Okay Hive I am about to pull my hair out with the summer class, Children's Literature.
One of my writing prompts is: Examine how the layout of characters ( words and marks) in Funny Bones showcases the illustrative action by bordering, facing, footing, or meshing with pictures. Discuss 3 examples of effective typographic layout from the book.
I have no idea what facing and footing means. Google is no help. Neither is the professor and my two classmates I usually text with. I asked the professor what facing and footing were and this is his response:
The terms are referring to the layout of the text blocks. Are the blocks inside full-page pictures? Are they on white pages opposite illustrated pages? Are they framing images? Are they footing or heading images?
Anyone have any clues? Thanks!!
