This course explores cultural, historical and practical aspects of typographic and publication design. As the complexity of publication design has increased with the integration of information in a greater range of contexts, the designers role has changed significantly. Students explore the emerging relationships between typography, publication design and technology. Books and online publications in print and screen media are developed to gain an advanced understanding of dynamic typography, page and screen architecture and information layout.
Advanced Typography and Publication Design includes a weekly one-hour lecture. In the preliminary stages of the course this is integrated into the Letterpress Studio and Project 1. Lectures for this course are offered online from week 5 with an accompanying Studio Research Task, a two hour studio and self directed study. Lectures include presentations of conceptual and practical approaches to a range of graphic design practices. The studio activities include Studio Research Tasks that support your project development.
