Typography is an important part of graphic design.This course will give a brief introduction to the historical context of typography and the evolution of typography in this modern computerized age.A great course for those interested in graphics design and can be used as a refresher for the working professionals.
Excellent :) Very interesting topic, but even for an introductory course not nearly enough to justify a full 4 week course for € 71!The first course, Fundamentals of Graphic Design, had more content, more (optional) assignments, and covered Typography, too.

Very easy to understand and learn about typography.
Full of information, but, being excellent exposed, it's relatively easy to understand.Excellent course!
They teach typography in a way that's so easy to understand and process.
The assignments built upon one another and proved how working hard really pays off :) This was an easy to understand course, and definitely is essential if people want to go further into graphics design.
Great course, easy to understand, a teacher with a lot of knoledge on the topic... Because letters are not just letters... You can communicate more than just words and ideas, you can communicate a time, place, feelings, etc when the correct typography... this is what this course is about.

final project
I like how each one built off of each other, so the final project did not feel so overwhelming.
My only real complaint would be the peer review system being the only provider of grades on the final project.
I had some trouble with the final project.
The instructions for the final project -- the project is the biggest part of the grade -- are ambiguous.

graphic designer
There are so many books available on Typography but I think this is best way typography can be defined for the graphic designer.
As a person belonging to design and architecture fraternity, I would definitely recommend this course to every aspiring graphic designer and artist.
Showing several posters from professional graphic designers is a good way to see what all is out there, but does not help in the creation process.
