Advanced Typography

Catalog description

Through demonstrations, slides, discussions and hands-on creative projects this course will help build a strong understanding of what goes into achieving successful typographic design. We will explore strategies in making sound typeface selection decisions, combining typefaces, and complex hierarchies. Also addressed: fine-tuning long passages of text, multiple column layouts, and typographic grids. Best practices and issues related to both print and interactive media will be covered.
