Short description
The craft of graphic design requires mastery of typographic design and of the digital applications used to execute it. This carefully sequenced guide builds students' skills and creativity in both of these areas together from the ground up. Readers will learn to observe and reflect on how type functions and develop strategies for creative typographic design. Each lesson in typography is paired with a companion lesson in the digital tools of design production. This combination allows the student to put theory directly into practice.
