Abstract:

With the declaration of the pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic has been rapidly affecting all over the world. The pandemic, which affects every field, has affected every sector from the first moments, as well as the field of education. The world has entered into a new understanding of education by rapidly adding formal education areas to the institutions providing distance education. In addition to the theoretical courses, the practical courses of the Faculties of Art and Design have gained a different dimension. With the use of technological tools and the activities offered by digital platforms, many traditional methods have left their place to the technological and virtual environment. In this context, the methods and scales developed for each course have continued to improve every day by taking advantage of the opportunities of technology. Typography is used to correctly arrange the letters in the printing material for a specific purpose, distribute the spacing and control the writing, and help the reader to understand the text in the best way. Typography is used as an effective method for a convenient and aesthetic finish. In this research, the adaptation problem in the workshop courses of applied courses in the process of transitioning to distance education was examined. The learning processes of the typography course taken during two semesters in graphic design and communication design departments, depending on the understanding, comprehension and application of the students in the workshop and studio applications, were examined.
