Why I like the video is because all of the pictures are cut out of colored paper. I though the video is unique because nobody was in front of a camera it was also a different style then most videos. I like that they said what the names of the people that made the different styles of letters like William Caslon.

 

Here is the video we watched:

Windy but sunny, very nice day.

Lilies and aster my new friends right next to me.

Look, a butterfly on my petal and a bee buzzing loudly.

 

I am a Mexican Sunflower.

 

Small buds getting bigger and on its peak soon but
