Description
Contemporary graphic design is a constant state of flux. As a result, the ways in which we develop, consider and use typefaces is more diverse than ever. This course will explore methods by which a student can generate and formalise a typeface using originality in research techniques. The course will look to understand how that typeface can then be integrated into contemporary print and screen applications. This course gives the opportunity to reconsider issues of legibility and readability in historical and contemporary typographic practices.
