The 10 Commandments of Typography [ MVA Vlog 099 ]

This episode is all about typography. Or maybe its all about learning typography and graphic design. MVA Studio co-founder Joshua Hardisty shares his rules for typography which are really about how to get good at typography, he takes an Instagram question about the pros and cons of copying as a learning strategy and then there's a long stretch pulled from an actual Typography Studio critique at Minneapolis College of Art & Design

Chapter 3: An Actual Type Studio critique 25:42
These posters were produced during a somewhat experimental process. The final crit would have been 2 weeks after this video was shot. This is a very realistic view of how I give feedback.
(My apologies for the terrible framing on this. I was super self-conscious about recording during class so the angles really suck.)
