947 PointsTypography Tutorials?
Hey guys.
Just a suggestion, this actually may be under design or something, but Treehouse should have a typgraphy course.
Typography is a must-know in web design, and whenever I ask people what they think of my website they usually dislike the fonts or how they go together.
What do you guys think? Would it be nice to have a Typography course? Or is there one that I don't know about?
Let me know!

947 PointsAw :( . What went wrong?
Adam Sackfield
Courses Plus Student 19,663 PointsImagination and creativeness are seriously lacking in my brain lol. So I stuck to the developer route and never looked back.
Dylan Dixon
947 PointsAw. Yeah, that's my biggest fear. I'm not very imaginative/creative at times but I hope that will change.
If not, I'll try out other things!
Adam Sackfield
Courses Plus Student 19,663 PointsWould defo give the design courses a try see how it feels.

947 PointsWill do!
Say, this is sort of off topic, but do you know anyone that wants to work on a framework or would like to try it out? I'm making one with a few others and we need all the people that we can get :P.
Adam Sackfield
Courses Plus Student 19,663 PointsI would lend a hand with something like that. Feel free to contact me Sacki2013@gmail.com

947 PointsAlright you've been added to the basecamp!
By the way, most of us don't know much about making a framework haha, so if there are a lot of mistakes don't be afraid to criticize us xD.
If you are better with back end stuff and javascript, you can make a new file and name it javascript or whatever code you'll be writing.
I assume you know what a framework is right?

Courses Plus Student 6,489 PointsThis is a great idea!
Allison Grayce has already touched on this here: http://teamtreehouse.com/library/photoshop-foundations/type-tools/creating-editing-type
However, I do feel like good Typography can be learnt, great Typography comes from experience in my opinion, as well as a good eye for detail and good design principles and practices. I wonder if Matt has made any videos on Typography?
Would still be nice to know if there is anything else in the pipeline that is typographic specific.

947 PointsI'll give it a go after this section of the html/css course!
Thanks!
