Chapter 1:
This chapter focused on the history and evolution of text as we know it today. This chapter created a time line with many images that provided sufficient supplementary information. It is fascinating to look at where type came from and where it has ended up. It's funny to look at how far type has come and what our needs from type have turned into. Originally it was just a thing used to communicate efficiently between people and now it has turned into a real art form.
Chapter 3:
The third chapter really focused in on the text and syntax within a piece. This relationship between text and syntax will elevate the communication level, resulting in a clear piece. Some things that I hadn't really thought of before were margins and columns and this chapter really laid all of those ideas out.
Chapter 6:
Signage and type were discussed in chapter 6. The ability to convey messages through type and by using appropriate methods in order to get your signs to get noticed. This chapter made me realize just how often I see signs and what sticks out to me in particular signs.
