Typography for Beginners


Taught by Mike
I’m currently a User Experience Designer for a fantastic agency in the city, and have worked as a Visual and Print Designer for a number of years, hold an MS in Communications Design and have taught Graduate Level courses on Typography and Design. I feel my passion for design is something I love to share with others and create the same level of excitement I have for it!
We all consume and create the written word on a daily basis. Whether it be sending an email or reading a tweet or creating a Powerpoint presentation; typography and its use can have nearly as profound an effect as the message itself.
In this Typography for Beginners course, we’ll foster a basic understanding on typography, showcase some select typefaces, and also show you how to develop a basic visual language for your future word documents, presentations, or whenever else you find yourself typing things.
A 90-minute course that will allow you to create better looking work AND understand why!
