About this course

Typography is more than choosing fonts—it’s about giving words personality and structure. In this course, you’ll explore how type conveys mood, hierarchy, and meaning, and how thoughtful layouts guide the eye through content. Working in Adobe Illustrator, you’ll experiment with type tools, grids, and alignment to create designs that feel intentional and expressive. Each module builds your skills step-by-step—from understanding typographic basics to composing complete layouts that balance type, image, and space. You’ll leave the course with the confidence to design visual compositions where words and visuals work seamlessly together, communicating clearly and beautifully across any medium.
