Students build on the knowledge gained in Typography I. The course teaches the student to create more sophisticated solutions for communication problems, bridging the gap between speaker and audience. Students are presented with challenges pertinent to informational dissemination as it has evolved, such as information charting, time-based media and complex hierarchies. The student produces both two and three dimension solutions. This course is needed to further prepare students in an integral part of the design profession. Students study current solutions and and important designers. They will emerge with projects that will immediately Signify their readiness for employment with firms whose clientele demand the most current typographic design. Class design projects build toward a final portfolio needed upon graduation from the program. C... "\t\1n
