Tables for Two Workshop

Organize chaotic information into easy-to-read tabs and tables. Nibble on methods for visual organization. Dine on tasty tabular figures and hierarchy. Indulge in our buffet of typography time-saving tips.

In this workshop, two main courses are served: organization and prioritization. You’ll learn how to whip up complex material, such as a dinner menu, into shape. By understanding scanning habits, you will be able to create a reading experience for a restaurant guest. 


This workshop will help you master small text, different types of emphasis, figures, columns, side bars, captions and footnotes. You’ll achieve high honors from your handling of gorgeous copy and numerals.

Students will learn how to design a system for speedy, efficient communication using alignment tools such as tabs and tables and hierarchical tips to increase legibility and readability. Registration fee includes refreshments and materials.
