Interview with Erik Kessels (Part 1)
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.
Hans-Jürgen Herr und Holger Schmidhuber: Viel mehr als einfach nur ein Vortrag
„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.
Deanna Paquette, Philippe Intraligi: The power of in-house design teams
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.
Josh Higgins – Designing Obama
His first exposure to using design for a cause was a poster in 2005 created for The Hurricane Poster Project, a fundraiser for victims of Hurricane Katrina. It made a couple thousand dollars, which was at the time more than he could have contributed from his own pocket. That’s when the potential for design to help the world dawned on him. Working closely with Leif Steiner, the creator the the Hurricane Poster Project, Higgins went on to create a similar projects benefiting San Diego after the fire and more notably Haiti after the devastating earthquake in 2010.
Emmet Byrne :: Oblique Content Strategies
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.
Introducing charm into charmless categories – Simon Manchipp
“♫ Keep a rattlesnake as pet… Sell both the kidneys on the internet… Dumb ways to die, so many dumb ways to die… ♫”
Florian Kaps: The impossible instant photo
Florian Kaps talks about a phenomenon that we’ve forgotten for a long time: the Polaroid. For him, the adventure began few years back, when he found one at a fleamarket.
Erik Kessels: Strong Ideas Allow You To Blur
Erik Kessels’ lecture was incredibly visual, incredibly entertaining, and showed us how to blur the lines between the contrasts that occur daily in the design industry. “Strong ideas allow you to blur.” Starting with a strong idea allows you to cross over into different disciplines. To support this point we had the pleasure of seeing some slides of Erik’s projects including: His print work for various ad campaigns, 3-D type created to promote the city of Amsterdam, commercials, and even art exhibits curated by Erik.
Contrast Conversations with Nick Shinn
Nick Shinn, R.G.D. was born in London, England in 1952, educated at Bedford, and acquired a Dip.AD in Fine Art (1974) from Leeds Polytechnic. He lived in Toronto, Canada from 1976 to 2009, then moved 60 km north to Orangeville. In the ’80s he worked as an advertising art director and creative director, before going digital in 1989 with the ShinnDesign studio, specializing in publication and marketing design.

He has written for Applied Arts, Druk, Eye, Graphic Exchange, Marketing, Typographic and Codex, spoken at the ATypI, TypeCon, Graphika and TYPO Berlin conferences, and taught at Humber College and York University in Toronto.
Mike Monteiro: What Clients Don’t Know (And Why It’s Your Fault)
When Mike Monteiro and Erika Hall cofounded Mule Design, neither of them knew anything about the business of design — that is, how to sell it to and deal with clients. They made plenty of mistakes, so he’d like to tell you a few things to avoid in your career as a professional designer.
“Swiss Miss” Tina Roth Eisenberg on Eccentric Aunts and Side Projects!
“Swiss Miss” Tina Roth Eisenberg began our first TYPO SF conference today with a talk on “The Power of Side Projects and Eccentric Aunts”. Tina’s own eccentric aunt was a designer who introduced her to the very idea that this thing called design was something that one could do for a living. The swiss miss passed down her own sage advice to the full auditorium with a list of 8 principles.
