ENGL 377

I’d like you to make some connections between the Helvetica film, the readings, and broader ideas about rhetoric and typography. What kind of rhetorical work does a particular font do (choose one and investigate)? What are the connections between font design, use, medium, and culture? Please hand in a two page Googledocs paper with references to the readings, film and any other outside sources.

Hi everyone,

I’ve created a class flickr group here:

http://www.flickr.com/groups/1424082@N22/

In class today we will add the group to our flickr profiles, search flickr for examples, and tag an image to share with the group. I’ll also share the PDF files for homework, as well as homework questions for next week. Best, Jim
