Editorial Design

This class is a course to learn the basics of 'Modern' editorial design from A to z. Also, this class is to practice how to practically use typographical knowledge that students already learned in the prerequisite course 'Typography Design 1'.

Unlike typography classes that focus on the operation of fonts, the editorial design will practice how to effectively deliver messages through letters and visual elements in a book format. To do this, students will experience various printed formats like stationery, brochure, and book, and practice how to effectively make and use a grid system, which is the core of practical graphic design in the Modern and even post-Modern era. Thus, in the class, students will learn the Modernism graphic design theories and practice of how to design a multi-page book systematically with repetitive grid design practices, including mimesis, etc.
