Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this typography class:

Typography has become the essential way of communicating language, but the mechanics involved in crafting elegant typography can sometimes seem mystifying. The key to good typography is an understanding of space. Through lectures, assignments, demonstrations and discussions this course will help build a strong grasp of the mechanics which make for good typography. Students will learn strategies in type selection, of mixing type, and an understanding of typographic grids.

The class will also cover understanding, and mastery of, minute details (dashes, punctuation, fractions, footnotes, smart spaces, all those strange glyphs in the glyph palette, etc) which often go unseen, but are essential to crafting elegant typography.

This is not a basics course, but is rather a more nuanced, deeper exploration of key ideas within typography.

Prerequisite
Participants should have a basic understanding of graphic design concepts. Working experience in graphic design, and with InDesign, will be helpful, but is not essential. 

Required Materials:
A Mac/Windows laptop with a recent version (CS4 or later) of InDesign installed is required. (A free 30-day demo of InDesign can always be downloaded from Adobe.com if necessary).

Classroom notifications will be emailed prior to the course start date.

Registration fee included
School Notes:
Registration fee is charged only once per semester.
