What exactly is typography? Is it the study of fonts, or type? How do people identify with typography? Typography is beyond just the study of fonts. It helps us identify how we read material and connect with each other. This "symposium" will can give you the opportunity to take a look into the Graphic Design world and one of the main components, Typography. In this symposium/ conference the students at KCAI will help to analysis, answer questions, experimenting, and interact with you on a deeper level of what typography can be.
Typography can be defined as the arrangement of type, but is there more to typography than that? Just like a character in a book, the letterform can have its own identity. From how it is presented to the audience to looking at in depth of the stylistic chooses that are made in making letter's. These are just some of the exercises and topics that will be discusses at the conference with the students at KCAI.
Every character in a book or movie have their own identity. They have their own history, physical characteristics, and exciting experiments. When thinking about typography the letterforms has a lot in common with any character. Who would think that just a simple letter has its own anatomy and charismatic structure to it, but it does. On April 16, 2011 the junior students at KCAI will be addressing what exactly is typography. They will address type experiments, themes, and different ways that we as a society interact with letterforms everyday.
