Ligatures Web Type Workshop
Event Information
Description
Please join us for our first Web Type workshop, featuring with web type specimen designer & developer, Kenneth Ormandy. Kenneth is one of the co-founders of Vancouver's type meet-up group, Type Brigade.
This four-hour introduction to Web Type is perfect for those with a beginner / intermediate knowledge of HTML/CSS. Course will include:
- A look at type specimens on the web
- How to bring some elements of these typographic sites—dynamic scaling text, typographic SVGs and animations, OpenType features—into your own projects using CSS and JS
- A look at what might change in the near future with Variable Fonts arriving
We’ll build a project focused on web typography using some of these tools, which will leave you with some code samples you can bring into your own work right away, and a space to keep experimenting further.
Please note: attendees must bring their own laptop to the workshop.
Space is limited.
