Typography — Learning from looking closely, learning techniques
We can learn a lot about typography by looking closely at good typography. Through looking you can identify what makes good typography work, and what elements contribute to a solid typographic 'system'. In this session, I will show you where to find excellent documents from the typography industry and share what you can learn from analysing these examples. Through this process of looking, you will learn to evaluate your typography and improve your work. You will look into the purposes of typographic elements (display titles, headings, reading text, detail type etc), and begin to understand how to control these elements to make good typographic design choices. The session can be tailored to your specific needs — whether you are at an intermediate or further level. When the opportunity arises, I can demonstrate how to implement certain typographic approaches in InDesign or Affinity Publisher. The session is 90 minutes — we will need this time for the session to be meaningful to you, and it will include a small starter presentation by myself to set the context for the remainder of the session. I'm sure that within this session several other areas relating to typography will emerge — further engaging you with a rich and deep field within design.

My name is Sara and I'm here to make your life easier, whatever it is you need to improve. After more than six years of teaching, I have realized that most of the time, in the traditional educational system, there are no other tools or they are not provided for those students who need other types of resources. Knowing this, my idea is to provide the student with the resources they need, in an attractive and fluid way, adapted and focused on each one. At the beginning of the classes, we will get to know each other a little and together we will develop a work plan with the methodology, processes and lessons that best fit the objectives we set for ourselves. Your successes are my successes, and you can count on me to accompany you throughout the entire process. Don't think twice and let's embark on this adventure together!
