Type Poster

This exercise helps students understand the process of typeface research and create a simple poster with logical visual and content hierarchy achieved through a modular grid system. 

Collaborative Cook Book

This book will consist of recipes and page layouts from each student in your class. Each student will be responsible for the design of a spread that follows a concept for their design while following the flexible modular grid. 

Objectives 
■ To create a cohesive layout that is usable as an instructional guide to the recipes 
■ To learn to work both independently in your layout, but also create a sense of cohesion with your collective class 
■ To establish format, hierarchy, appropriate typeface choices, and ligatures 
■ To display typesetting skills and precision in the layout of your design 

Modern Grid

Students learn to design the interior pages for a collective book of modern typographic grids and perfect bookbinding techniques. Each student will be responsible for (re)producing a modern typographic grid. 

Objectives:
■ Create individual work while contributing to the cohesion of a collaborative class project 
■ Examine the function of a modern typographic grid 
■ Develop a book that functions as a typographic resource for future design projects
