    Description
    This course is intended for students interested in the theory and practice of letterforms and typography as they apply to graphic design, advertising, and other areas of design and visual communication. Focus is placed on the compositional use of type as a principal design element and its relationship to issues of visual hierarchy, readability, and page structure. Students continue their exploration of typography as an expressive visual form through typographic design projects.
