Introduction to Typography introduced the basics of layout, grid based design, typography and illustration. I worked on various projects including designing a typeface from scratch, creating USA Forever stamps, a type specimen book and more. This course pushed me to recognize my strengths and weaknesses, as well as how to properly manage my time.
