ART 354 | Stylin' with CSS - Chapter 4

Topic 1 - Typography in CSS

Fonts and text are different from each other. Fonts are what the character is and its character font family it uses. It can consist of letters, numbers, and have a unique look to them. Fonts are the character which can be changed in their visual appearance. Whereas text relates to how the fonts and wording is layed out in a textbook or paper. The text is the paper and how the groups of words are arranged in an order which makes it easier for us to read.

Topic 2 - Formatting Character size and Alignment

To arrange and put order to how the layout of the type we use in code, declaring tags help to give the type a hierarchy. We can declare the topics of our headings using the "h1 - h6" tags. These tags will increase or decrease the size of the fonts to give the reader a begining of what to read.

Topic 3 - Layout and Stylization of Words

CSS allows you to customize the layout through size of your text. You can adjust the text in any point size just like adjusting typography or in any other graphic design programs. When creating, to get text bigger, we can change it by ems. Also using the head tags will change the sizes of text too.

We can also stylize our webpage by creating grids and adding elements to create margins so words can line up corrently. Margins can also create and organize words into paragraphs to make them more uniform.
