You are to create your own personal font chart using InDesign. We will go over the basic foundations of Typography.

• With each new typographical category, look through the fonts available in InDesign (some computers have more fonts then others).
• Select your top 5 favourite fonts in each main category (15+ total): Serif, Sans Serif, and Decorative.
• Type out the font with the title of the font, then describe the qualities of the font and where it would be most useful. 
• Organize each font by category, you can design your font card however you wish.
• Save to your share folder and your personal network space and export as a JPG and post to your blog.
