Continued exploration of visual structure and hierarchies of information through the organization of typographic space. Emphasis is on the use of type to create messages, both literary and visual. The coursework will further understanding of conceptual design solutions and visual problem solving as a part of the creative process. The projects will broaden and refine the mastery of composition using type and layout. Students will develop: an understanding the design and anatomy of letters constructing words; letter and line spacing composing paragraph text; creating reading paths and evocative forms creating hierarchies of meaning other than the classic reading paths by manipulating hierarchical variables of type creating sequence and mood across multiple pages.

100 Days Project
Starting on the first day of class, students were to pick a design activity that they could repeat every day
for the next 100 days. The operation must be repeated in some form every day and documented. The medium is open, as is the final form of the presentation on the 100th day. (Thanks to Michael Bierut for the project inspiration.)
