Tutorial Time- Photoshop's Character Palette 

Take a few seconds of your precious time students, look closely and `LEARN the VOCABULARY of the Character Palette.....This will HELP you as you lay out the TEXT on your goals poster...

KEY POINTS ARE:
1. LEADING- "the space between lines"  >> 
This text adjustment is CRITICAL to good design...

TIP> You want the lines of text to be close but be careful of text ascenders and descenders creeping into the next line>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

2. TRACKING- "the space between all the characters (text) that you highlight-
Letter-Spacing, also called tracking, refers to the amount of space between a group of letters to affect density in a line or block of text.

TIP- This is a good area to experiment-you can make some cool effects by changing the TRACKING of the text

3. KERNING- "the space between 2 characters (text)
Kerning is a term applied specifically to the spacing adjustment of two particular characters to correct for visually uneven spacing. 

FINAL THOUGHTS (like they matter )
 Use caution with both kerning and tracking. Tracking is very often wildly overdone, 
Kerning is seldom done enough.
