(5 of 7) Welcome to the Typography Week 5 Critique
If you are interested in the typography course, check it out here - https://bit.ly/Type01_yt
How can you improve your typography designs without the help of professional instructors? We understand that the design process can be tough without 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. Chris Do and Milka Broukhim conduct the critique live and review multiple student projects, good and bad!
In this part 5 of 7 critique episodes, we will review the concept of grouping sections based on importance and hierarchy, using Any Weights and Point Sizes.
