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.

SUMMARY:Typographics
DESCRIPTION:WHAT: \nThe 11-day festival is a forum for presentations about graphic design\, lettering\, web design\, publication design\, book design\, type design\, packaging\, branding\, corporate identity\, advertising\, and motion graphics. Importantly\, Typographics focus on new frontiers in-app and responsive web design. The international line-up of speakers includes emerging and established designers. The group attracts many distinguished typographers and the program is designed as a dialogue among all the participants. \nIn the week before and the week after the main conference\, Type@Cooper is offering workshops and tours that will educate and entertain conference participants and are open to the public as well. \nWHEN: \nThe festival runs from June 10 through June 20th. The conference starts on Friday\, June 14th at 9:45 am and concludes on Saturday\, June 15th at 6:00 pm. \n \nFESTIVAL EVENTS: \n\nJune 10-13: Workshops and tours\nJune 13-16: TypeLab events\nJune 14-15: Conference presentations\nJune 14-16: Typographics book fair\nJune 16-20: Workshops and tours\n\nDISCOUNTS FOR TDC MEMBERS: \nTDC members receive discounts on registration. Email director@tdc.org for the discount code.\nWHERE: \nThe festival will take place at The Cooper Union in the East Village\, with the conference happening at The Great Hall in The Foundation Building of the same college. \nThe Cooper Union’s landmark Foundation Building is in one of the liveliest and hippest neighborhoods in Manhattan. The East Village attracts tens of thousands of tourists each year and is a destination in itself. What better place to hold this event? New York is one of the largest centers of graphic design with several hundred design studios. Conference participants will experience first-hand the energy and impact of typography in a thriving city that is a rich pool of talent and resources. \nSince 1859\, The Great Hall of The Cooper Union with 855 seats has been a stage for educational lectures\, political movements\, campaigns for social reform and the creative arts. Here\, abolitionists like Frederick Douglass campaigned to end slavery and suffragists like Elizabeth Cady Stanton fought for women to have the right to vote. In 1860\, Abraham Lincoln gave the speech that propelled him to the presidency. Working people organized labor unions and civic reformers\, political movements\, the Red Cross\, and the NAACP all have roots here.  \nThe Great Hall has offered a platform to Heads of State\, Nobel laureates\, and American presidents from Lincoln and Grant to Clinton and Obama. On June 15 and 16\, 2018\, Typographics designers will again take the stage and affect the trajectory of design in the 21st century.

SUMMARY:Visual Memoranda: A Selection of Posters from the IBM Poster Program 1969-1979
DESCRIPTION:Everyone is invited to drop in at Type Directors Club in New York to see our new exhibition\, Visual Memoranda: A Selection of Posters from the IBM Poster Program 1969-1979  through August 1. \nThe decades following World War II ushered in an era of unprecedented growth for International Business Machines (IBM)\, as innovations in electronic data processing and the miniaturization of transistor-based electronics transformed the company into a multibillion-dollar colossus. \nDuring this period\, Thomas J. Watson Jr.\, president of IBM\, sought to elevate the company’s image as a forward-thinking\, technologically-advanced organization by hiring world-renowned design consultants\, including Eliot Noyes\, Charles and Ray Eames\, and Paul Rand (who designed the instantly recognizable IBM logo and held a remarkable influence over internal staff designers.) \nThe IBM Poster Program was initiated in the late 1960s by staff designer Ken White\, who had studied under Rand at Yale. Tom Bluhm also transferred into the team\, having worked as a contract illustrator for IBM in Rochester\, Minnesota. Soon\, Ken’s former colleague John Anderson was also added to the staff. \nCurators Robert Finkel and Shea Tillman of Auburn University have curated this beautiful show and created a companion website\, which you can view here. \nTake a look at the installation of the exhibition at TDC and IBM in TDC's history here. \nThis exhibition at TDC is open for viewing from June 6 until Thursday\, August 1 by appointment only. Email director@tdc.org for an appointment from 9:00am to 3:00pm Monday through Friday. Sorry\, we are closed on weekends.

SUMMARY:Gallery Talk with Manuel Estrada: Painting with Letters
DESCRIPTION:Because we have had such an incredible response to Manuel Estrada's beautiful exhibit\, we have invited him to come back to New York and speak about his work. Take a look at the photo gallery here. \nPainting with letters is something Manuel Estrada has always been interested in\, as in writing with images. It is a way of summing up all tools to turn design into an object to examine or an image to look at. Manuel will talk about his book covers\, posters\, and logos that are built around the same principle — typography as the main tool of graphic design. \nManuel Estrada is the recipient of the Spanish National Design Award. His Estudio\, founded in 1989\, has offices in Madrid and Miami\, it has a team of 17 people and is specialized in corporate identity programs. He is a strong supporter of design as a fact of business development and its direct input in the success of corporations\, and has also being dedicated to teaching in many different institutions. His work has been exhibited in New York\, Chicago\, Helsinki\, Berlin\, Lisbon\, and many cities throughout Spain. \nWebsite: www.estradadesign.eu\n \nTwitter: @Estrada_design

SUMMARY:Type Walk with Paul Shaw: Downtown Brooklyn and Boerum Hill
DESCRIPTION:On May 19 we will return to Downtown Brooklyn to see what remains of its lettering past as well as to see what is new. We will also visit nearby Boerum Hill for the first time. \nWe will see classical roman capitals\, Art Deco\, and geometric sans serifs on courthouses\, schools\, firehouses and other governmental buildings; grotesque sans serifs on tenements\, churches and manhole covers; street signs on buildings; and\, of course\, examples of vernacular lettering and ghost signs. \nPaul Shaw is a designer and a design historian. He has been leading lettering tours of New York City neighborhoods for 10 years and of other cities\, both here and in Italy\, since 1997. As a designer he specializes in letterforms from calligraphy to type design. Paul has designed or co-designed 18 fonts\, including Kolo\, Donatello and Old Claude. As a historian he has written or lectured about Bartolomeo Sanvito\, W.A. Dwiggins\, Oswald Cooper\, Frederic W. Goudy\, George Salter\, Phil Gruskin\, Hermann Zapf and others. \nMeeting place and itinerary will be emailed a few days in advance of the tour. \nThis event is being held in association with NYC x Design:

SUMMARY:Great Typography on the Web with Variable Fonts with Jason Pamental
DESCRIPTION:New developments in fonts and the web allow us to practice better typography on screens than ever before. In some ways\, even better than we can in print. Get an in-depth introduction to responsive typography and the latest evolution of the OpenType specification: Variable Fonts. While traditional design applications are only just beginning to support them\, web browsers have embraced them for a lot longer. We’ll explore just how much of your typographic expertise can be put to great use on the web\, and look at what variable fonts can do\, and how much they can improve both our designs and the user experience. \n \nStarting with an introduction to the concepts of responsive typography\, you’ll learn what techniques translate to the web\, and what you have to anticipate will change. The real magic is finding the ways to bring sophistication to your typography while still embracing how that system can evolve and adapt as screen sizes change. Variable fonts take design even further\, allowing access to the entire design of a typeface—width\, weight\, italics\, and more—rather than having to limit ourselves to only three or four weights and styles on the web. \nWe’ll go much more in-depth into the new Variable Font format: looking at what axes of variation are typically made available\, what’s possible\, how it works to implement them\, how to find them\, and how to test them. From there\, we'll explore what this means for designing on the web\, and look at some more editorial design ideas to push our sites a whole lot farther. \nThis is meant to be a hands-on workshop working through implementing various typographic techniques and exploring a variety of variable fonts to show what they can do. We’ll also discuss how our current definition of typography is challenged by the ability for type to change in response to the user: either through preference or environment. \nWe'll be working with HTML and CSS\, though attendees can certainly opt to watch and listen rather than work along as we go. It’s also perfectly fine to come and work collaboratively if some attendees are more comfortable with coding than others. Some experience working with HTML and CSS is preferable\, but not required. \nRequirements: \n\nYou must bring your own laptop with web browser (a recent version of Firefox is well worth it: their developer tools are very helpful in exploring variable fonts)\nCode editor of some kind (if you want to work along with the examples we will discuss and create)\nBasic familiarity with HTML and CSS is helpful\, but not required if you prefer to just watch and list.\n\nJason Pamental spends much of his time working with clients to establish their typographic systems and digital strategy\, helping design and development teams works smarter and faster\, and running workshops about all of the above. He is a seasoned design and user experience strategy leader with over 20 years’ experience on the web in both creative and technical roles\, and an Invited Expert to the W3C Web Fonts Working Group. Clients range from type industry giants\, Ivy League and High Tech\, to the NFL and America’s Cup. He also researches and writes on typography for the web: he’s author of Responsive Typography from O’Reilly\, articles for .Net Magazine\, PRINT Magazine\, HOW\, Monotype.com\, and frequent podcast guest. Author of online courses for Aquent’s Gymnasium platform and Frontend Masters. He’s an experienced speaker and workshop leader\, having presented at over 50 national and international conferences. The real story: mainly he just follows Tristan and Tillie around Turner Reservoir\, posting photos on Instagram. \nThis workshop is being held in association with Creative Tech Week and NYC x Design.

SUMMARY:David Berlow: Beyond the Quest for the Perfect Uppercase Partial Differential
DESCRIPTION:This free event will be streamed live from Google HQ in New York City on the TDC YouTube Channel: TDC YouTube \nThe YouTube event will go live at 5:5o pm EST\, and the program will begin at 6:00pm EST. Join us for a memorable event! \nThe last 30 years has seen a great growth in generalized glyphs and styles. David Berlow's talk will show what happens to and for typography when we start to get more specific about the fonts\, and thus the glyphs we design by having more generalized fonts. \nThe first part talks about glyphs and illustrates how different scripts form ideas\, words\, and texts. Next\, David will discuss how this effects the design of glyphs over a size range and then how this affects the design of styles that can be specified to work together in web and print environments. He will then demonstrate and describe inter-script\, inter-class and inter-style typography\, and conclude with a question-and-answer session. \nDavid Berlow entered the type industry in 1978 as a letter designer for Mergenthaler. He joined the newly formed Bitstream in 1982. Berlow left Bitstream in 1989 to found The Font Bureau with Roger Black. In 2008\, Berlow launched Webtype with Petr van Blokland and others. In 2016\, with Font Bureau and other foundries\, he created Type Network. \nType Network: Website  \nFollow David Berlow on Twitter: @dberlow  \nRead more about David Berlow here. \nThis event is being held in association with NYC x Design:
