Syllabus :: somethign like this

I would say 3 - 4 projects for the semester ...
biggest thing is hierarchy, scale, contrast... building in complexity and different media and formats


Personal Monogram
or some typographic mark exploration / brand (shortish project)
Photographer Magazine Article or LongRead some sort of project that deals with a lot of text
Font poster or Font Zine
Could do Motion if you want famous speech
could do that project you did with the freshman about a speaker (poster, social...)
one year we did this project about a conference at the end it is super intense but fun

Modular Font <- you can do this if you want
Modular Grid <- spring 2022 did this so don't repeat it in Fall 2022
Publication <- spring 2022 did this so some sort of publication but but not this one
