Designing with text

As you all know the pages of a book and the type under a headline are usually composed for easy reading. When much textual information introduced in a layout, one starts dealing with the overall look of the text block. The designer can control the look of the text block by specifying point size, type face, letter spacing, word spacing and other aspects of it. Text may be centred, asymmetrical, left or right aligned. Consider all those aspects of it. Design your given text according to readability rules.

Do not forget; text should be readable and legible but that does not mean it should be boring. Consider applying rules but make it inviting also.
