DES-643 Typographic Design Studio

3 Credits

This course seeks to promote problem-solving concepts, emphasizing the use of type and the letterforms as visual communications tool – prompting the student to think as opposed to producing mere layout. It encourages students to work in terms of client-designer relationships, simulating actual working conditions. Assignments are critiqued using professional standards. Upon approval of ideas, students follow through with client presentations, developing portfolio pieces as the ideal final result. These pieces are due for review at the end of each semester.
