Letterpress can help us utilise the sensory potential of graphic communications

Well if you have got this far you realise we are going to be
doing some blogging in the course SDES2198 Advanced Typography and Publication
Design. One of the key reasons for this is that (as I am sure you already
realise) social media such as Facebook, twitter, You Tube, issu and Blogger
have taken over the web as major forces within the publishing industry. It is very beneficial for you to begin to (if you haven't
already) engage with the world of publishing as shaped by social media which has rapidly become a significant element of the future of publishing.
You are going to have plenty of opportunities to do this during the course. Throughout the course there are self-directed research tasks that ask you to carry out research and respond either here on the blog or in the the studio. Look out for invitations to join the blog as an author. Each student will be made an author able posts, links, videos and other material relevant to the course. Of course this blog is only for our course so other people (not in the class) will not be able to post to it.
The goal is to make your Advanced Type and Publishing Design elective as rich, engaging and as interactive as possible. Using a blog is also a fine way to get you thinking about the implications of this kind of technology in the context of publishing.
Get started by going to About this course and reading the CourseOutline and the DesignBriefs.
In week 1 There is also the first of our online lectures located on the Online Lectures page of the blog. Please remember to get started on the Studio Research 2 task (Due in WEEK 2). There will be more online lectures later in the course beginning WEEK 5 - until then you will be focussed on learning about and using Letterpress techniques in the studio.
So welcome aboard and Lauren and I hope you enjoy the ride. We can't say it won't have some bumps but we will do our best to make it as interesting as possible.
If you are having troubles with any aspect of the course email me at ian.mcarthur@unsw.edu.au
