The volunteer application for TYPO SF Focus is now open!
Focus permeates the designer’s everyday world – from specializing in one specific area or discipline, concentrating on getting that client project done on deadline, or zooming in on the pixels of your typeface. Within the industry, shift in focus are constant. Does a designer choose to learn web, print, mobile or be a jack-of-all-trades? Does a graphic designer take on type design? Should a visual artist delve into UX? Do type foundries dedicate more attention to webfonts? By focusing on “Focus,” TYPO San Francisco will bring together a diverse slate of international and local speakers to explore this theme through a creative’s lens.
Focus your sights on San Francisco on April 30-May 1, 2015.
TYPO San Francisco will return to Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in 2015. The conference will take place April 30-May 1. More details coming soon.
Mark your calendars!
