CS2673: Typographic Design

This course will introduce the fundamentals of typographic design. Students will learn various concepts in typography—how the letterform has the power to communicate meaning and mood. The course will focus on improving design by learning to see type differently and choosing type that’s appropriate for a given job and setting it in creative, attractive and effective compositions. For each unit of credit, a minimum of three hours per week with one of the hours for class and two hours for studying/preparation outside of class is expected.
