In a text document place a screenshot of the UI pattern and explain why using such a pattern is a good choice for your website. In the same document identify the typefaces you will use for body and display copy. Include a small type specimen of each typeface you plan to use (the alphabet and some punctuation is fine). Explain why you have chosen the typefaces you have. Bring a printed copy of this document to class and save a digital copy as a PDF to drive.
