Overview
The project introduced the formating of text and image using Adobe InDesign. I was given four opinionated essays on the treatment of type and was asked to develop a small publication which would house these essays. This resulted in Type Squared – a small booklet which utilizes squared angles and optical comfort while adapting, manipulating, and balancing the four core concepts behind each essay presented.

Overview
The brief of the project was to educate hypothetical beginning typographers of six well known typefaces in an interesting and engaging way. The result was “This Is Typography” – a six part kinetic type video series that presentsinformation on six typefaces. The information includes: history, characteristics, and uses. The purpose of the videos was not only meant to provide information for its consumer but also to remain engaging, concise and completely accessible for the typography student. The videos were developed to exist purely on YouTube – a platform that presents an opportunity to educate and entertain through free media.
