Good and Bad Typography

It is important to recognize poor uses of type as well as good. Looking through your magazines find an example of poor letterspacing, word spacing or leading. Cut the example out. Paste it to a sheet of paper and be prepared to tell why you believe it to be bad type.

Gather three examples of display type (headlines and other forms of type used for larger non-text messages). How do the letterforms create the mood of the piece? Paste them on another sheet of paper. Below the forms, describe the context and how the letters achieve their impact.
