#kerning

[sweaterkittensahoy]

This tattoo is very funny when you know that kerning is the fancy term for the space between letters. Very important in text design to get it right.

APP 3: PASSAGE 

For this design I worked with the manifesto Think different by Apple. I used hierarchy to bring emphasis to the most important parts, by using a bolder typestyle and making some words bigger. I algo played with the alignment to balance the weight of the bold words. Adjusting the tracking and the kerning made the text look different, so I also adjusted the tracking in some words to make them look longer, without having to make them bigger. I learned that the way you stylize the words can give a whole new perspective to a text. 

Manifesto: 

Apple: think different   Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify, or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

If you're an RPG company looking for a designer, I promise that if you hire me this kind of thing won't happen.

The earliest recorded use of the word “keming” was in 2008. It’s a bit of visual wordplay; kerning is the adjustment of space between letters, and if you kern the word “kerning” improperly, the r and n can merge to form an m. “Kerning” becomes “keming”.

The word has spread widely, and has elevated from an internet joke to a word in common use. It's time Merriam-Webster added it to their dictionary.
