SUMMARY:Manuel Estrada: Painting with Letters
DESCRIPTION:The central idea of this exhibition is that writing and painting are two close activities that are in the central core of the creative process. Painting 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. Most of works shown are book covers\, but the exhibition features 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:Type x Graphic Design: Relationships & Collaboration
DESCRIPTION:Graphic designers and type designers need each other (aww!). Our relationship is a powerful force that shapes the typographic landscape. And yet\, we never get together. It’s time we talked. \nJoin Elizabeth Carey Smith\, June Shin\, Lisa Smith\, Nina Stössinger\, and YuJune Park on March 27th where we’ll be catching up and shedding light on our unique and collaborative process.

We’ll be covering a range of questions\, including: \nHow do graphic designers find and select typefaces?\nWhat do type designers have in mind when they’re designing new ones?\nHow do custom typefaces come to life? \nType designers and graphic designers: a meeting is long overdue. Let’s talk! \nEvent Series: Fresh Dialogue\nType x Graphic Design: Relationships & Collaboration is part of the Fresh Dialogue event series. These events are critical discussions that focus on current events\, issues of cultural relevance and emerging topics in the world of design. \nAIGA event in collaboration with Type Directors Club.
