SUMMARY:Lubalin Center: Japanese Graphic Design from the Archive
DESCRIPTION:The curator of the Herb Lubalin Study Center\, Alexander Tochilovsky\, will discuss the history of the center and the evolution of its collection. \nThe talk will also focus on a few recent acquisitions of Japanese graphic design ephemera made during a trip to Tokyo.

The talk will shed light on some wonderful objects and the designers behind them. \nAlexander Tochilovsky is a graphic designer\, typographer\, curator\, and educator\, with nearly 20 years of professional experience\, and 10 years of experience teaching typography. He graduated with a BFA from The Cooper Union\, and holds an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art. He is currently the Curator of the Herb Lubalin Study Center of Design and Typography. Since 2007\, he has taught typography and design at the Cooper Union School of Art\, and also teaches the history of typeface design at Type@Cooper\, the postgraduate certificate program he co-founded in 2010. \n \nRegistration for this special event is available on a first-come\, first-served basis. Tickets: Tickets to the TDC Virtual Salons are free to members only.

SUMMARY:Brenda McManus and Ned Drew: L is for Labor of Love
DESCRIPTION:After their son was born in 2013\, Ned and Brenda began to conceive of a meaningful purpose for the collection of type\, woodblocks\, and line-engraved images that they have been amassing for 20+ years. They decided to create a learning tool\, a unique letterpress book of ABCs that took five years to make. The project combines many facets of their lives: family\, teaching\, letterpress printing\, design\, and collecting. \nThe project was born out of their shared passion for design\, a focus on typography\, an engagement with design history\, and an infatuation with letterpress artifacts. Ned and Brenda strongly believe in the preservation of a living history of letterpress\, as there is no greater tool for teaching future generations of typographers about the craft and the value of hands-on work. \nThey also believe that it is essential to intentionally make space for those projects that are labors of love\, projects that integrate play and discovery into the creative process\, on personal terms. The freedom of those experiments is essential for creative growth. \n \nRegistration for this special event is available on a first-come\, first-served basis. Tickets to the TDC Virtual Salons are free to members only. Non-members are asked for a suggested donation of ten dollars to help fund our free recordings of events and to grow typographic awareness.

After several years of planning and construction\, Poster House opened its doors on June 20\, 2019. \n \nRegistration for this special event is available on a first-come\, first-served basis.

SUMMARY:Postponed - With a Cast of Colored Stars - A Talk with Kelly Walters
DESCRIPTION:In design\, visual expression is informed by an understanding of history\, language\, symbols\, patterns and image aesthetics. It is imperative that designers have a strong foundation in these areas in order to support the creation of culturally conscious work. Despite this awareness\, there remain gaps in design history that neglect showing a broad spectrum of visual languages from the past and excludes discussions on how design has been complicit in forming and reinforcing racism. \nThrough historical archival research and the act of experimental printmaking\, my research aims to highlight the linguistic phrases used in promotional Black film posters during the Jim Crow through Blaxploitation eras. By extracting typographic elements such as “an all colored cast” or “with a cast of colored stars\,” Kelly Walters is able to closely examine examples of segregation while also re-contextualizing them for new alternative platforms. In looking closely at typographic details\, language\, and gestures\, identifiable patterns emerge pointing to shifts in communication styles and cultural representation in this area of poster design. \nAbout Kelly Walters\nKelly Walters is a designer and educator whose work investigates the intersection of black cultural vernacular in mainstream media. Her research practice is deeply intertwined with the molding and shaping of cultural identity\, and an investment in making visible historical visual expressions that reclaim a Black voice within the field of graphic design. In her independent design studio Bright Polka Dot\, she produces print and digital ephemera for publications\, exhibitions and social campaigns. She currently is an Assistant Professor of Communication Design at Parsons School of Design at The New School in New York. \nWebsite: https://brightpolkadot.com/ \nInstagram: @brightpolkadot

SUMMARY:Robert Finkel and Shea Tillman: Visual Memoranda - IBM Poster Program 1969-1979
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening night of our new exhibition\, Visual Memoranda: A Selection of Posters from the IBM Poster Program 1969-1979.  Curators Robert Finkel and Shea Tillman will be there to share their research about this corporate design venture and speak about the designers whose works are on display. \nThe decades following World War II ushered in an era of unprecedented growth for International Business Machines (IBM)\, as innovations in electronic data processing and the miniaturization of transistor-based electronics transformed the company into a multibillion-dollar colossus. \nDuring this period\, Thomas J. Watson Jr.\, president of IBM\, sought to elevate the company’s image as a forward-thinking\, technologically-advanced organization by hiring world-renowned design consultants\, including Eliot Noyes\, Charles and Ray Eames\, and Paul Rand (who designed the instantly recognizable IBM logo and held a remarkable influence over internal staff designers.) \nThe IBM Poster Program was initiated in the late 1960s by staff designer Ken White\, who had studied under Rand at Yale. It was also during this period that Tom Bluhm transferred into the team\, having worked as a contract illustrator for IBM in Rochester\, Minnesota. Shortly thereafter\, Ken’s former colleague John Anderson was also added to the staff. \nWebsite preview here. \nThis exhibition is open for viewing from June 6 until Thursday\, August 1st\, 3 p.m. by appointment only. The TDC office is closed on weekends.

SUMMARY:Gallery Talk with Manuel Estrada: Painting with Letters
DESCRIPTION:Because we have had such an incredible response to Manuel Estrada's beautiful exhibit\, we have invited him to come back to New York and speak about his work. Take a look at the photo gallery here. \nPainting with letters is something Manuel Estrada has always been interested in\, as in writing with images. It is a way of summing up all tools to turn design into an object to examine or an image to look at. Manuel will talk about his book covers\, posters\, and logos that are built around the same principle — typography as the main tool of graphic design. \nManuel Estrada is the recipient of the Spanish National Design Award. His Estudio\, founded in 1989\, has offices in Madrid and Miami\, it has a team of 17 people and is specialized in corporate identity programs. He is a strong supporter of design as a fact of business development and its direct input in the success of corporations\, and has also being dedicated to teaching in many different institutions. His work has been exhibited in New York\, Chicago\, Helsinki\, Berlin\, Lisbon\, and many cities throughout Spain. \nWebsite: www.estradadesign.eu\n \nTwitter: @Estrada_design

SUMMARY:David Berlow: Beyond the Quest for the Perfect Uppercase Partial Differential
DESCRIPTION:This free event will be streamed live from Google HQ in New York City on the TDC YouTube Channel: TDC YouTube \nThe YouTube event will go live at 5:5o pm EST\, and the program will begin at 6:00pm EST. Join us for a memorable event! \nThe last 30 years has seen a great growth in generalized glyphs and styles. David Berlow's talk will show what happens to and for typography when we start to get more specific about the fonts\, and thus the glyphs we design by having more generalized fonts. \nThe first part talks about glyphs and illustrates how different scripts form ideas\, words\, and texts. Next\, David will discuss how this effects the design of glyphs over a size range and then how this affects the design of styles that can be specified to work together in web and print environments. He will then demonstrate and describe inter-script\, inter-class and inter-style typography\, and conclude with a question-and-answer session. \nDavid Berlow entered the type industry in 1978 as a letter designer for Mergenthaler. He joined the newly formed Bitstream in 1982. Berlow left Bitstream in 1989 to found The Font Bureau with Roger Black. In 2008\, Berlow launched Webtype with Petr van Blokland and others. In 2016\, with Font Bureau and other foundries\, he created Type Network. \nType Network: Website  \nFollow David Berlow on Twitter: @dberlow  \nRead more about David Berlow here. \nThis event is being held in association with NYC x Design:
