Typography Fundamentals with Ilene Strizver

I gained a lot of new insights and now see fonts in a completely different way than before.

Very good, am an amateur and felt it really gave me a good grounding.

This was a very informative course. I liked how it was structured and the explanations that were given. I learned a lot and I started to look at fonts in a much different way than I used to.

just getting into graphic design, I became enticed with typography, I saw this class and bundled with her other class, thoroughly enjoyed this, she is a good speaker, yes I would recommend.

I totally reccommend it.

As a photographer, it's important to me to have the online presence and marketing materials that represent my brand. Surprisingly to myself, one of the biggest struggles has been picking fonts that would work well together and create the mood I'm looking for. I am so grateful for this course. It's very well organized and in depth. You don't know what you don't know until you start looking, I'm only a couple lessons in, and feeling way more confident and clear on what may or may not work for me.

Excellent overview with lots of information. I've worked with type for 30+ years, but I still learned a few things.

The great explanation of typography. A lot of valuable information in every lecture. Love it!

Loved this class. Instructor is a clearly a seasoned expert who presents the information in a clear and interesting way. She covers a lot of info that is above and beyond a typical Type 101 intro course. Glad I invested the time in this class.

I loved this class. Ilene is clearly really experienced in typography and design, as well as being a fun teacher. Highly recommend this class.

This course is packed full of the answers to questions I've had at the back of my mind for a long time. Ilene teaches with great clarity, her material is well organised, and she teaches at a good pace - with a bit of humor to lighten it up. I found it really useful.

Taking this course earlier today I realised how little I knew about type. I know have a massive passion for it due to Ilene's thorough and enjoyable teaching. Ilene, I'm still practicing what I learned. Typing this comment I've had to go back and remove my double spacing after the full stops. Yes, I'm from the typewriter era :) I can recommend this course for absolutely anyone with a business. Even if you think your business materials are professional right now, changes are they aren't. Ilene is an awesome resource.

i love typeography!!!

This was a fantastic course. I took two years of typography in school a few years ago. This refreshed my passion for type.

This course taught me very well about Typography. I knew almost nothing before taking it (I barely understood then the difference between Serif and Sans-Serif...). And now, I feel that I really understand a lot. It is a very good starter to learn when, how and why to use type. Plus, Ilene is a great teacher with a big sense of humor and a lot of experience in Typography. A must have for everyone who want to understand something about types and fonts.

Ilene's courses on Typography are jam-packed with excellent information that will elevate the quality of your work in print. She knows what's current, but also what's important in long-time standards, and why. Just an incredible amount of information! you will enjoy watching, but you will want to purchase because of the sheer amount of useful content.

This was a very informative class. Even though I had to leave at lunchtime, I came back to finish the rebroadcast. After the exercise I now have a new appreciation for font/typography that reminds me of how I cannot see just a green leaf in one color after painting them. Can't wait for tomorrow's course to continue. Thanks a ton Ilene!

Really loved this class Ilene! So packed with information, your anecdotes helped to make the rules more memorable. Your look back at the early days of graphics, and the tools we used, reminded me how thankful I am for the improvements that have been made. I had no idea how to use the alternate characters, or that there were so many options available with open fonts. What a revelation! Thanks CreativeLive for making this available!

Great course. Very useful to get the fundamentals right and know why some typography looks good.
