Course:

Fundamentals of letterforms and typography. Characteristics of typefaces; formatting and composition of type. Principles of legibility, visual hierarchy, grid systems, and the integration of type and image.

Assignment:

Students were tasked to apply what they learned about letterforms and typography to a final 16-spread book that each student would design independently for the final exam. Students were given the freedom to decide the topic, create content, and pick design choices for their books. Students received feedback from fellow students and the professor, over three weeks and presented their final designs to peers and guest professors.
