How to take data from the layout correctly?

Question

Layouts and prototypes

DD. For the first time I'm typesetting, they gave layouts, on each layout all the font sizes are different, the headings are different, the fonts are similar but different. Are these layout problems or does the layout designer have to select everything himself? There seems to be no grid; Indents seem to be done by eye.

Answer 1

You mean different sizes?
Each layout can have its own font size and fonts, if the designer decides so.
Why choose? Photoshop will tell you the font size.
Not by eye, ruler or selection to help.

Answer 2

Fonts you need to learn either from the designer, or see for yourself, this can be done in Photoshop by clicking on the text, if the font is not standard, you will receive a notification in which the name will be written. After you have to connect it.
The indentation on the eye is what's in the fork in the same eye. Everything needs to be measured with a ruler.

I would ask the designer himself. If he drew everything haphazardly and wants pixel-perfect - this is his problem, you need to either demand to redo it or ask for more time to work. In the future - to teach him how to make style guides. When using them, the question "something went a little on the layout" is no longer so acute - you look at the style guide and take sizes, fonts, colors from it. I once did an experiment on using a simplified-perverse approach to the issue of sizes and I can say that after writing the article, it more or less ran in (on normal sites, and not on a far-fetched example) and may well be used in the absence of a perfectionist designer .
