Thank You, America! by Jan Wilker

Originally from South Germany from a little town with the world’s highest church, he watched the movie Coming to America there 25 years ago that intrigued him. Only difference is, the version he watched was in German in funny voices. Hakim displayed pride in handling garbage. It wasn’t “handling garbage” to him, but “handling American garbage”.

Stefan Kiefer: In the red frame

Working in any current affairs magazine means pressure. Creating highly creative cover concepts and art for a weekly magazine takes this to a pressure to an entirely different level. Weekends are always on standby, and you never know when the phone is going to ring with a last minute change to a headline or image. Today at TYPO, Stefan Kiefer takes through the past 12 years of highly creative and innovative work as cover art director of the SPIEGEL magazine.

Oliver Reichenstein: Design als Therapie

Als im März 2011 in Japan die Erde bebt, ist Oliver Reichenstein gerade damit beschäftigt, eine Wohnung für sich und seine Familie zu kaufen. Zu dem Zeitpunkt lebt er seit gut sieben Jahren in Tokio. Die allgemeine Verunsicherung, die Ungewissheit und die Angst vor den Folgen des Tsunamis veranlassen ihn und seine Familie wenige Monate später dazu, zurück in sein Heimatland – die Schweiz – zu ziehen. Welchen Einfluss Design in der nun folgenden Phase des Umbruchs, des Neuanfangs und auch der Erschöpfung auf sein Befinden hat, ist Thema des Vortrags von Oliver Reichenstein.

Heath Kessler

Heath Kessler The Pendulum Swings Back: Creating Opportunities for an Online Community in the “Real World”

First of all, I think you need to know that, by his own admission, Heath loves the word “verdant.” Because he likes green, growing things. In fact, as attendees of his session discovered, he seems to like vibrant, growing, dynamic things of all types. Especially when they involve community, creativity, and the ways people can nurture both by diving further into their neighborhoods, learning more about the people around them.
