The semester in Typography III has taught the development and design of content-rich projects such as books, portfolios and posters. Typography not only has an formal functionality to it but the arrangement and design of it on the printed page can persuade just as powerfully as image, music or speech. The marriage of type and image can serve an incredible purpose if executed together well.
Research behind artifacts we have designed such as Tender Buttons by Gertrude Stein, Good Design is for Everyone by Russel Wright and a mailer for the typeface Bodoni BE, is imperative in interpreting image and text correctly. Without research and study of the artist and the artwork time period the graphic design artifact produced would not be true to the content or author.
My understanding of typographical form and etiquette has been deepened by studying and understanding The Elements of Typographical Style by Robert Bringhurst and by many class and faculty critiques of on going process.
