    Type & Media is a full-time one year postgraduate course that gives participants the possibility of developing deeper in type design for different media: not only type for print, but also for film, television, video and the interactive media. The many facets of type design in relation to typography for the different media are covered in various assignments, both practical and theoretical. Discussions with a number of leading graphic designers with different views provide the students theoretical depth. Besides type design, typographic design and detail typography, there are activities focused on typography for screen and television, newspaper typography, lettering and instruction in specialized software programs and digitizing. At that moment the professors were: Françoise Berserik, Peter Bil’ak, Frank Blokland, Erik van Blokland, Petr van Blokland, Paul van der Laan, Frans van Mourik, Just van Rossum, Fred Smeijers, Peter Verheul and Jan Willem Stas.

    Por abrir un camino en el mundo tipográfico en España. Cuando el universo digital era casi un sueño allá en los 90, Laura apostó por seguir esa vía y a día de hoy se ha convertido en un referente en el diseño digital de tipos. Desde entonces, su dimensión como tipógrafa y la calidad de su trabajo ha crecido contando con un amplio reconocimiento nacional e internacional. Es, además, una de las figuras que más ha contribuido en la difusión de la cultura tipográfica en España, ya sea a través de su participación en numerosos congresos y eventos tipográficos o como docente en las escuelas de diseño más importantes del país. Laura es toda una erudita en tipografía, una asignatura que la mayoría de los diseñadores profesionales españoles aún no han aprobado.
