Function and expression: student typographic work in English and Indian languages.

By Cranford, Christine
Publication: Technical Communication
Date: Sunday, February 1 2004

M. Scotford. 2003. Visible language 37, no. 2:124-145.

"Teaching typography in a cross-cultural setting poses particular conceptual and visual problems. Using a recipe as the content for a typographic assignment while teaching in India, the author explores typographic approaches that

include functional, expressive and integrated perspectives in English, Hindi, Kannada, Marathi and to a lesser extent Malayalam and Tamil and various combinations of language. This experience is documented through illustrations and commentary on the student solutions."
