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).

SUMMARY:Dichotomies Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Resilience\, harmony\, and progress are concepts that Adi Stern uses to describe his dual script family\, Noam Text. The exhibition features posters by fourteen designers and illustrators that use Noam Text\, a Hebrew font that builds on its heritage with the twin tools of honor and progress and a type family that enables the interweaving of an English word or sentence amidst Hebrew text\, without any disruption — fluently\, calmly. \nThe exhibition is free and open to the public Monday to Friday\, 9 am to 4 pm by appointment only.  \nCall 212-633-8943 or email director@tdc.org for an appointment. \nThe exhibition is on view through January 30.

SUMMARY:Type x Graphic Design: Emerging Global Practices
DESCRIPTION:We explore this question through conversations with recent design graduates Pragun Agarwal (MICA)\, Ivy Li (VCU)\, and Beatriz Lozano (University of Michigan). Through their work\, these practitioners hailing from international and local backgrounds touch upon difficult issues of translation and reception of visual culture and ideas. What can all designers learn from their experiences? \nEmerging Global Practices is the first in a three-part Type x Graphic Design series on global typography and design by AIGA NY and the TDC. \nGraphic designer and educator Jason Alejandro will moderate the panel\, which includes recent graduates from the Maryland Institute College of Art\, University of Michigan\, and Virginia Commonwealth University. Each panelist will present their work for 15 minutes\, followed by a 30-minute discussion. \nEvent Series: Fresh Dialogue\nType x Graphic Design: Emerging Global Practices 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. \nPanel Moderator\nJason Alejandro is a graphic designer and educator based between New York City and Philadelphia. He is currently an Assistant Professor of Graphic Design at the College of New Jersey. Jason has taught at Rutgers University\, Kean University\, Lehigh University\, and the University of Pennsylvania. Previously\, he was an art director at JK Design and a book designer at Princeton University Press. Jason received an MFA in Graphic Design from Vermont College of Fine Arts\, and his work has been recognized by Communication Arts\, Society of Typographic Arts\, Association of University Presses\, and the Book Industry Guild of New York. He maintains an independent design practice focused on publishing\, education\, and typography. Select clients include Johnson & Johnson\, Princeton University\, MIT Press\, University of Chicago Press\, Verso Books\, and Rolling Stone. \nSpeakers\n\nPragun Agarwal is a graphic designer from India\, and a fresh MFA Graduate in Graphic Design from the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA)\, Baltimore. He is originally from New Delhi where he was born and brought up before moving to Ahmedabad to finish his design education from the National Institute of Design (NID). After his graduation in 2014\, he worked at Codesign for three years and successfully completed an internship at Pentagram in the summer of 2018. Pragun has constantly pushed his learning of calligraphy\, lettering\, and typography by experimenting with different styles\, techniques and tools. He has applied his understanding of these mediums in different personal and commercial projects over the last few years. \nYixue (aka Ivy Li) is a designer working between China and the United States. She is interested in how global products/identities are made\, transported and consumed\, and the inevitable ‘mis-’ in acts of transmission. She stands with things and humans that are misread\, mispronounced\, misfitted and mistranslated when they traverse social and cultural borders. She holds an MFA from Virginia Commonwealth University and is currently at Wkshps. \nBeatriz Lozano is a designer at Sunday Afternoon and former designer in residence at Morcos Key. She holds a BFA from the University of Michigan and is currently exploring custom type\, 3D\, and motion design. Originally on the path to becoming a mechanical engineer\, Beatriz shifted to graphic design as her involvement in immigrant rights activism exposed her to the power of visual communication. \n  \n\nType x Graphic Design: Emerging Global Practices is organized by AIGA NY and co-sponsored by Type Directors Club in collaboration with the School of Art\, Media\, and Technology at The New School. \nGraphics: Beatriz Lozano \n
