The Typographic Design workshop proposes to question and experiment with the morphology of a text and the architecture of the page in a physical or digital editorial context. The projects cross multiple cultural contexts such as music, cinema, literature, painting, … Each new textual content prompts an exploration of typography from a historical, cultural and formal angle. Analyzing and questioning what typography is today, the orientation invites the student to question its codes and applications, to relay content and to develop a critical and personal view.

The first year is organised in conjunction with the graphic design course.

Students tackle both the micro level (letters, symbols, character design) and the macro level (words, text, layout). Short, interconnected exercises, supported by documented presentations, enable students to acquire a solid foundation while developing their analytical skills. The first term is devoted to signs; the second to text in context.

BAC 2 & 3 In Bachelor 2 and 3, the workshop deepens editorial practice and encourages the affirmation of a personal approach. Each project involves reflection on typographic choices, format, grid, structure and materiality. The analysis of works and the study of composition rules enable students to understand their logic in order to better appropriate and transform them. Experimentation also extends to other media—installation, objects, textiles, projection, spatial design—in order to broaden the scope of typography. Gradually, students gain autonomy and develop projects rooted in their own interests, in dialogue with theoretical and practical courses, thus preparing them for the possibility of pursuing a Master's degree.
In Bachelor 2, the year is built around several exercises linked to each other. These question the sign, the typography, the layout and the layout and are introduced by documented presentations. The course considers research through analysis (observation of existing editions with the Competition of the Most Beautiful Swiss Books) and that of argumentation (questioning the contents and approaching the concepts of a dramaturgy). The workshop also tackles the question of communication and that of the installation of spoken books exhibited each year in the gallery of the erg. This exhibition is designed and produced in collaboration with the Bachelor 3 Typographic Design studio.

In Bachelor 3, the workshop proposes to experiment with the text in a mainly editorial context where all the components – typographic choice, format, grid, structure, materiality… – result from choices induced by a specific and singular bias. We will analyze books and learn the rules and uses of typographic composition in order to master them and be able to appropriate and reinterpret them. As time goes on, the exercises proposed will be more and more open so as to invite the student to explore themes and mediums resulting from his own interests and thus develop a look, a critical sense. This openness also offers the possibility of creating links with the various theoretical and practical courses preparing the student to acquire greater autonomy with a view to a possible Master's degree.
