Title: Story telling and Narrative through Typography
Abstract: This workshop aims to provide a good platform to conduct experiments with typography. Letterforms, sentences, lines of text and paragraphs can be creatively used in the context of story telling and narrative as an alternative approach to image and icon based story telling. One story will be given and all participants will be encouraged to move away from pictorial narration to typography based narration of the same story.
