Building on the fundamentals of typographic form and function introduced in Type Studio 1, this course extends and applies basic vocabulary and understanding to more complex problems that address typographic, hierarchy, composition, context, sequence, and gestalt. Through a focused series of learning modules, students explore how typography behaves across media. Principles of information design, including cognition, communication, and aesthetics, will be examined as they relate to both print and digital publications. Increasingly complex typographic systems are implemented in multi-page and time-based projects. Format, identity, audience, content development, and emerging trends are addressed.
