Every new client and new project is a risk.
You’ve probably experienced, or at least heard, some of the horror stories. “The client ghosted me and I haven't been paid.” “We agreed on three revisions, but they wanted more.” “I quoted them 12 pages for the site, but the scope kept growing.”
At some point, you’re going to get burned.
It happens to the best of us. And while it does tug on your spirit, there’s not much you can do about unpredictability. But you can at least be prepared for whatever may come, and set yourself up for success.
You’re a professional. Act like it.
If you enter a new client relationship prepared, not only will you be setting the terms of the engagement, but you let the client know that you take their business seriously.
The Legal Kit includes agreements that are template versions of what we use for our business here in the US, and they are applicable internationally. If you're unsure, consider having a lawyer check them out as well.

Take a deep dive into all things type
In each video lesson, Chris will teach you about typographic principles, the history of type, and how to apply the fundamentals across your design work.
Stretch and flex your design muscles
Practice what you've learned in the video lectures to push your skills further. Do the homework as many times as you need to fully grasp the material.
Watch Chris work
See how Chris makes improvements to previous students’ work using typographic principles. Then, take notes of how you can apply these same techniques to your own work.
Watch your skills develop
See your designs take on a whole new shape and meaning as you move through the course. Start to feel comfortable and confident with typography.
Get access to the community
Your enrollment includes access to our private Slack channel and an invitation to Circle. Connect and keep learning with your instructor, Chris Do, and Typography students around the world.
This course is for any designer looking to understand type to improve their layout and design skills.
I learned more about typography in this course than during my BA in graphic design. This gives me confidence that I can make effective layouts and better design of any kind. I also felt I was part of a community, who learned together. Once a week for seven weeks, Chris critiqued our submitted layouts and this motivated us to put knowledge into practice and submit our work. This course is the best investment I've made in myself in becoming a better graphic designer. And I've invested in a lot of courses and books.
