Pünktlich zum Jahreswechsel nehmen wir wieder unsere kleine Interviewreihe mit Sprechern der kommenden TYPO Berlin auf. Den Start macht Grafikdesigner und Art Director Johannes Erler, der als Gastkurator mit einer Gruppe von Gleichgesinnten das Programm eines ganzen Tages auf der TYPO Show-Bühne gestalten wird. Das Motto: »Strictly no design!«
Erik Kessels is a true creative beyond the scope of categories. The passionate Dutchman is intrigued by the odds and absurdities of everyday life and knows well, how to turn them into catchy campaigns and successful publishing projects. At TYPO 2015 he takes his viewers on a joyful journey to the world’s worst hotel and weirdest photo albums.
Futuristisch versaut, voll verstrahlt und dabei äußerst charmant.
Der junge Art Director Kenzi Benabdallah begeistert – angenehm unaufgeregt, mit engagierten Projekten und klugen Ideen. Auf der TYPO 2015 zeigt er das Lettering Projekt HARAM TYPE und die Social-Awareness-Kampagne #FUKUSHIMAWATER.
From touring musician on MCA/Universal Records, Design Director for President Obama’s 2012 campaign, to Creative Director of Facebook’s Communication Design team, it feels like Josh Higgins has lived a lot of lives. Taking us through the course of his career, he touched on the moments that led to each of these experiences, what he’s learned along the way and “what the f*ck he does at Facebook”.
Groß ist die Menge an Arbeiten, die die Studierenden und Professoren der Strzeminski Academy of Fine Arts präsentieren. Und groß ist ihre Freude, dass ihnen auf der TYPO-Stage eine Plattform geboten wurde, um über die Geschichte, die aktuellen polnischen Designtrends und die inspirierende Arbeitsweise an ihrer Akademie sprechen zu dürfen.
Showcasing his agency’s colorful work in graphic design, branding, and animated type, Daniel Gjøde reminds us that sometimes, the smartest thing we can do is to stay stupid.
Mark Simonson reminisces about offset lithography, gives us a glimpse of his mischievous past and shares the value of making things without computer.
Erik Kessels takes us through the defining stations of his career, starting with his first paid gig as a creative for the infamous Hans Brinker Bugdet Hotels in Amsterdam.
„Viel mehr als einfach nur ein Vortrag“ ist der Titel eines Vortrags über einen Kunden, eine Agentur und einen Grill. Und ein bisschen auch über die Erschaffung der Welt. Zumindest mal die Welt von Weber Grill.
All the way from Brooklyn, Deanna Paquette, Digital Director, and Philippe Intraligi, Creative Director at Shutterstock, shared insights about working as in-house designers in such a big organisation.

Emmet Byrne is the design director for the Walker Arts Center in Minneapolis. He had a great lecture about the work from their in-house design studio and how the different content streams of publishing work in parallel with other departments. His lecture was greatly focused on the framing of content and how it can be lost control of when it enters the world. Loosing control of a project when given to the public raised some new and interesting questions for the institution.
