SUMMARY:TypeThursdayNYC November
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:Practicing Type in the Age of Screens
DESCRIPTION:Typeface design and the implementation of typography has never been more exciting. In many cases\, type is presented on monitors\, tiny and huge electronic visual displays\, i.e.\, screens. \nIn collaboration with the Type Directors Club\, Design Incubation will moderate a panel discussion among design innovators about their design and use of type in today’s changing environment. \nModerators \nLiz DeLuna\nSt John’s University \nDan Wong\nNew York City College of Technology\, CUNY \nPanelists \n\nJason Pamental\nJavier Viramontes\nNancy Campbell\nKsenya Samarskaya\n\n  \nDesign Incubation is a venue for educators and practitioners of Communication Design to discuss design research and practice. Our aim is to create a community where designers can assess creative work through a lens of scholarly activity and academic review. \nThe organization seeks to foster collaboration\, promote development\, encourage discourse\, cultivate theoretical frameworks\, challenge notions\, offer criticism\, and review processes within the design community. We include designers across experience levels and backgrounds— practicing designers\, graduate students\, adjunct and tenure-track faculty through to distinguished professors.
