Key learning points
- Manipulating images, or combining them with type, allows designers to create unique visuals that capture interest.

- Image and text manipulation allows designers to experiment with different styles, colours and layouts.
Keywords
Typography - the style, arrangement and appearance of text used in design to convey tone and message
Alignment - the positioning of text or elements in relation to each other, which affects clarity and balance
Contrast - the difference between elements (e.g. colour, size, weight) that helps important parts stand out
Legibility - how easily text can be read, affected by font choice, size, spacing and background
Visual hierarchy - the arrangement of elements to guide the viewer’s eye and highlight the most important information
Common misconception
Any text will work as long as it’s readable.
Typography must be chosen and placed purposefully to support the tone, audience and message - readability is just the starting point.
