The typography workshop’s goals are to introduce students to the history
and usage of typography as a tool of communication. We are particularly
interested in the way that, as Robert Bringhurst says: “As a craft,
typography shares a long common boundary with writing and editing on
the one side, and graphic design on the other, yet typography itself
belongs to neither.”
Typography is a perfect place to learn some basic principles of graphic
design: communication, composition, scale, hierarchy, texture, clarity,
and expression.
Through a sequence of progressively more complex and challenging projects
we will explore the different ways that typography can support, enhance,
and subvert the meaning(s) of the texts, words, and phrases it conveys.
