Dylan Griffith: Scale and Reach …
Dylan Griffith’s presentation actually took the form of an interview conducted by Adrian Shaughnessy, who tried to get an understanding of how and why Dylan got to where he is today both as Creative consultant for the MTV World Design Studio in Milan and also co-owner of a branding company called Smorgasbord.
Lawrence Weiner: An Artist To The Core
Lawrence Weiner spent most of his presentation talking about his life and work and also how he didn’t understand why he had been asked to attend the conference. He showed only a 5 minute silent film saying he was too intimidated by the presentations he had seen on Thursday to attempt his own. He is an artist to the core but is in awe of the work of some of the other speakers and once had the revelation “I can be friends with designers”.
Gary Hustwit: Urbanized
I seem to walk into Gary Hustwit’s presentation at exactly the right time just as he is beginning to talk about his latest film Urbanized. When Lynda Relph Knight questions him at the end of the presentation about his varied subject choices for each of his films Helvetica (typeface), Objectified (objects) and now Urbanized (urban spaces), he responds by saying that he makes films about things he is interested in and nobody can deny that! Every project which he discusses from the film seems to fill him with curiosity and awe and hope for the future.
Michael Bierut: The Creative Lexicon
As far as my limited searches have taken me, I believe that yesterday’s conference introduced two new terms into the already considerable lexicon of creativity and typography. I think it is right to take a few moments to place the terms and their loose definitions before the delegates for consideration and adoption. Two new entries in the creative lexicon. For your consideration.
Antony Harrington: London Typographica
Antony Harrington from OPX is a designer who has always had a huge interest in typography, as a 7 year old he would make images using his father’s Univers 57 Letraset and when he was older would use his mother’s typewriter running the ribbon dry, however he makes a “confession” that he is not a type designer.
Michael B. Johnson: Pain Is Temporary, Suck Is Forever
I think the word Pixar invokes excitement and awe from most people who hear it so needless to say I was excited to hear Dr. Michael B. Johnson of Pixar talking today at TYPO London. And boy, was he given an introduction by Erik Spiekermann.
Antony Harrington: London Typographica
Antony Harrington took on a tough challenge. In an hour, he set himself the goal of presenting the highlights of a typographic history of London, alongside the semi-launch of a new initiative: London Typographica.
Gary Hustwit
removed a painting from Eriks wall during the shooting of Helvetica. Trouble ensued.
Gary Hustwitt: We built this City
Gary Hustwitt loves Graphic Designer. So much so that he decided to make a film about it. Despite never picking up a camera before ‘Helvetica’ marked his directorial debut, and his fascination with typography was brought to life. 4 years and another film, ‘Objectified’ later, Hustwitt treated the TYPO Audience to a sneak peak of his new offering, ‘Urbanized’, and they weren’t disappointed. As with his previous offerings the succinct title nods towards the subject matter, cities and buildings, though instead of form it focusses on the people that live within cities, and the strong sense of community spirit that takes shape in many forms.
