GMGX-608: Archetype Bending the Rules

Students will be asked to explore and push boundaries of typography. Students will go through several analog experiments and layout exercises that reinforce their understanding of the layout and the use of type. These will be realized using traditional letterpress typesetting and printing techniques, and as well as investigating type and letterforms through alternative methods such as lino-cuts and mask printing. Students will have to slow down and rethink how one might develop design concepts using the forms and gestures inherent in this analog process.
