Am Nachmittag berichtet Andrea Tinnes (typecuts.com) über das Abschneiden alter Zöpfe für die grafische Neuausrichtung einer Kunsthochschule und Rolf Mehnert (Fuenfwerken) öffnet seinen Werkzeugkoffer zur Kundenzähmung.
Agenturchef Rolf Mehnert verät, wie er eine Bank »locker machte«, um gemeinsam eine überraschende und authentische Corporate Identity zu entwickeln
Die Themen der TYPO-Day-Referate behandeln die aktuellen Entwicklungen im Print-, Web- und App-Design. Dabei stehen die konsistente typografische Ausstattung der Unternehmens-Kommunikationskanäle ebenso auf der Tagesordnung wie neue Entwicklungen auf dem Gebiet der digitalen Schriftdarstellung.
TYPO Day vermittelt den letzten Stand über die Bedeutung von Typografie in Apps und das Zusammenspiel mit Webinhalten. Und wir blicken über den Tellerrand auf die Voraussetzung für den Erfolg durch das positive Verhältnis von Designer und Auftraggeber, um schnell ein bestmögliches Ergebnis zu erzielen.
Das Kompaktseminar wendet sich an beide Seiten des Corporate Designs, den Auftraggeber, der sein Erscheinungsbild verändern möchte, und den Auftragnehmer, den ausführenden Designer.
