The course particularly builds on knowledge and skills acquired in the courses Typography I, II and III and Editorial design I.

The student shall acquire a deeper understanding of the field of editorial design and the structuring and design of large bulks of text, design for reading, design for navigation and hierarchical design, design for text scanning and design for integration of text and images/illustrations. Technical skills for the implementation of editorial design for paper and screens shall be further refined and honed.
