Research into whether Typography Techniques are still relevant in digital design

Kate Pickworth · April 2017

HI I am a 20 year+ self taught graphic designer who is studying a Master of Design - as part of the course I am doing a research project on Typography and its relevance in website/digital design and was hopeful that some of you could spare 15 mins to fill in the following questionnaire by May 15, 2017.

Also if you have any advice as to good books/websites on digital typography that would be worth me investigating, would be really helpful also.
Thanks
Kate

Question 7: Hammer, saw, screwdriver, plane, drill, clamp, sandpaper

Which tool would you use to make furniture?

Hi Bianca, sounds perfect except I'm based in Melbourne Australia - thank you though

I gather you didn't like this one?? I am new to the whole world of typography, which is embarrassing to admit given I have been working in design for over 20 years! I have been doing more reading and getting some similar comments from others in the survey and now get that they all interlink and one affects the other - I was trying to get a quick answer/easy fix - I now realise that Typography doesn't work that way! Thanks for the laugh!
