SUMMER CLASS

Monday, June 25th, 2012

This year we had the opportunity of an intensive short summer workshops of Experimental Typography. Every class we did a little typographical intervention (QUICK TYPE) writing a special sentence with different materials. The theme for creating an alphabet (ALPHA TYPE) had to do with Myth and Reality, and finally the students had to make a “real time exam” of  a typographical intervention (FREE TYPE) about Legends of the University. Here are the some impressions:
