graphic design: Typography

Graphic design students have finished their work with branding and identity designs, now we are on to typography.  Be sure to ask you kids about Mr. Petersen's commandments of typography!!    We have been discussing effective typography practice, and how a different message can be delivered just by changing the space and weight of the letters.  We have also looked at some different styles including grunge design by David Carson.  We are practicing putting together some typography prints and will then finally put together one of our own.  This is such a great group of students, and I am really enjoying seeing their work this term!
