Have you ever been stuck while designing something and wanted professional feedback on your work? We understand that the design process could be tough when you don’t have guidance through the process. If you want to learn why basic typography skills matter, this critique is for you.
In this episode, we asked students from our Typography 01 class to submit their assignments to receive critiques. For week 2 of 7 critiques, we will review the concept of “Breaking down and learning how to see” as the designers were only allowed to use two weights and one point size.
Typography could just be blocks of text. We’ll talk about how to group sections based on importance and hierarchy.
