A BRIEF HISTORY ON Type & TYPOGRAPHERS
Artists and designers have been designing fonts for centuries. Throughout history, the development of technological advancements has been instrumental in the progression of typography as a tool and as a design form. New technologies have always inspired designers to explore new capabilities and challenge the boundaries of existing visual language structures, in order to express their unique experiences and differentiate themselves from their predecessors. You will explore and experiment with the compositional
arrangements of a book cover in a creative and unique presentation. Design it so that someone would want to buy it and place it at home on their coffee table or in a work place waiting room.
