Typography exists across printed and digital environments and as educators, it is important for our students to gain experience with type on the web. This one day workshop will help design educators integrate basic web skills and concepts into their typography curriculum or related courses. Topics covered include: an overview of HTML and CSS, general principles of responsive design, using web fonts and web font services, and basic type animation on the web. By the end of this workshop, participants will leave with several simple but effective projects they can use to supplement and enhance typography coursework. While primarily geared towards educators, anyone wanting an introductory overview of using type on the web will benefit from this workshop.

It won&#x27;t be recorded for review later. Class size is limited to 16 to allow time for feedback to each student.
