Optimising Web Design : Applying Typography Style on Web

Don't judge a book by its cover

Although said quite often, we tend to do the exact opposite; and I'm talking about books themselves! Walk into a book store and the fanciful text and colourful front cover attracts us to them.

The one missing course on typography and its correct use in user interfaces to achieve great results.

Accept it, we are creatures that loves beauty, nice, smart stuff. Now, this course will introduce and help you optimise website design in that one area we love to improve, but don't know how : TYPOGRAPHY

This course will cover the use of numerals, capital letters, small caps, italics, types of fonts, alignments through  the topics :

1. Rhythm & Proportion,
2. Vertical Motion 
3. Block & Paragraphs
4. Etiquette of Hyphenation & Pagination
5. Harmony & Counterpoint

For those who have read the book Elements of Typographic Style by Robert Bringhurst or the more recent The Elements of Typographic Style Applied to the Web by Richard Rutter will find that this course is much easier to digest than reading those books. 

The 5 topics above are generally covering Robert Bringhurst principles that are best suited to the Web. So, if you are a graphics designer, arts & media personnel or simply a budding web designer who wants to make your webpages more accurate and presentable, then join in for this single day course!
