Appreciating the commitment you put into your website and in depth information you provide. It’s awesome to come across a blog every once in a while that isn’t the same out of date rehashed information. Wonderful read! I’ve saved your site and I’m including your RSS feeds to my Google account.
Interesting discussion and good advice for beginning designers and students. Just one small correction for you: The pronunciation of the word “leading” is actually “ledding.” The origin of the word comes from days of hand-set type, when thin strips of lead were inserted into the forms to increase the vertical distance between lines of type.
