Typography - Before and After
Rationale
I chose this image to redo for Typography for one simple reason, I could not easily read what the title and section headers said from a distance. I had planned to use this as a basis for a Daily 5 item in my classroom, but was not happy with the font choices so I held on to it for later use. I decided this was the perfect later use for it. To make the image easier to read, I simply replaced the title and section headers with another bubble font, but this time I filled them with solid colors instead of bubbles. I found that, after several trials and errors, the bubble letters look best for this application so I wanted to keep them and just change the inside color. This made it not only look better but much easier to read up close and from a distance.
