Just two months to go until TYPO London kicks off! We would like to use the remaining time to introduce the speakers and their work. We sent all TYPO London 2011 speakers a questionnaire and got a whole bunch of interesting and charming feedback. Let’s start with… Joachim Sauter.
Congratulations to Kate McDonnell our contest winner of week 2 (see all entries of contest week 2 here). She can get excited over her one prize TYPO London ticket, as her picture was drawn by our random generator out of 82 entries. It seems that you need a good compass in Montreal, but what does this other sign indicate? No umbrellas?
Since its inception, multimedia design has been criticised for adopting print design approaches (see also earlier blog entry, Neville Brody, “Where’s the Beef?”, 1996).

In his much acclaimed speech 15 years ago Neville critically observered the transition from print design to multimedia design.
At every TYPO conference we set up a competition to enable people to win tickets to each event. For TYPO London “Places” we have thought of something truly special. The more observant among us are sometimes confronted with irritating signs that are actually meant to help us get around, but don’t! Giving us the strangest sense of “Place” you could imagine. Sometimes they are funny themselves, sometimes they are just plain odd due to their environment and surroundings.
Die erste Early-Bird-Phase für die TYPO London endet am 30.Juni 2011.
Don’t wait to book a ticket for TYPO London 2011!
Part of the team behind TYPO London, took to the stage at its big sister conference, TYPO Berlin 2011 “Shift”, late last month to formally announce the new TYPO conference and venue, “Places” 2011 at the Logan Hall, University of London, set for 20-22 October.
16 Jahre nach ihrer Premiere im Berliner Haus am Köllnischen Park verlässt die jährliche FontShop-Design-Konferenz in diesem Jahr zum ersten Mal ihren Geburtsort, um eine zweite Heimat zu finden. Vom 20. bis 22. Oktober findet in den Sälen der University of London (Logan Hall, Elvin Hall) die 1. TYPO London statt. Ihr Motto: Places.
There’s a moment in planning a conference when the team get together and brainstorm on the location, the dates, the theme and who would be a good speakers. Early on the process Michael Bierut’s name came up and everyone agreed that it would be great to ask him to speak. Then the plans for the conference came together and Michael’s name was always attached to the idea of TYPO London 2011 “Places”. Eventually the invites to speakers went out and it occurred to me that there was a possibility Michael could decline the invitation.
