This course presents complex problems of typography including visual interpretation of content, hierarchy, organizational structures and typographic systems in complex documents. Systems of media and delivery will be examined in relation to the aforementioned visual systems and issues. Additionally, we will learn through reading, observation, discussion, and visual exploration — aka: the act of doing. Visual exploration may include (but not be restricted by) multiple, simultaneous/sequential/serial communication systems with variable levels of verbal and visual information. Put another way, the course focus may include the relationship of visual form to content, meaning, context, and audience; typographic function and expression; the anatomy/structure (making and breaking) of various formats; typographic nuance; traditional and technological craft.
