Hi guys, I'm looking to learn typography through video or audio lessons.
I googled it and except a few short youtubes I found nothing helpful, so any direction pointing will be helpful.
There are many tubies with typographic content. However, these are all more or less experimental exercises, not tutorial ones, I gather.
What is it exactly what you’d like to learn? To design brochures or books? Websites? Shopfronts … ??
I am not aware of any video tutorials covering this.
Maybe, for the first step, you stick to more conventional means and consider going to a library … or a course.
However, as it happens I did a short video on lettering just recently. If that is of any interest to you.
I just plugged this site in another discussion, but I'll do it again here -- Lynda.com has about 1,500 professionally-made video tutorials on design topics. I did a quick search for typography courses and found several, including a 7-hour video course on "Choosing and Using Web Fonts", a 6.5 hour video course on "Typography for Web Designers", and a number of tutorials on using type in specific applications, such as InDesign, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Illustrator, and so forth.
The site is mainly focused on "how-to" videos; I don't think they have much in the way of type history or theory, although perhaps they do and I just overlooked them.
You have to pay a monthly fee to access their videos, but they do have some free samples, and a Google search will often turn up a discount code for a free month or at least a discount.
