This course will focus on the temporal and sequential aspects of typography, image and sound. Though some of the principles studied in Typography I, II, and III will be reviewed, our explorations will primarily focus on the idea of the sequential organization of information in time and how ideas like pacing, rhythm and progression can influence and shape meaning in both a cognitive (reading, structuring) and interpretive manner.
