As I designer I can't help but speak up for the art of typography:-) There are plenty of great opportunities to incorporate "display" fonts (e.g. scripts, novelty outlines etc), as long as one uses the judiciously, and never in body text. Likewise, there's a whole world of beautiful and readible serif and sans-serif fonts (beyond arial and TNR) that can be invaluable in communicating the themes in your exhibition. A typeface that relates to the work or objects you're presenting gives you the best chance of remaining relevant and up-to-date, even as trends change. -- Johanna Goldfeld Design, LLC Graphic and Exhibition Design Tel: 718-789-1238 Visit my website: www.jgoldfeld-design.com Sign up for my newsletter: Pointers - Tips, ideas, and inspiration from the world of exhibition and graphic design On Thu, Mar 22, 2012 at 7:28 AM, Daniel Lay wrote: Also consider the font you pick. Make sure your font is easy to read. Try to avoid trendy fonts, as they will appear dated in a few years. Discreet fonts, like arial or times new roman, will look classy for years to come.
