Instructions 说明

In this assignment, you will typeset and compose the text of your research write-up. This exercise will give you first hand experience manipulating typographic space, creating hierarchy, building a grid structure, and applying the rules and conventions of proper typesetting. It will also give you a chance to get to know your typeface in a hands-on way.
在这个任务中,你需要排版并撰写你的研究论文文本。这个练习将让你亲身体验操作排版空间、创建层次、构建网格结构和应用正确的排版规则和惯例。它还将给你一个亲手了解你的字体的机会。

Estimated time to complete: 2 hours
预计完成时间:2 小时

Part 1: Typeset Your Text 第一部分:排版文本

Place all of your written content from the last assignment in a letter-size (8.5 x 11 inch) document: title (your typeface’s name), subtitle/tagline, two paragraphs, sources.
将您上一次作业的所有书面内容放入 A4 大小(8.5 x 11 英寸)的文档中:标题(您的字体名称)、副标题/标语、两段正文、来源。

Change the font of your text to your subject typeface.
更改您的文本字体为您的主题字体。

Begin playing with type size, leading, tracking, line length, and alignment. Aim to create a type setting that is easy and inviting to read. 
Keep your text type size in the 9–11 point range. Don’t be afraid to leave a lot of white space around 
your text!
开始调整字体大小、行距、字间距、行宽和排版。目标是创建易于阅读且吸引人的版式。 保持文本字体大小在 9-11 磅范围内。不要害怕在文本周围留出大量空白!

Once you have refined your text setting, create hierarchy by giving each element of your content—
title, subtitle, text, sources—a different style and different level of visual importance using the variables of type style, size, weight, color, and leading. If you like, you can use a second typeface for some of your text.
一旦您已经调整了文本设置,通过为内容的每个元素——标题、副标题、正文、来源——赋予不同的样式和不同的视觉重要性级别,来创建层次结构。使用字体样式、大小、粗细、颜色和行距等变量。如果您喜欢,可以为部分文本使用第二种字体。

Finally, consider the space between and around your typographic elements. Move your elements around relative to one another, considering both composition (how it looks) and syntax (how it reads), until you arrive at a composition that is both attractive and well organized.
最后,考虑你排版元素之间和周围的空白。根据元素之间的相对位置进行调整,既要考虑构图(外观)也要考虑句法(阅读),直到找到一个既吸引人又井然有序的构图。

Part 2: Polish Your Type 第二部分:润色字体

Create a grid for your page, to help align elements neatly with one another. Start by creating margins of at least 1 inch. Then create columns; even if your text is a single column, a column 
grid can help you arrange elements in a structured way.
创建您页面的网格,以帮助整齐地对齐元素。首先创建至少 1 英寸的边距。然后创建列;即使您的文本是单列,列网格也能帮助您以结构化的方式排列元素。

Carefully refine the details of your typography. Polish your line breaks, and double check that you are using quotation marks, dashes, ligatures, figures, and capital letters correctly.
仔细打磨你的字体细节。润色你的行间距,并确保你正确使用引号、破折号、连字符、数字和大写字母。

Export your final composition as a PDF, with grid lines hidden, and upload it below.
导出您的最终作品为 PDF 格式,隐藏网格线,然后上传到下方。

Grading Criteria Overview 评分标准概述

This is a required, graded assignment, as well as very good practice! Two of your peers will assign you a grade on your submission based on the following criteria (1 point each):
这是一项必须的、有评分的作业,同时也是非常好的实践!两位同学将根据以下标准(每项 1 分)对你的提交进行评分:

  • Did the student upload a PDF of their composition?
    学生上传了他们的作文 PDF 了吗?
  • Did the student include a title in their PDF?
    学生是否在 PDF 中包含了标题?
  • Did the student include a subtitle in their PDF?
    学生是否在他们的 PDF 中包含了副标题?
  • Did the student include at least 2 paragraphs in their PDF?
    学生是否在他们的 PDF 中至少包含了 2 段文字?
  • Did the student include their research sources in their PDF?
    学生是否在他们的 PDF 中包含了研究来源?
  • Are the paragraph texts set in a way that is easily legible?
    段落文本是否设置为易于阅读的方式?
  • Are the line breaks in the paragraphs smooth, with no words broken into pieces shorter than 2 letters long, and no 1- or 2-letter words at the end of long lines?
    段落中的行距是否平滑,是否有单词被分成小于 2 个字母的片段,以及是否有 1 个或 2 个字母的单词出现在长行的末尾?
  • Did the student create typographic hierarchy by using at least 3 different type styles? Any 
differentiation—size, style, weight, color—counts.
    学生是否通过至少使用 3 种不同的字体风格来创建字体层次?任何差异——大小、风格、粗细、颜色——都算数。
