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

SUMMARY:Type Design for Non-Type Designers with Matteo Bologna
DESCRIPTION:Get a crash course in designing type from Matteo Bologna\, Creative Director of award-winning studio Mucca Design. This (always sold out) 6 hours workshop will introduce you to the basic skills necessary for the wild journey into the super fun world of type design. \nThis class will teach you the basics of designing and generating a typeface with the font-design software Glyphs (Mac only). \nIn the morning session we will learn the basics of drawing a font\, generate the font\, and use it in InDesign. In the afternoon\, we will add additional letters to the font\, learning how to kern them\, add diacritics\, and produce the combined letters. At the end of the day\, we will not have a finished font\, but a respectable start and hopefully you’ll be infected with the type making bug. \nRequirements\n\n\nBasic Adobe Illustrator skills are necessary.\n\n\nYou must bring your own laptop with a full or trial version of the font design program Glyphs already installed (download a free 30-day trial). Sorry no Windows\, no Fontlab\, no Robofont.\n\n\nNo prior experience is required in font design\, but some experience with Bézier-based vector drawing tools is useful.\n\n\nAbout Matteo Bologna\nMatteo Bologna is the principal of Mucca Design\, where he also serves as Creative Director. Under his direction\, the Mucca Design team has solved numerous design challenges and created uniquely successful work for a wide variety of global companies like Sephora\, Whole Foods\, Victoria’s Secret\, Barnes & Noble\, Adobe Systems\, Bacardi and Target. With his team he designed the identities for a variety of now classic New York City culinary destinations like Balthazar’s and Brooklyn Fare. \nMatteo is also the principal of the new Mucca spin-off type foundry muccaTypo. \nMatteo is a past president of the Type Directors Club and former board member of AIGA/NY.

SUMMARY:Lettering Walk with Paul Shaw: Greenwood Heights and Sunset Park
DESCRIPTION:Join us to explore the adjacent neighborhoods of Greenwood Heights and Sunset Park that straddle Fourth Avenue and butt up against Gowanus Bay and the Upper Bay of New York Harbor. These are working class and immigrant neighborhoods that—fingers crossed—have not yet been gentrified.  \nIn both neighborhoods\, we will show you a mix of vernacular lettering (with Mexican influence)\, classical roman capitals and 19th century grotesques for government institutions\, a small bit of Art Deco\, and some 1950s scripts. We will take a small detour into Green-Wood Cemetery (established 1838)\, one of the historically most important cemeteries in the United States\, and we might finish up at a letterpress shop. \nPaul Shaw has conducted regular walking tours of lettering in New York City since 2005 for the Type Directors Club and other organizations. He has also led similar tours of Boston\, Buffalo\, and Atlanta for SoTA (the Society of Typographic Aficionados). \nPaul is the author of Helvetica and the New York City Subway System\, which has been republished by The MIT Press this year. He has been a calligrapher for over 40 years and has designed 18 typefaces. He is the principal of Paul Shaw / Letter Design and teaches calligraphy at Parsons School of Design and the history of typography at the School of Visual Arts. \nParticipants will be notified of the meeting point in Brooklyn prior to the event. (Note: The Type Directors Club in Manhattan is not the starting point for this walk!)

SUMMARY:"Look Both Ways" Exhibition at SVA Chelsea Gallery
DESCRIPTION:School of Visual Arts presents Look Both Ways: The Illicit Liaison Between Image and Information\, a new exhibition curated by Debbie Millman\, chair of the MPS Branding program at SVA. This exhibition brings together a wide range of typographic work from 60 individual artists\, including Jean-Michel Basquiat\, Shepard Fairey\, Paul Sahre\, Carin Goldberg\, Jenny Holzer\, Seymour Chwast\, Chip Kidd\, Kim Gordon\, Tim Goodman\, Paula Scher\, and more\, from Millman’s personal collection and beyond. Look Both Ways  is free and open to the public\, and will be on view from August 24 through September 21 at the SVA Chelsea Gallery.  \nLook Both Ways showcases the many ways in which words\, text\, and information influence art\, design\, literature and music. Bold typographic expression has become the cultural currency of communication and the centerpiece of connection. Objects and experiences all around us now contain an inscription\, an impression or a point of view.  \n“I am thrilled to partner with SVA to share this selection of typography works from a group of innovative and outspoken artists\, several from my own personal collection\,” said curator and MPS Branding chair Debbie Millman. “This exhibition is a stark reminder of the power language has to rule all facets of culture. These works will undoubtedly incite many passionate discussions.” \nIn addition to her work as an educator and leader at SVA\, Millman is an acclaimed designer\, writer\, and strategist and has been hosting her Design Matters podcast for more than 14 years. \nThe exhibition\, located on the 15th Floor of Manhattan's landmark Starrett-Lehigh Building\, is open Monday through Saturday (closed Sunday). \nEveryone is welcomed to attend the exhibition reception on September 6 from 6:00pm to 8:00pm\, where there will be performances by selected artists.
