Measuring Type
-Pica em the size of a letter m at 12 pt in any typeface
-em the size of a letter m at any size in any typeface
-ligatures join awkward letters such as ff
To measure the size of any letter, go from the top of the ascender to the bottom of the descender. Then to measure the leading go from the bottom of the descender to the bottom of the next lines descender.
I pushed myself further with the letterpress to create a piece of text of both horizontal and verticle alignment aswell as two different sizes

On the second sheet i highlighted the red in the image as her hair is a very strong colour and could dominate the whole piece. Looking back on my designs i feel as though i could have been more creative with the layouts although i am happy with my final decision.
