GRPH 53A Basic Typography
GRPH 68 Design & Prepress Production Laboratory
GRPH 72A Operation Press Operations


Designed & Printed by the
Graphic Communications Department
City College of San Francisco

To Be The Right Type originated as a final design project in our GRPH 53A Beginning Typography. It was continued in GRPH 68 Design and Prepress Lab, where it was further edited and prepared for press, and finally printed in the GRPH 72 Offset Press Operations class. Several of the card designs will be published in Spring of 2006, in a book about typographic principles. This project is one example of the high quality of work produced by our students, and the kinds of collaborations encouraged in our program.

Material for this project was borrowed from, and inspired by, Rob Carter's Experimental Typography, RotoVision SA, 1997. Text from the book was reproduced for educational use only.
