Description:
Typography 1 is a discipline-specific course designed to teach the fundamentals of this basic building block of graphic design. Typography’s primary concern is language and the form it takes — on a page, a screen, or in the environment — and how that contributes to its meaning. Emphasis will be placed on historical and contextual traditions — ideas about function, clarity, structure, and expression. A good typographer is aware of these historical precedents and uses them — or works against them — to make meaning. Through a series of structured projects, this course will cover topics such as macro- and micro-typography, typographic voice, typographic systems, and publication design. This course is open to non-graphic designers who want to better incorporate typography into their work.
