Artwork by Kilian Webster

In commercial design and visual communication, the appropriate combination of meaning and form in type is essential for a project or campaign to succeed. In this course, you will develop and design your own dynamic font. You’ll also discover how type can stretch, lean, bounce and burst to convey meaning, evoke associations and inspire emotion in advertising slogans, branding, and other formats of print media.
