Computers – typography

This week's journal prompts for writers and scrapbookers are about computers.

Today – experiment – take a poem and display or print it out in different fonts, sizes and colours if you can. Download some new fonts. Does using different fonts make a difference to how you read? To how you write? Take a piece of your own writing and play with the font/print settings.

Does it inspire you in different ways?
