Typography: Anatomy, Form, and Space

Catalog description

This course introduces students to the history, aesthetics, vocabulary, and process of typography - the study and use of letterforms in graphic design. Students grow their understanding of form, composition, and the expressive potential of typography as both a message and a means of contextually appropriate visual narratives. Through a series of studio projects, students explore letterform anatomy, design, and layout through graphic application, digital 3D fabrication, and motion relationships. Six contact hours per week.
