Using real-life examples, the course Typography, Visual Composition, Layout given by IMM assistant professor Christian Schäfer in the two Bachelor courses of Music and Media as well as Audio and Video, discusses the principles of design.

These principles are internalised through practical and experimental work as well as in discussions about design. The goal is to improve the ability to assess design and the representation of ideas and requirements.

The students learn how and why music and design communicate with each other and how they complement each other in the best way. The use of typography, colour and images is applied in practical work using pieces of music chosen by the students themselves. Here is a small selection of the designs created during the 2010/11 winter term.
