Students attending this workshop will develop the typographic skills required to produce professional graphic design. The emphasis will be on learning the fundamentals of correct typesetting and on how a deeper understanding of proper typesetting can produce better design that actually communicates to the reader. These are working sessions intended to develop practical skills.

All applicants are expected to have taken at least one course in basic typography. They must bring their own laptop and have a licensed copy of Adobe InDesign®.

To better tailor the workshop to the needs of the participants we ask that you submit a portfolio for review to the office of The School of Extended Studies by June 24. Your portfolio should include a current resumé. We look forward to meeting you.
