Prerequisite(s): ARFD 101 and VIST 102. Restriction(s): Visual Communication Design majors only. Typography is the effective arrangement of visible language. Projects that encourage thoughtful exploration of point size, weight, line spacing, letter spacing, typographic grids, and formats will enable students to thoroughly address type-related problems. Calligraphy exercises and supporting lectures concerning fonts, font styles, typographic terms, and typesetting technologies develop the frame of mind needed to successfully practice this craft. Students will come to understand the typographer’s role as arbiter of taste and creator of meaning.
