Alignment:
How does this Alignment make you feel? I hope it makes
you feel like you are pressed on one side. This kind of
alignment is easy on the eyes, especially because we read
from left to right. This would be an appropriate align-
ment for writing lots of text.
How does this Alignment make you feel? This kind of
alignment feels unnatural. Since we read from left to
right, this kind of alignment works for little text, just to
use for a few bits of important information.
This alignment keeps everything centered, you’ll normally
see this on Wedding invitations and formal publications.
It’s a formal feeling and shouldn’t be used for a lot of text,
just important information that you want to get out in the
open.
This alignment is used a lot in Newspapers to keep col-
umns straight. The only drawback is that it is a mixture of
tracking and alignment and sometimes the tracking is
different for different words. This sometimes makes it
difficult to read.
