Case Study: Typography 2025

Selected participant work

“This course gives you the confidence to take risks, experiment, and play! It's a wonderful format that gently nudges you towards your own expression, while helping you develop stronger designs through a concept-driven approach.”

Jasamine Liu Senior Communication Designer at Ford

“The course offered a great combination of a diverse peer group, critical feedback / advice from 3 excellent tutors, and space to experiment for a month. The course dynamic encouraged me to try things I don’t know how to do and to persevere with ideas and attempts I might have abandoned in other circumstances. This really helped with my fear of failure and attendant procrastination!”

Cate Rickards Graphic Designer and Communications Manager at Reform Club

“As someone attending an international course for the first time, I was both nervous and excited — especially because English is not my first language. But thanks to the incredible support from Adrian, Jack, and Yunqi, I gained so much confidence. The course reshaped how I think about editorial design, I now approach projects with deeper research and more emotional expression. The diversity of classmates’ ideas also inspired me to explore beyond my comfort zone and become more reflective in my creative process.”

Yawen Yao Freelance Designer

“This course radically shifted how I view typography—not just as form, but as a living language that can move, provoke, and emotionally connect. I learned to trust the expressive potential of type, and was constantly inspired by the conceptual freedom encouraged throughout. The course helped me find a stronger, bolder voice in my practice, and made me realize how typography can shape visual culture in both subtle and striking ways.”
