ARST 242
Fall 2019
Section: 01  
Certificates: Integrated Design, Engineering & Applied Science Minor
Course Cluster: Integrated Design, Engineering & Applied Science Minor

The fundamentals of fonts, letter forms, typographic design, elements of the book, and an introduction to contemporary graphic design are considered through a progression of theoretical exercises. Once working knowledge of the typeshop and InDesign (software for book design) is acquired, each student conceives, designs, and prints: first, a broadside, then a book. Use is made of the collection in the Davison Rare Book Room at Olin Library. While NOT a required sequence, this course is strongly recommended before taking ARST243.
