Experimental Type/Spring 2012/MW 9–11.20 AM/Cassie Hester
“Type is a thing of constant interest to me.
It is sometimes a serious and useful tool, employed to deliver a message, sell a specific article, or give life to an idea.
At other times it is a plaything that affords personal amusement and recreation. It is fun to produce fresh designs and spontaneous ideas with letters and numbers by themselves,or together with other graphic objects...” —Bradbury Thompson
In Experimental Type, students will explore the dynamic and expressive potential of typographic design through a variety of different materials and methodologies. In this highly self-motivated and self-directed class, students will investigate the creation of three-dimensional typography, the installation of typographic design into environments, and the transformative nature of typography as typographic image is pushed to its limit.
Basically, if it's experimental, it goes.
