VISC 525/ADS 560: Typographic Universe
The primary goal of Typographic Universe is to give the Design student an introduction to the world of Type Design. Type Design looks at the sequence of black-and-white forms, requires equal attention to the form of the characters and the spaces around them. We will practice designing type systematically, focusing on looking at, defining, and refining the interrelationships between forms. Particular attention will be towards the techniques and best practices for creating, drawing, and spacing type. The course uses Glyphs 3.
To get you to this point: Chicory, Waffle, Femme, Gecko, Ambrosia, Vertigo we have to start the basics.
