Abstract

There are thousands of typefaces available. We often use them as designers, communicators, or just computer users. The use of typefaces has a specific significance for graphic designers. All typefaces are not proper for any purpose. To find the right one to speak the language of the message is a challenge for a graphic design student. Students try to explore typefaces, the basic elements of typography, with an enjoyable project in Computer Aided Typography course at Anadolu University Faculty of Fine Arts Graphic Design Department. This study is an individual action research involves working independently on an in-class project conducting by teacher with her students. In this paper, the process and results of the in-class typography project with the participation of 59 third-year students are discussed.
