The aim of this course is to teach you how to work with type at the exact same standard as a creative professional. We will be working with type in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign as well as learning some essential theory knowledge for this topic.

Working with type in Graphic Design is essential. Visual communication relies mainly on the combination of images and text. In a good design typography is an integral part of the composition as a whole and in many cases the whole design is based around a creative use of typography.

The course will start by providing you with some useful resources for creative professionals, like design terms to ensure you are familiar with, useful websites to bookmark and a way to get to grips with keyboard shortcuts. Which can half your working time!

Then we will jump right in to learning about the definition of a font, the different types or classifications of fonts, how to choose the right font when working on a projects and loads more!

Next we will move onto working with text, adding type to compositions, changing colours, formatting/editing existing text so it looks great and pick up some time saving shortcuts.

The final chapter is the longest and most advanced. Learn about working with body copy, how to apply text wrap, add drop caps, customise fonts and loads more!
