topography is without a doubt one of the most key and essential parts of graphic

psychology of typography is an interesting and the very in-depth
subject that we're going to explore in today's video and it's also going to
improve your design skills if you do follow along with the tutorial as a

graphic design principle and you should study and familiarize yourself with it
to grow as a graphic designer but getting into the psychology side of
things there's a phenomena called the pictures priority effect which
essentially means people are more likely to recall visual stimuli than anything
else that means that when the way the typography appears on a graphic design
it's most likely gonna stick in the mind the people who view it more than the
actual wording and what it says but also it's gonna have an emotional response
we're going to talk more about the emotional side of things later in the
video
there is another theory that ties into the psychology of typography and that's
the gesso theory people typically view different parts of something as a
unified whole when possible so in other words we deliberately try to find
meaning in things even when there's no obvious apparent meaning the gesso
theory tells people in the design world that they could convey meaning by
insuring all parts of a unified whole work together as one
this means your typography needs to fit within the overall design style and
convey the message that you wanted to convey visually speaking of course so
take for example a poster design that is minimal in nature and advertising a
brand for a new Nike shoe will Comic Sans fit the bill here and appeal to the
viewer when choosing fonts always think about the way they appear and if it fits
with the message of your design and a style of the entire design as a whole
the way your font looks and appears will instantly cause a reaction in the viewer
consciously or subconsciously do you want to shock your audience do you want
to make them feel comfortable maybe you want to make them smile or laugh now
these are all things you need to keep in mind when you're designing and selecting
typography
so going back to the emotional side of things in terms of the psychology of
typography you need to understand that each phone to have a personality some
fonts are funny and playful some a serious and quiets
what others are really loud and obnoxious
