Typography II

Catalog description

This is an advanced study of typography as a tool and a design element. This course will consist of special projects, which will build upon and expand the knowledge the student has acquired in previous classes. The emphasis of the course will be upon layout design as it applies to print and electronic media. Students learn through concept development, typographical refinements, and polished execution of projects focusing on type relationships. Projects will explore the ability of type to communicate a message while using the typography as the primary visual. This will be accomplished through a combination of lectures, out of class reading or research, assignments/design projects, production of digital comprehensives, discussions in and out of class, and class critiques.
