This workshop will challenge you to build your skills on both the macro- and micro-typographic level. You will learn how to wrangle your favorite typefaces into the most beautiful, interesting, and readable layouts. You'll also get some insider tips on how to choose typefaces and how to combine two (or more!) of them, learn some techniques for creating clarity within typographic systems, and find out how to fine-tune long passages of text with multi-level hierarchies (oh, my!).

Come learn how fun it is to be seriously finicky and fastidious with type. Guaranteed to make you a better designer...and a better person. ;)

Bring your laptop and a recent version of Adobe InDesign. This workshop is based on Carolina's award-winning typography book, Explorations in Typography . A signed copy of the book (plus some other typographic goodies) is included in the price of the workshop!
