Typography and Poster Design

Description

Good posters depend on type more than on decoration. In 10 PDF lessons this mini-course takes you from letterform anatomy to a finished poster you can print or share online.

Early lessons explain how to choose fonts, including serif against sans-serif, and how size, weight and spacing build visual hierarchy. You then look at colour and mood, layout principles and grid systems before working through a hands-on poster project. Later lessons add texture and effects, show how to export files for print and digital use, and help you shape a portfolio piece. Most lessons include exercises you can complete with whatever design tool you already use.

Who it is for: beginners in graphic design who want to make clear, well-organised typographic posters.
