How To Communicate With Typography
In this Master Class webinar, Ellen Lupton will show you how to apply basic principles of typography to meet communication challenges.
Typography is an essential element of user experience. Language appears everywhere in digital communication, from micro-copy and UI elements to long-form articles. An effective typographic design helps users find the content they want.
As a designer, you probably know that feeling at ease and creative with typography takes time and experience. But a little expert advice can make it much easier for you!
In this Master Class with Ellen Lupton, learn how to focus on what you want users to see, do, and feel as they navigate a text. Inspiring examples and practical demos will help you enhance the meaning of a text by applying basic design principles such as:
- Fonts: How to choose and combine typefaces
- Alignment: How to build a structured layout
- Patterns: How to create emphasis
- Details: How to make it sparkle and shine
Ellen Lupton is the author of dozens of best-selling design guides, and with her tips, you can make confident choices about fonts and layouts.
Join this Master Class webinar learn how typography can improve your work as a UX or UI designer from the bottom-up and the inside-out.
