Typography 101
A new quarter has begun at The Art Institute of Charleston and my students have just completed their first assignment. Below are some pictures of previous submissions that earned an A+ for the assignment.
The assignment is intend to get new student’s of graphic design to see the intricate details of typography and understand how all of the subtle lines and forms, that make up a particular typeface, work together to create beautiful communication. As Matthew Carter stated so eloquently, “Typography is not about beautiful letters, it is about letters that work beautifully together.”
See below for the project specs. Fellow instructors please feel free to use in your classes (and email your student’s work! I’d love to see it)
