Typography Jobs

About Typography Jobs

By definition, typography is the art of letter design and illustration, and is more commonly known as lettering. A typography job employs this art form in all printed material including various types of media such as billboards, leaflets, and posters. In today's terms, typography has evolved and started to include graphic design and animation. The digital age has caused typography to become part of web page designs, computer games, and cellular phone LCDs. Typography jobs are readily available for graphic artists, compositors, visual designers and art directors. Typography covers a wide scope because it includes all aspects of lettering that can be found in industries such as:

• Film Industry- the opening and ending credits of a film or television show
• Advertising Industry- billboards or TV commercials
• Clothing Industry- T-shirt designs and prints
• Print Industry- newspaper headings, book covers, titles and the like.
• Automotive Industry- vehicle stripes and other adhesions
• Manufacturing Industry- product labels and logos

A typographer's work needs to be always attractive and most often than not, innovative. Typography work should also be original, because Intellectual Property Rights will become an issue should someone discover a typography job copied from somewhere else. Traditionally, typography jobs follow the four basic rules of contrast, repetition, alignment and proximity. For someone who wants to land a typography job, there are two major typography classifications to learn; text typography and display typography.

Text Typography

The emphasis of text typography is in legibility, coherence, and visual stimulation in order to coax a reader's subconscious. Choice of font is of prime importance, and a text typographer needs to keep in mind his target readership. Commercial, religious, historic, scientific and informal writing, all require specificity and suitability for the reader. Only a small number of typefaces are used in order to achieve a sense of formality. Text typography is heavily used in newspapers and other form of periodicals.

Display Typography

Contrary to text typography, display typography focuses more on artistry. Color and size are main concerns. They are employed for their emotional effect. The tone, detail and nature of the design are heavily exaggerated. Display typography may employ text typography, photographs, or a combination of both in the finished product. The advertising industry makes extensive use of display typography in their promotional materials. Typographers aim to set the mood and theme for an ad material in order to draw attention to it.

Work Environment

A typographer can choose to work independently or for a business establishment such as an advertising firm, a newspaper company, etc. Generally, typographers have flexible hours, and may sometimes have the luxury of working at home since some employers only need them to submit their assigned typography job on a given deadline. There are some exceptions though, since there are those that are required to work regular hours, such as the typographers who work for a newspaper company. Salaries can be expected to be high because the job entails highly imaginative and creative people a talent that proves elusive to most.
