The student can in a purposeful and systematic manner handle hyphenation and justification parametres and micro-typographic variables both with respect to context and genre.

The student can implement a design or redesign project of a journal while adhering to genre conventions, based on a contemporary and appealing visual language – while aiming at a high level of practical functionality, usability and informativity, and which combines a consistent visual identity with an appropriate level of visual differentiation from number to number and from volume to volume.
