Aihe on: · Topic of this course:
»Information design is the integrator that brings other disciplines together
to create excellent information solutions.«
This course is the advanced training course of »Informaation visualisointi I«, where we delved already into gathering, filtering, and presenting information in accordance with effective design principles in order to understand and communicate the essence of that information.
Now we will muster all our skills and talents as designers, combine them with the rigor and
problem solving ability of a scientist or mathematician and bring the curiosity, research skills
and doggedness of a scholar to our work.

AGRA 0310 Graafisen suunnittelun workshop
AGRA 0310 Graphic design workshop
Aihe on: · Topic of this workshop: Kirjoitus suunnittelu · Typeface Design
Visual communication includes doubtless typografie as the balance and interplay of letterforms on the page. Digital font technology makes it easier for end-users to do text processing, typesetting and layout without sacrificing the typographic quality and logical correctness of the text. Using digital fonts is getting easier since the last 30 years, but developing them is more complex. In this workshop we will start from just drawing letters, to provide an insight into a type designers needs to know about encoding, hinting, layout features and various parameters that need to be set inside of a font. We will see behind the curtain of font formats from Type 1 font format, TrueType font format till todays Unicode Standard and using an digital font editor to develope your own typeface and the possibilities to enhance yourself independently.
