It's time to put everything you learnt about Typography into practice!

First review all 8 boards (PDFs 01-08) we covered in this course.
Read through the PDF listing all the terms (GDT_typography-terms.pdf) we covered in this course.
Complete a few of the pages (or all of them) of the Analysis Worksheet PDF (GDT_typography-analysis_worksheet_all_examples.pdf) to get better at recognizing how to utilise typographic rules in creative compositions and illustrations.
Complete the course project in your chosen application/tool (we recommend using Adobe InDesign, which offers the most control over typographic rules).
Submit your final magazine page or spread as a PDF.

Course Project: Magazine Page or Spread Design

Your task is to use the included text files and images and turn them into an engaging composition featuring as much of the typographic rules we covered in this course as possible. You can choose to work on a single page (500 words article) or a spread (1000 words article). You will find the article title and subheadings already highlighted in the text files. Feel free to use one or more of the included images (photos and illustrations) or you can also use your imagery. Alternatively you can also create a more minimalist composition; without using any photos or illustration and include purely type and perhaps some shapes.

Good luck and have fun practicing everything you learnt from this course! Don't forget to follow me if you want to be notified when I am releasing new courses.
