Typography Two Assignments

Welcome to this blog! I (Lis Charman) teach at Portland State and coordinate the Graphic Design program and this blog is a collection of the Typography Two work developed by Portland State graphic design students (with a few extra curricular projects included). I teach Typography 2, a 10 week course that consists of two projects, first an experimental set of Type Constructions (part 1 & 2) and a Cultural Campaign project where students select a fictional or actual cultural organization to promote through print, out-of-home / advertising and motion. Find more information about the class assignments after the jump. Enjoy!
