Leading Ladies ahead

One of the highlights of the second TYPO London conference will be Paula Scher. A Pentagram partner since 1991, Scher’s landmark identity for The Public Theater ‘fused high and low into a wholly new symbology for cultural institutions, and her recent architectural collaborations have re-imagined the urban landscape as a dynamic environment of dimensional graphic design’ (AIGA).
