Comment:
I took Jean's Type I class as a non-major elective. She really makes you work but it's all worth it in the end. Lots of line practices every week.

Comment:
best class for enjoying letterforms because she makes you draw and investigate them. she's very critical of little things but that's b/c type is all about little things. you will be able to get away with anything as long as you can explain it. classes are usually crits, then work. projects are creative.

I'm currently enrolled in her type 1 class and it's the only time that I feel like I'm learning anything is when I'm working on her assignments. She is the reason that Graphic Design has a future for me.

your hands on experimental type class. this is the teacher you want for type 1. funny, and ridiculously smooth. demands a lot of work, but she's supportive and helpful. she will train you very well.

I had her for foundations. She didn't seem too enthused about the class, but I guess I learned from it. Her assignments were pretty generic, but we had good critiques.
