Learner Reviews & Feedback for Introduction to Typography by California Institute of the Arts
About the Course
for graphic designers. Typography predates modern graphic design by around 500 years; it is rich in rules, conventions, and esoteric
terminology—but it remains an exciting space for invention and expression. In this rigorous introductory course, we will study, name, and
measure the characteristics of letterforms. We’ll consider the pragmatic concerns involved in selecting and combining type. We’ll peek into the
rich historical, cultural, and aesthetic histories of familiar typefaces. We’ll discuss time-tested conventions and best practices...
