Fantastatour-Documentation-Extract
For my Diploma-Work „Fantastatour – A trip for kids to the exciting world of type“ I had been facing up to the possiblities of early typografic education and the development of media competencies on primary school children.
After an intensive research about the history of writing and how children learn to read an write today I developed a school book for children from 9 years with a selfwritten story where typographic characters become alive. Additionally I developed an interface for a writing software for typography beginners and amateurs. The key object is a new and easier way to choose a specific font for a given task by navigating through the temperaments of typefaces and not through formal details.
Screen Versions of the Book (extract) and the documentation of the work can be requested via email.
