ARTS 3037 Typography II

This course is an advanced exploration of typographic structures, terminology and methods as a tool for visual problem solving. This course is a continuation in the study of typography, including the history of letterforms, recognition and specification of existing typefaces, typographical style, and letterform design. Students will study the interpretation of visible language systems and explore typographic expression. Through lecture, studio time, discussion and critique, students will develop a series of typographical solutions from rough layout to final presentation. Conceptual interpretation and experimentation will be emphasized, as students develop their own voices as typographers and designers.
