课程概述

Typography is the art of manipulating the visual form of language to enrich and control its meaning. It’s an essential area of skill and knowledge for graphic designers. Typography predates modern graphic design by around 500 years; it is rich in rules, conventions, and esoteric terminology—but it remains an exciting space for invention and expression. In this rigorous introductory course, we will study, name, and measure the characteristics of letterforms. We’ll consider the pragmatic concerns involved in selecting and combining type. We’ll peek into the 
rich historical, cultural, and aesthetic histories of familiar typefaces. We’ll discuss time-tested conventions and best practices in setting type, as governed by principles of hierarchy and spatial organization. And we’ll explore the expressive, meaning-making potential of type. Informative lectures will be complemented by a series of three peer-assessed assignments, culminating 
in an opportunity to design a full-scale typographic poster. Please note that this is not a software course; a basic working knowledge of Adobe InDesign or other 
page layout software will be assumed. You will need access to a computer and page layout software, such as InDesign, to complete the assignments....

This is some really professional grade knowledge. I did not know that this course could have such a great impact on my ideology of design. This changed everything I think about design.

I was excited to learn about typography, these assignments were fun to do. I wished there were more assignments to create more posters for this typography course, overall I enjoyed and learned a lot.

Basic overview of Typographical ideas, terms and so forth. A bit short and not very technical, but playing with Type as an integral part of design was really fun and inspirational.

peer grade review takes a lot of time and even when i have submitted the assignment before time its not being reviewed.

In the first 2 weeks there was no hands-on project, literally nothing exciting just dry material.

Would have welcomed more or longer lectures, and more variety in the assignments.

I am following the Specialization in Graphic Design, so I was expecting in-depth theory about typography, but the course barely expands on the theory given in the "Fundamentals of Graphic Design" course, so it is indeed an introduction. Do not expect more.

Overall, the content is good and the instructor provides some examples, which I apreciate, but it feels too rushed. Sometimes they simply mention concepts not going into any depth, nor showing enough practical examples, making it difficult to grasp.

On the other hand, the peer review system is just absolutly terrible and probably the worst part of all these courses. The system just does not work. And it's simply not possible to improve or learn without proper feedback on assignments.

Unfortunately there are just too many students who don't take it seriously and not only don't follow the intructions for the assignments but also don't review correctly. I have seen other people complain about this so I wish CalArts would act on it and did something to improve the peer-review system or provided an alternative grading system altogether.

Coursera issue, not the course itself.

Coursera app via appleTV is not compatible despite being available as something to download on that platform. I did work on both appleTV and desktop apps before I realized that the work did not transfer from one format to the other.

Coursera was not helpful in fusing the work so my participation was a bust despite the GREAT quality of the material.

I liked the course and the material, but It was frustrating working with whatever bug plagued the system. Moved and switched due dates, peer reviews not recording. It was a total mess

The participants specifically give zero points, even though they are not designers. Please remove the task marking function by other participants
