Grids & Layout
with
Ellen Lupton
Practice creating structured layouts and elegant details while designing a typographic poster/broadside. Use grids to organize content, build a hierarchy, and generate resonant visual elements. Explore alignment, balance, grouping, and tension. During this one-day session, each participant will hone their individual approach to typographic thinking. Participants receive active feedback throughout the workshop in a unique setting that maximizes hands-on engagement.
