Course Objective

The aim of the course is to use fonts from different classes learned in Typography I course in the same work. At the same time, it is to ensure that the basic rules of using fonts from different classes together to establish visual hierarchy, connect with the content and create contrast are understood. In this regard, the goal of the course is to choose the right display font and the font for the body text that will work in harmony with it, according to the content of the subject covered in the given project. For this purpose, subjects such as serif-sans serif harmony, using serif fonts together, and choosing display and text fonts are studied. The outcome of the course is to achieve its purpose by designing both a smaller-sized medium, such as a book cover, and a larger-sized medium, such as a poster, where a visual solution can be produced.
