Games for Designers

3

Last year, I wrote a little item about Kern Type, a fun little game that teaches players how to kern type. 

 

It’s part of Design for Programmers, a course in design for analytical and logical thinkers. 

And now Kern Type is joined by Shape Type, a game where you use Bezier handles to try and recreate the shapes of some famous fonts. It’ll test your type knowledge and your vector-pulling prowess.

You get a score based on how accurate your letter shapes were.

And when you’ve had enough font fun, check out Color, a color matching game where you have just a few seconds to manipulate a color wheel to match specific hues, saturations, and color combinations. It’s fiendishly simple and addictive.

    There are no directions, subsequently how are you supposed to play it if there is more than one color in the multiple triangles? It’s not fun if you don’t know what your supposed to be doing.
