海角社区

POCATELLO 鈥� The typography and layout class offered through the 海角社区 Department of Communication, Media and Persuasion has completed an unusual accomplishment this year by creating a new font that is unique to the 海角社区 College of Arts and Letters.

Never before has a specific font been made by students for a college at 海角社区. The College of Arts and Letters will be able to use their newly created font for personal use inside of their department. This typeface has been created from scratch by students with the help of Professor Paula Jull.

Throughout the process of creating a typeface for the College of Arts and Letters, the students were able to interview their clients. Kandi Turley-Ames, the dean of arts and letters, gave her opinion on the font and helped guide the students in the direction she believed best fit the college.

鈥淚t鈥檚 important to me to be able to have an identity so people know who we [College of Arts and Letters] are,鈥� Turley-Ames said.

Students and faculty both are excited about this new font that will hopefully be used in personal emails by Turley-Ames and used on notes the College of Arts and Letters send out.

Although everyone is excited about the typefaces these 海角社区 students have created, the partnership between the faculty and students is also being praised.

鈥淚t鈥檚 great to see unity happening between faculty and students as they build things together,鈥� Turley-Ames said.
This partnership has created new relationships and has given students the opportunity to create a font that illustrates the value of a liberal arts education.

鈥淭hese students are taking typefaces and putting meaning into them,鈥� Jull said.

The James E. Rogers Department of Communication, Media, and Persuasion is driven by a commitment to creativity, innovation, and relevance. Our strategically integrated curriculum, engaging coursework, and supportive instruction and feedback offer educational experiences that equip students for lifelong success.
