Typography is an essential aspect of graphic communication, but the principles involved in doing so elegantly can sometimes seem mystifying. Through demonstrations, critiques and hands-on projects this course will help you make assured typographic decisions. We will explore strategies in making sound typeface selection decisions, and master how to mix multiple typefaces. We will learn how to address complex hierarchies. We will also tackle fine-tuning long passages of text, and explore various methods of building typographic grids.
Participants should have a basic understanding of graphic design concepts. Some experience in graphic design, and with InDesign, will be helpful but is not necessary.
A Mac/Windows machine with a recent version of InDesign installed is required. All classes will be over Zoom in group and one-on-one settings.
This class meets for 8 consecutive weeks but skips November 23. Times are listed in Eastern US times.
Registration for this class opens September 7.
