Description

Traditional divisions between reading and looking have been challenged by recent developments in typeface design and typographic layout in publication design. This course presents the opportunity for students to explore contemporary practices in the reworking of legibility and readability in typographic design through projects that interpret historical practices in typography, illustrative typography, pattern design and a self-directed project.
