Eva-Lotta Lamm’s “TYPO Sketchnotes” from this year’s Berlin conference, turned out to be the most engaging documentation of a TYPO conference yet, as born out by the frequency of tweets and blogs referring to her work.
Congratulations to Ollie Winser our contest winner of week 4 (see all entries of contest week 4 here).
Following a longstanding request by TYPO regulars to see a client and their designer on stage together talking about a joint project, German student Julian Zimmermann and African King Cephas Bansah were invited to TYPO Berlin in 2010 to present their cooperation. And what a memorable session it turned out to be! The extremely professional keynote, combined with the natural charm of the two speakers, literally brought many delegates to tears and garnered spontaneous standing ovations.
Congratulations to Mazdak Ashkan our contest winner of week 3 (see all entries of contest week 3 here). He has won one TYPO London ticket, as his photo was drawn by our random generator from 45 entries. Reconnect with your inner child – produce and spot more funny signs!
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.
