DA 210 Illustration and Typography introduces students to the anatomy and mechanics of written language so they can use this understanding to successfully work with text and image in their design practice. Students will expand their understanding of form, colour, composition, typography, hierarchy, juxtaposition and sequencing through the practical application of hand and computer skills.
Prerequisites: DA 112 and DA 113 both with a minimum grade of 50%
