Typography

Typography is the graphic way of expressing language, positioning letters and organising space. It is common for visual messages to use text in addition to images. You surely know and use different typefaces. The way advertising media makes use of typography is especially noteworthy.

UNDERSTAND, THINK AND APPLY… Design a special typeface. You can modify an existing one, combine it with others or create your own from scratch. Use basic shapes, or more complex ones for the letters. You can also fill them in, in a way that is special. Write your name with this new typography. You will need... Graphite pencils, rulers, colours, markers.
