Course Description

So many typefaces, so little time! How do I pick out a typeface for my projects? Typography is the formal study of letterforms. Students gain perspective into this important field by starting with understanding the difference between a typeface and a font – they are NOT the same. Students explore ways to categorize type into families and identify and define similarities and subtle differences in classical typefaces. We will review typography terminology, understanding how to use typography to evoke emotion in your work, as well as the aesthetic discipline of using type effectively as a designer. Some familiarity with Adobe applications is helpful, but not necessary. Previous experience using Windows/Mac OS is required.
