Elective module
Course
Far away, beyond the mountains of words, far from the lands of vowels and consonants, live the filler texts. They live secluded on the coast of semantics, next to the great ocean of language. A small brook called the Duden flows through their town, providing them with necessary rules. Filler texts are beyond even the rule of all-powerful punctuation—it is a downright unorthographic life…
In the workshop [Filler Text] we will deal with the design of text. Starting with letters as the smallest unit of writing, through to complex digital layouts, we will learn the basics of typography: technical terms, the history of writing, classification of fonts, microtypography, and the use of writing in digital media. In the tension between manual and digital works, between writing with tools and manipulating writing in layout programs, participants will develop their own layout concepts for a book publication.
