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. The speakers will be giving a brief presentation of their creative processes\, and will gather around for a panel discussion. 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.

SUMMARY:Zapf Centennial Symposium at The Grolier Club
DESCRIPTION:This special event has been organized by The Grolier Committee on Modern Fine Printing. \nHermann Zapf was the first person to receive the prestigious TDC Medal in 1967. \nThe symposium speakers include: \n• Dr. Robert Bringhurst\, a Candian known for his work as a linguist\, cultural historian\, typographer and author of The Elements of Typographic Style \n• David Pankow\, Curator Emeritus\, The Melbert B. Cary\, Jr. Graphic Arts Collection\, Rochester Institute of Technology \n• Ferdinand Ulrich\, typographer\, writer and educator\, and type designer\, who is a doctoral student at the University of Reading\, United Kingdom \n• Julian Waters\, a former student of Hermann Zapf\, who works as a lettering designer\, international teacher\, and lecturer \nThis symposium is being held in conjunction with Alphabet Magic: A Centennial Exhibition of the Work of Hermann & Gudrun Zapf\, on view at the Grolier Club\, February 20–April 2. 2019. \nThe seminar is free and open to the public. If you are interested in attending the seminar\, please RSVP to Maev Brennan\, mbrennan@grolierclub.org\, (212) 838-6690 \nAlphabet Magic chronicles the extraordinary artistic achievements of Gudrun and Hermann Zapf with the most comprehensive exhibition of their work to date.  Zapf’s typefaces Palatino\, Optima\, and Zapfino (to name a few) are a part of our everyday lives in the United States and Europe\, as well as around the world.  He was also at the forefront of type technology.  Zapf’s Marconi alphabet design was the first typeface ever created specifically for digital typography.  Gudrun Zapf von Hesse secured her own design legacy through typefaces such as Diotima\, Carmina\, and Shakespeare Roman. \n \nIncluded in the exhibition are rare specimens of their typefaces\, landmark works using their typefaces\, original calligraphic works of art\, and examples of fine bookbinding.  In addition to completed works\, ephemeral process work for some of Gudrun and Hermann Zapf’s most important typefaces and publications offers a behind-the-scenes look at the masters at work.  Of special interest are sketches\, layouts\, and proofs for Hermann Zapf’s groundbreaking Feder und Stichel (1950)\, Manuale Typographicum (1954\, 1968)\, and Orbis Typographicus (1990).  As Robert Bringhurst has written\, Hermann Zapf has been “widely recognized as one of the most poetic of type designers\, or\, to put it another way\, as the author of some of the loveliest printing type ever made.” \nAlthough Gudrun and Hermann Zapf are perhaps best known for their type design\, over the course of their long careers they engaged with nearly every aspect of the book arts.  Hermann considered himself a book designer at heart\, Gudrun is a noted bookbinder\, and both were master calligraphers. \nCo-sponsors: American Printing History Association-New York Chapter\, Center for Book Arts\, Society of Scribes\, Type Directors Club\, Typophiles\, and the Cary Graphic Arts Collection\, Rochester Institute of Technology
