Fast einfacher ist es, aufzuzählen wo er noch nicht unterrichtet, gesprochen oder beraten hat und welche Auszeichnungen ihm noch bevorstehen. Wir freuen uns, Andy Altmann, Gründer von Why Not Associates, auf der TYPO Berlin 2012 zu begrüßen.
Wir suchen heute nach Möglichkeiten, Daten dauerhaft zu speichern, dabei Platz und Geld zu sparen und die Umwelt zu schonen. CDs werden von digitalen Speichermedien verdrängt. Das Internet gehört zu unserem Alltag. Das war nicht immer so. Mitte der 90ger nutzten wir Disketten und CDs als Speichermedien, das Internet war für viele Neuland und die Arbeitsweise vollkommen anders.
Neville Brody of Research Studios is no stranger to the international design scene. Join us at TYPO San Francisco to hear his insights!
We are excited to have eclectic designer Morag Myerscough of London’s Supergroup speak at TYPO San Francisco.
First time in the Jeffery Hall for us for some proper type talk. And there is not just Bruno but a whole group of speakers introducing us to Ubuntu, Nokia, Aktiv Grotesk and Boticario. Even more refreshing is that Nokia is presented and explained into greatest detail by the client himself.
There can be no hope of translating Tim Fendley’s talk about his work on Legible London into a neatly structured review. Such a colossal undertaking (the project, not the review) demands more space and time than can be afforded here.
Morag Myerscough is one of a kind, her talk was as colourful as her work as was her outfit. In contrast to Jeff Faulkner’s talk it was about the user experience in the physical space. I found it very inspiring, uplifting and easy to relate to due to her enthusiastic and personal presentation.
Friday closed with words from a design anarchist, Neville Brody. Few designers have divided opinion like Brody, but then fewer can claim his status, widely regarded as one of Britains most influential graphic designers. He walked the audience through numerous projects, both commercial and personal, but spent most time reminiscing about Fuse, the publication he founded in 1991, and 20 years later he is about to publish it’s 20th (and final) edition.
Andrew Stevens from the Graphic Thought Facility is introduced by Simone Wolf. She quotes Andrew as saying that commercial doesn’t exist on one side and creativity on the other, it is a framework where they work together.
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.
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.
