Typography is part science and part art. A failure to understand this can result in mediocre typographic expression or, worse, miscommunication. This course aims to acquaint you with the core principles of typography (the science) and inspire you to develop your powers of typographic expression (the art).
In this intensive learning and working environment, you will be given the practical and theoretical support needed to develop your own typographic practice.
Each participant will work on individual projects that develop personal and professional skills and inspire original expression. Participants will be encouraged to follow RCA’s pedagogical philosophy in developing their own projects and working towards validating and presenting their proposals to RCA tutors.
The course is led by Adrian Shaughnessy (Graphic Designer, Writer, Editor, Publisher and RCA Associate Lecturer) who also leads the Editorial Design short course, with support from Jack Llewellyn (RCA Visiting Lecturer, Freelance Typographer, and Senior Designer, Hudson Powell, Pentagram).
