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. Donations of $1\, $5\, $10\, or more are welcomed. \nClick on the registration link to sign up for this live Zoom webinar via Eventbrite.

From Tuberculosis to Loose Lips Sink Ships\, Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires to Silence = Death\, she'll explore a wide array of topics and methods that have been used to disseminate information to the public for the greater good. She'll start her talk with a brief introduction to Poster House\, the first museum in the United States dedicated to the art and history of the poster. \nAngelina holds an MA in the art of the Russian Avant-Garde from the Courtauld Institute of Art in London\, and a BA in theology and art history from Smith College.

Through exhibitions\, events\, and publications\, the museum presents a global view of posters from their earliest appearance in the late 1800s to their present-day use. Poster House takes its mission from the medium\, aiming to engage and educate all audiences as it investigates large-format graphic design and its public impact. \nPoster House was founded in 2015 with an eye towards filling a long-acknowledged gap in the New York cultural landscape. While there are several poster museums around the world\, New York\, with its long relationship with advertising and design\, did not have such a dedicated public institution. 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:“StencilMania”: Stencil Lettering & Type Workshop with Laura Meseguer
DESCRIPTION:This workshop offers participants an opportunity to spend a day learning from and creating under the guidance of award-winning Barcelona typeface designer Laura Meseguer. \nGoals\n\nTo help participants to understand and practice the principles underlying the design of typefaces.\nSet the basis for creating a full alphabet in the future.\nReflect on the role of typography in the field of identity and experience and the design of custom types\, which all together can be understood as "type design as a tool for designers."\n\nRequired Materials\n\nDrawing materials: pencil\, white pencil and rubber\nSupports: white paper\, graph paper\, onion paper\, acetate semi-rigid\, black cardboard.\nTools: Scalpel cutters\, scissors\, rulers\, cutting surfaces.\nOther: Laptop (in case you want to go digital)\, photocopy machine\, laser cut printer.\n\nExercise\nWe will design typographic characters to label a word\, a message\, or a logo that will serve to cut out stencils in a resistant material and paint or print them lately\, as a poster or in a totebag. It can be solved manually and based on photocopies or with digital drawing. \nMethodology\nAll participants will be expected to do preliminary research about stencil sentences or words found in the streets or in articles or catalogs. It will be important to have good frontal photos and bring the prints to the classroom. These will serve as starting point for the day's project. From this material\, we will extract the alphabets to work on and define the modules or parts\, adapting the work process to each style. \nSchedule (8 hours)\n8:30 am - 9:00 am: Introduction\n9:00 am - 12:30 pm: Drawing work\n12:30 pm - 1:30 pm: Lunch break\n1:30 pm:-4:00 pm: Drawing work and composition\n4:00 pm - 4:30 pm: Presentation and exhibition \nParticipants\nParticipants will work in groups of 2 people\, and do projects just by hand and photocopies\, or by hand and computer – if so\, the attendees need to be skilled in vector drawing design. \nAbout Laura Meseguer\nLaura Meseguer is an acclaimed freelance graphic and type designer based in Barcelona\, who is part of the judging panel for our typeface design competition (TDC66).
