Member Gun… Posted May 8, 2011 Author Share Posted May 8, 2011 any specific suggestion? Link to comment
Member Chr… Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 eliason’s link is a good place to start. I don’t know a lot about typeface design programs. I focus on how typography influences human performance such as reading comprehension. Before you decide where you want to spend your time and money, you really need to focus on your area of interest. Letterforms, history, technology, human performance… Who would you like to employ you, and for what, when you are complete? Answer these questions and your choice will present itself. Link to comment

Member Chr… Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 If you wish to enter into academia, and be taken seriously, I suggest you work on your capitalization, punctuation and limit your use of slang when speaking publicly. Link to comment
Member hra… Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 > Build a typography school in Indonesia Awesome. And/but what Christopher said. hhp Link to comment
Member Tho… Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 If you want to go into academia, you could also look at the PhD program at Reading. Generally speaking a PhD is a major edge in academic circles. Cheers, T Link to comment
Member Gun… Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 @dean, sorry with my language. It just... umm.. School in Indonesia teach more US English than British English (and people more like to practice US Slang English, because its more popular and slang) @hrant: People always talk that we must make the highest goal in this life. So i do :) and i wish that will be come true @thomas: thanks, cheers :) Link to comment
Member Chr… Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 @Gunarta: If you are interested in starting a school, then you will require many skills. Sadly, the top of the list will most likely be business, management, and administration. Next, you will require knowledge of pedagogy (in an educational context). Rhetoric and semiotics can’t hurt either. THEN, you can start focusing on subject matter. You need to ask yourself what do you want your school to teach? And you can’t answer “typography.” That’s about as broad as saying “art” which could mean: painting drawing film photography sculpture wood working metal working foundry jewelry holloware textiles fashion sculpture pottery stone working print making screen printing interactive media performance installation interpretive dance history… Start small. If you were to teach just one course at someone else’s school, what would it be? Link to comment
