The Tone Of Typography: A Visual Communication Guide
Typography is one of the cornerstones of design and user experience. It’s a powerful tool to communicate what your design and product is all about. If you learn how to intentionally communicate with typography, you’ll be able to deliver better user experiences and take your designs to the next level.
In this Master Class webinar, Mia Cinelli will talk about how to communicate with typography in your products and experiences and will teach you how to use visual inflection while considering how context influences typographic meaning.
You’ll learn:
- What visual inflection is and why it matters.
- How meaning can be made and interpreted visually.
- How to use visual design principles to communicate meaning.
- How to apply gestalt principles to typography.
- How to be more intentional with your type decisions.
Join this Master Class webinar to learn how to communicate effectively with typography and improve your work as a UX or UI designer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why aren’t the Master Class webinars free of cost for members?
While the Master Class webinars aren’t free, they are open to both members and non-members of Interaction Design Foundation. While non-members pay $50 per webinar, members pay only $5. We charge this nominal fee to cover a few costs associated with producing the webinars, including:
The cost of using Zoom as our webinar partner. Zoom is one of the most reliable webinar hosting platforms, but it’s also one of the most expensive. We chose quality over affordability to bring you a better viewing experience, and the nominal fee we charge helps us cover these costs, without making the webinars expensive.
Along with the cost of Zoom, we also cover webinar costs associated with servers, payment gateways and code maintenance. In fact, 40 cents off every dollar in a transaction goes towards just the payment gateway alone!
Charging this small fee goes a long way in helping us cover these costs and enables us to continue to bring you high-quality content with the best experts.

I’m a member, but I cannot see all the Master Classes I purchased on my profile. How can I find the ones that are missing?
After each Master Class broadcast, our video editors painstakingly edit, improve and enhance the quality of these recordings to give you a better experience—but this process takes time, and that’s why there’s sometimes a delay in making them available within your profile.
Until recent Master Class recordings appear in your profile, you can always playback any of the Master Classes you’ve purchased using the Zoom recording links you received after the broadcast. Can’t find these recording links? Then please email mads.soegaard@interaction-design.org for assistance.
