“A fantastic, creative, steroid shot to anyone's career. Inspiring and challenging while allowing me to explore ideas and thinking in ways I may have forgotten or have never spent enough time on previously.”
“I took the typography course at the RCA at a time of professional uncertainty and it really helped inspire me and get me moving in the right direction. Expect a really encouraging environment, tutors who are highly experienced and who provide amazing feedback and very inspiring course-mates. I learnt to be braver, to experiment more, to value my own work and added many references to my list of people and projects who inspire me.”
“The way Adrian, Can and Jack run the course is brilliant. Each of them guides the course with their experience and knowledge. The course is a very challenging one, but the experience of doing it is very worthwhile in every way. They definitely leave the door open to start experimenting and creating more about typography.”
“I had been feeling burnt out on design as a profession, but this course has completely re-energised me and given me a renewed passion. The course environment was fun and friendly but also facilitated serious discussions about typography and design. I'd recommend this course to anyone, be they beginner or experienced designers.”
“I thoroughly enjoyed this course, taught by Graphic Design royalty, we learned where contemporary practice is currently from the tutors and guests, as well as some advice and experience from the RCA archives. It taught me to step out of my comfort zone and freely experiment in a safe learning environment with students and tutors all with a shared love of typography.”
