  • I’ve recently published my fourth book and I’ve begun to notice the importance of typography. I’m glad I’ve discovered this course with Martin, with this course under my belt, I’ve learnt more about typography. He delivers the course with clarity and conciseness. I recommend it for those with typographical aspirations beyond Times New Roman.

Learn to work as a professional with Type in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign! Working with type in Graphic Design is essential. Visual communication relies mainly on the combination of images and text. In a good design typography is an integral part of the whole composition, in many cases the whole design is some kind of creative use of type. In this course we are going to learn to work as a professional with type in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. We are going to learn a bit about typography theory but we will mainly focus on practical things like how to deal with fonts, how to organise them on your computer, how to use the type tool as a professional, how to format your type efficiently using keyboard shortcuts and so much more. Join me on this course and learn how to work with type quickly and easily.
