HfG Schwäbisch Gmünd, Typography, Spring 2008. Final Assignment – Book Cover Re-design. Instructor: Tanja Huber

I attended the typography course of the bachelor programm of communication design during my master studies at the University of Design Schwaebisch Gmuend.

The final assignment was the re-design of a book cover in a factual/functional (1) and illustrative (2) style. I chose the book “Laut und Luise” from Ernst Jandl. In tanslation the title means “loud and quiet” but the word quit is spelled wrong on purpose and becomes a German name. The book is about language and the wrong use of syntax and it is a very famous work. Ernst Jandl was an amazing writer, poet and artist. Read about him here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernst_Jandl

HfG Schwäbisch Gmünd,Typography, Spring 2008. Instructor: Tanja Huber

Because I came to design school without prior studies in design, I took the typography course of the BA program Communication Design during the first term of my masters. We learned typographical basics and made use of those in several projects.

This course was an incredibly helpful introduction to design and typography.
