First Years, Eleventh Project - Typographic Posters
Our first year students have just spent a challenging and fruitful two weeks working alongside our 'national treasure', H.R.H The Typographer Royal, Dame Rhiannon Robinson OBT*.As you probably know, Dame Rhiannon is a demanding taskmistress with a ruthless, critical eye that can spot the slightest typographic imperfection at more than twenty paces.
Luckily for our novice students she took them through the fundamentals of good typography through a series of lectures and on-screen tutorial sessions.
This is but the start of a very long journey, but even after such a short time the students can all spot loose tracking, unfortunate apostrophes, orphans, widows and line lengths that are too long or too short.
The project was deceptively simple. Take some information about a typeface like this:

So, without further ado, let's look at a range of development work alongside some final pieces.
