SUMMARY:“StencilMania”: Stencil Lettering & Type Workshop with Laura Meseguer
DESCRIPTION:This workshop offers participants an opportunity to spend a day learning from and creating under the guidance of award-winning Barcelona typeface designer Laura Meseguer. \nGoals\n\nTo help participants to understand and practice the principles underlying the design of typefaces.\nSet the basis for creating a full alphabet in the future.\nReflect on the role of typography in the field of identity and experience and the design of custom types\, which all together can be understood as "type design as a tool for designers."\n\nRequired Materials\n\nDrawing materials: pencil\, white pencil and rubber\nSupports: white paper\, graph paper\, onion paper\, acetate semi-rigid\, black cardboard.\nTools: Scalpel cutters\, scissors\, rulers\, cutting surfaces.\nOther: Laptop (in case you want to go digital)\, photocopy machine\, laser cut printer.\n\nExercise\nWe will design typographic characters to label a word\, a message\, or a logo that will serve to cut out stencils in a resistant material and paint or print them lately\, as a poster or in a totebag. It can be solved manually and based on photocopies or with digital drawing. \nMethodology\nAll participants will be expected to do preliminary research about stencil sentences or words found in the streets or in articles or catalogs. It will be important to have good frontal photos and bring the prints to the classroom. These will serve as starting point for the day's project. From this material\, we will extract the alphabets to work on and define the modules or parts\, adapting the work process to each style. \nSchedule (8 hours)\n8:30 am - 9:00 am: Introduction\n9:00 am - 12:30 pm: Drawing work\n12:30 pm - 1:30 pm: Lunch break\n1:30 pm:-4:00 pm: Drawing work and composition\n4:00 pm - 4:30 pm: Presentation and exhibition \nParticipants\nParticipants will work in groups of 2 people\, and do projects just by hand and photocopies\, or by hand and computer – if so\, the attendees need to be skilled in vector drawing design. \nAbout Laura Meseguer\nLaura Meseguer is an acclaimed freelance graphic and type designer based in Barcelona\, who is part of the judging panel for our typeface design competition (TDC66).
