This course provides more in-depth study of typography, design processes, technological skills, as well as historical and contemporary professional practice. Projects explore expressive and experimental typography, brand identity, design systems, and differences between print and screen design. Knowledge and learning is through lecture, hands-on presentation, readings, collaboration, and learning-by-doing. Additionally, traditional sketching techniques are employed along with brainstorming sessions. Projects focus both on creating printed documents and preparing files for electronic dissemination. Classes include short lectures, critique, discussion of reading and writing assignments, computer demonstrations, and in-class studio work. Students are expected to work outside of class to finish projects.
