We started TYPO Berlin 2015 with the 42. Creative Mornings talk. This month’s speaker was Prof. Manfred Hild, who is Professor of Digital Systems at the Beuth University of Applied Sciences in Berlin. He presented his work on the humanoid robot Myon.
Am Rande der TYPO veranstalten wir unseren 42. CreativeMorning (Donnerstag, 21. Mai, 9 Uhr). Mit über 300 Teilnehmern wird es der bisher größte.
/// As a TYPO sidebar, we’re mounting our 42nd Creative Morning (Thursday, May 21, 9 a.m.). With more than 300 participants, it will be our biggest yet.
Karin von Ompteda explores type – and she is an expert on designing typefaces for the visually impaired. Karin is currently researching for a PhD at the Royal College of Art in London, where her work is focused on integrating scientific and design approaches to typeface legibility. When she changed to art school after two biology degrees in her home country of Canada, she followed her heart. However her approach to type, its shapes and structures has roots in her biological background.
Mit den Worten: „Wenn Sie jetzt nicht mit Dutzenden Fragezeichen im Kopf den Raum verlassen, habe ich versagt!“, beschloss Jörg Becker seinen Vortrag. Becker unterrichtet unter anderem Typografie, Kreatives Handeln und Visuelle Rhetorik an der University of Illinois in Chicago. Gut 40 Minuten dauerte der Zitatehagel, 40 Minuten geballte Inspiration, 40 Minuten, um die gängige Sicht auf kreative Prozesse völlig auf den Kopf zu stellen.
