Prerequisite(s): GRDS 709.


GRDS 771 Typeface Design II This course continues the development of typeface design. Students complete a 52-character alphabet, numerals, punctuation, ligatures and ornament, in three different fonts and implement them for use in digital platforms. In addition, students research contemporary typeface design applications in both print and inter- active media and perform analyses of postmodern typeface design. Prerequisite(s): GRDS 765.


GRDS 773 Portfolio Design This studio course explores various ways in which designers can best promote their talents. All possible vehicles including portfolio, resume and promotional materials are addressed with the result being a sub- stantial body of work to be used as a job-seeking tool. Experimentation and unique approaches are encouraged during this process, but clarity of mes- sage and technical proficiency are the top priorities. Prerequisite(s): GRDS 759.


GRDS 775 Typeface Design Promotion and Research The course concentrates on the history of type- face design with an emphasis on the technological advances that influenced the profession. Print media, interactive media, OEM applications for digital print- ing and handheld devices are all explored. Students choose an area of concentration, research that area, and develop a thesis for the advancement of a typo- graphic design within the context of a specific area of concentration. The various methods for marketing designs within the discussed areas of concentration are also explored. Prerequisite(s): GRDS 771.
