This course is an introductory study to the typographic arts from the invention of writing to the advent of the computer age. It infuses an understanding of the historical and sociological pressures driving the development of written language with practical exercises. Emphasis will be placed initially on understanding type as an abstract design element. Once mastered, this principle will be used to communicate more complex ideas and compositions in real-world applications. Previous relevant experience can serve as course prerequisites with permission of the instructor. Prerequisites: ART 109 and GRDN 101 Additional Course Fee: $15.00
