I enthusiastically accepted the opportunity to return to my alma mater to teach a semester of typography to students early in their design education. It was an honor to show students that letterforms are art forms, how to geek out about two-story 'g's, how to get mad at every restaurant menu they will ever see, and the immense importance of caring deeply about the treatment of type in everything they design, from first draft to completion.Developed a semester plan of lectures and projects designed to introduce new designers to the principles of typography.Led critiques and class discussions. Guided design students through projects. Provided design and conceptual inspiration. Shared accumulated typography knowledge.Analyzed work and assigned grades. Evaluated students and shared findings with tenured professors.
