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:Type ThursdayNYC
DESCRIPTION:TypeThursdayNYC is a monthly gathering of type geeks\, held at Type Directors Club. We like to think of ourselves as a type superfamily: we attract local letterform lovers hailing from all disciplines and levels of expertise. Social hours bookend the centerpiece of our event\, a group critique we refer to as Type Crit. \nWhat the font is Type Crit‽\nBriefly: It’s a critique. Of letterforms. No grades. Plenty of wine. \nVerbosely: Type Crit is a group critique of up to four\, in-progress projects involving letterform design and/or usage. You can get\, give\, or simply listen to feedback—your pick! Discussion is moderated by a TypeThursdayNYC dialogue lead—we pride ourselves on fostering a friendly forum for constructive\, thoughtful advice that’ll raise the baseline on your letterform game. \nQUICK LINK: Sign up to present work for feedback at Type Crit\nWhat’s the program for the evening? \n6:00pm – 6:45pm: Check in & Socializing\n6:50pm: Opening Statements | Introduction\n7:00pm – 8:00pm: Type Critiques\n8:00pm: Closing Comments | Outro\n8:10pm – 8:45pm: Socializing & End of Event

SUMMARY:Typographics
DESCRIPTION:WHAT: \nThe 11-day festival is a forum for presentations about graphic design\, lettering\, web design\, publication design\, book design\, type design\, packaging\, branding\, corporate identity\, advertising\, and motion graphics. Importantly\, Typographics focus on new frontiers in-app and responsive web design. The international line-up of speakers includes emerging and established designers. The group attracts many distinguished typographers and the program is designed as a dialogue among all the participants. \nIn the week before and the week after the main conference\, Type@Cooper is offering workshops and tours that will educate and entertain conference participants and are open to the public as well. \nWHEN: \nThe festival runs from June 10 through June 20th. The conference starts on Friday\, June 14th at 9:45 am and concludes on Saturday\, June 15th at 6:00 pm. \n \nFESTIVAL EVENTS: \n\nJune 10-13: Workshops and tours\nJune 13-16: TypeLab events\nJune 14-15: Conference presentations\nJune 14-16: Typographics book fair\nJune 16-20: Workshops and tours\n\nDISCOUNTS FOR TDC MEMBERS: \nTDC members receive discounts on registration. Email director@tdc.org for the discount code.\nWHERE: \nThe festival will take place at The Cooper Union in the East Village\, with the conference happening at The Great Hall in The Foundation Building of the same college. \nThe Cooper Union’s landmark Foundation Building is in one of the liveliest and hippest neighborhoods in Manhattan. The East Village attracts tens of thousands of tourists each year and is a destination in itself. What better place to hold this event? New York is one of the largest centers of graphic design with several hundred design studios. Conference participants will experience first-hand the energy and impact of typography in a thriving city that is a rich pool of talent and resources. \nSince 1859\, The Great Hall of The Cooper Union with 855 seats has been a stage for educational lectures\, political movements\, campaigns for social reform and the creative arts. Here\, abolitionists like Frederick Douglass campaigned to end slavery and suffragists like Elizabeth Cady Stanton fought for women to have the right to vote. In 1860\, Abraham Lincoln gave the speech that propelled him to the presidency. Working people organized labor unions and civic reformers\, political movements\, the Red Cross\, and the NAACP all have roots here.  \nThe Great Hall has offered a platform to Heads of State\, Nobel laureates\, and American presidents from Lincoln and Grant to Clinton and Obama. On June 15 and 16\, 2018\, Typographics designers will again take the stage and affect the trajectory of design in the 21st century.
