The Children's Code Design Guidance

We started today's class discussing the Children's Code Design Guidance as laid out by ICO. In short, we learned that:

• we need to ensure we apply safeguarding standards for children when we create online content for them
• we need to understand how GDPR laws apply when we are handling children's data

I've embedded the video with the guidance for future reference, in case I decide to create something children-oriented for any of my projects:

Willi Kunz

Willi Kunz apprenticed as a typesetter, then went on to introduce a postmodernist take on typesetting.

Methodical and precise, Kunz describes his design process as:

“Developing authentic and original ideas demands careful observation of, and response to, technological, social, and environmental changes. It also requires independent thinking that is attuned to evolving attitudes and fresh experiences rather than cursory glances through history books and design annuals.”

Jan Tschichold

Jan Tschichold was a German calligrapher, typographer and book designer. He played a significant role in the development of graphic design in the 20th century – first, by developing and promoting principles of typographic modernism, and subsequently idealizing conservative typographic structures. Tschichold liked to look at unconventional type alignment and explored different ways of creating structured images using only type.
