Content:
This course is based on the course Logotype, where you learn how to make a logotype. Based on this logotype you are supposed to develop a font/alphabet. This is usually very challenging. The font is supposed to have i distinctive feature, and at the same time have a nice rhythm and a smooth visual picture.
