Abstract:
Studien syftar till att undersöka om det finns ett typografiskt klassificeringssystem som skulle kunna fungera som standard att lära ut i svensk designutbildning. Med hjälp av åsikter från aktiva inom typografi- och undervisningsbranschen värderas de mest kända systemen för att det mest lämpliga att använda som standard i svensk designutbildning därefter utses. Detta resulterade i en lätt reviderad version av det befintliga klassificeringssystemet ”Vox AtypI”.

I believe that spoken and written languages are verbal and visual expressions of cultures. Language is used to convey and sustain values and the belief system of people. Arabic is a language of complexity and formal beauty that is being disregarded and pushed away by its own native speakers. It is losing its value in the Arab world. In other words it is dying. Both the written and spoken language is being affected.

This thesis examines the structural challenges when designing in two different alphabet systems, Roman and Hangul (Korean alphabet). English being the universal language, it is common to see this pairing in various design solutions, from packaging to posters to websites. However, Korean communication design has a very short history and for that reason, it adopted prevailing western guidelines. Under the western guidelines, Korean designers face challenges when designing text because the guidelines are not entirely fitting for the Korean alphabet. Therefore, Korean communication design needs st

Abstract:
Modern design communication fails to engage our tactile senses. In an age where the majority of messages are delivered digitally, this preferences our eyes and ears over the remaining senses and as a result, the touch or ‘tactile’ senses are being neglected. Imagine a child born into a digital world where they no longer get to touch the ‘real thing’. What happens to us when there is no longer a stored memory of textures? As a child, touching rough, smooth and a variety of different textures to discover what they ‘feel’ like is essential to developing an understanding of our world (Elgin 1997).

Graphic design is historically a visual language consisting of text and image composed for the purposes of sending messages in print format. The voice of graphic design is typography—structuring and arranging letter forms into visual language.

My intention, however, is to explore how performance can influence typography in two and three dimensions, and even in digital environments.

Since the 1980s, two paradigms have dominated the representation of formatted electronic documents: flowable and fixed. Flowable formats, such as HTML, EPUB, or those used by word processors, allow documents to scale to any arbitrary page size, but typographical compromises must be made since the layout is computed in real time, and is re-computed each time the document is displayed. Conversely, fixed formats such as SVG or PDF are afforded the potential for arbitrarily complex typography, but are constrained to the fixed layout that is set at the time of creation.
