"type design for the screen" is an online elective i'm teaching over the winter intersession. it will be our first foray into an entirely virtual learning experience, allowing you to make awesome typefaces and related projects in your p.j.s at home. i'm looking for more interested individuals to register for this exciting course. here's the description:
This course will examine issues of designing and using typefaces for screen use, including text-sized faces (pixel fonts) and display faces, history of screen-based fonts, legibility issues, modular letterforms built from the online “fontstruct” application, and interactive/behavioral/motion-based typefaces enabled by the screen and user input. a font development application will be required, costing around $60.

I want to take it! I'm a student, right?? :o(
I'm really interested in this. What do I need to do?
garrett, there's probably a way you can "follow along in your book". i'll see what i can do as far as an audit, if you really want to take it.
dustin, it should be listed in webreg when you register for your classes. it's a design elective and the course title is "type design for the screen". if you can't find it, ask your advisor or andrea khan -- akhan at kcai.edu
ok, it's for the "WINTER 2008-09" session, so you have to ask/look for that specifically.
I'm in too, I love workin' in my P.J.s!
that would be amazing, Tyler! I've always wanted to take a class like this.
