In-Person Typographics Conference ticket holders can get a 10% discount on this workshop. Discount must be taken at the time of registration. No partial refunds will be given.As new technologies emerge, typography educators are challenged to balance contemporary approaches with foundational concepts. While learning some HTML and CSS is valuable to any designer’s web typography toolbox, new “low code” platforms are offering more typographic control on the web. This two-day workshop will help design educators integrate both code-based and low/no-code tools into their typography courses. On day 1, we&#x27;ll discuss design principles of type on the web, HTML and CSS typography basics, and several web-based tools that require no or little coding skills. On day 2, we&#x27;ll put what we learned into practice. By the end of the workshop, participants will leave with several simple but effective projects to supplement existing coursework and gain an awareness of both code-based and no code platforms for teaching typography on the web. While primarily geared towards educators, anyone wanting an introductory overview of web typography tools will benefit from this workshop. No experience with HTML or CSS is required.Required Materials<ul><li>Computer / Laptop</li></ul><ul><li>Software (free download or sign up): Visual Studio Code ReadyMag Webflow GitHub Glitch</li></ul>Amy Papaelias is an Assistant Professor of Graphic Design at the State University of New York at New Paltz.
