Course Info

GD 330: Typography:Projects

This course is an advanced investigation into typography and text for verbal and visual expression. Analysis of meaning and structure, design composition, and communication to specific audiences is studied. Projects are both pragmatic (for example, textbook design), and expressionistic (found and constructed typographic compositions that are poetic and conceptual). Emphasis is placed on the study and creation of meaning in relation to audience, culture, and history. Some content is provided in certain projects and in others is largely based on the student's own research and writing.

GD 230 is a prerequisite for this class.
