Graphic Design Summer

You will discuss different modes of communication and think about how these determine the ways in which typography is generated, utilised and interpreted by the user. Through a series of practical workshops and off site visits to an array of the city’s rich cultural offerings, you will develop your critical and creative approach to typography within this fast evolving climate. Inspired, you will respond to a personally selected contemporary theme by designing and constructing your own typeface. To help with this process, you will be introduced to appropriate computer software. Finally you will be asked to place your font in context by designing and presenting a unique graphic poster.
