Full-day session

Type is modular. When broken down, it is a series of shapes and forms. The Sensory Type workshop allows participants to explore type not only visually, but also embodied through movement and sound. We will explore how human movement, and in extension sound in a physical space, will help inspire the shapes and forms that will be applied to design type in a modular fashion.

Some of the questions we will explore are as follows:

* Where is my design rooted within myself?

* What are inspirations that I am encountering in others and in my environment without additional tools? 

* How do I apply these inspirations into my type design work?

Workshop duration: 6 hours

Total number of spots available: 20
