SUMMARY:Type Walk with Paul Shaw: From Murray Hill to the United Nations
DESCRIPTION:For Creative Week in New York Cit\, Paul Shaw's tour will include such iconic New York lettering venues as the Empire State Bulding\, the Chanin Building\, Tudor City\, and the Beaux Arts Institute of Design. But it will also look at the mundane and often overlooked examples of lettering in the city such as door handles\, house numbers\, and manhole covers. There will be Gothic\, Art Deco\, and script letters; blackletter and classical roman capitals. \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.

SUMMARY:The Twilight of Letterpress: New York in the 80s
DESCRIPTION:Ron and Dean interviewed the various proprietors and photographed their shops\, their studios\, and representative samples of their work. Little did any of them know that what was coming to an end in the city was not only letterpress\, but the whole printing industry itself. Ron will show Dean’s nostalgic and evocative photos again in a re-creation of a talk originally given in 1984\, and reflect on printing in New York the last 35 years.\nPittsburgh Metal Foundry \nRon Gordon (in hat) \nRON GORDON studied printing\, typography\, and book design with two great masters\, Leonard Baskin and Joseph Blumenthal\, and then founded his own Oliphant Press in 1970 to carry on the tradition of fine printing and design. Beginning as a letterpress printer\, Ron adapted his style and skills as the craft shifted to computer typesetting\, offset lithography\, and now\, digital printing.  \nHis work has been exhibited at the Amherst College Library\, the RIT Cary Collection\, and the Club of Odd Volumes\, in Boston. Ron has taught workshops at the book arts centers at Wells\, Wellesley\, Dartmouth\, and RIT. He has trained numerous assistants and interns\, and has lectured at libraries\, colleges\, and book clubs all over the country.

SUMMARY:Manuel Estrada: Painting with Letters
DESCRIPTION:The central idea of this exhibition is that writing and painting are two close activities that are in the central core of the creative process. Painting 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. Most of works shown are book covers\, but the exhibition features 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. \nDue to the popularity of this exhibition\, we have invited Manuel Estrada to return to New York for a gallery talk on May 29. Tickets are available here. \nWebsite: www.estradadesign.eu \nTwitter: @Estrada_design \nExhibition: Digital Gallery \nTo view the show\, please email our director\, Carol Wahler\, for an appointment at director@tdc.org \nThis event is being held in association with NYC x Design:

SUMMARY:TDC64 Exhibition at AUT in Auckland NZ
DESCRIPTION:Type Directors Club is pleased to announce that its “The World’s Best Typography” exhibition is on view in Auckland\, New Zealand for the first time\, courtesy of award-winning design firm Osborne Shiwan and the School of Art and Design at Auckland University of Technology (AUT). \n \nDirect from its New York showing\, TDC64 Auckland is showcasing an exciting\, culturally diverse range of award-winning work from 36 countries. The exhibition is on display at St Paul St Gallery Three in Auckland from April 2 – 17. \nLloyd Osborne\, Creative Director at design agency Osborne Shiwan\, attributes interest in the exhibition to its global focus. “The Type Directors Club promotes diversity in typographic excellence through its encouragement of different languages in typography. We are proud to bring TDC64 to Auckland.”  \nThe exhibition presents over 200 works in typeface design and communications design\, chosen from 1\,835 entries by some of the design industry’s most recognized mentors\, innovators and thought-leaders\, with work in dozens of languages. The communications design portion of the exhibition integrates both professional and student work and features typography in a wide range of forms -- books\, posters\, corporate branding\, logos\, web graphics\, film and TV titles\, products\, and magazines. \n \nDr. Peter Gilderdale\, Senior Lecturer in Communication Design at AUT\, sees the event as an important opportunity in allowing New Zealand designers to view work in its original form\, rather than solely on the web. “We are excited to offer this opportunity to our students\, and we hope that the exhibition will act as a venue for the profession and our students to jointly share a passion for typography. We are delighted to be able to work with Osborne Shiwan in making this important exhibition happen.” \nAbout Osborne Shiwan \nFounded in 2006\, Osborne Shiwan is an Auckland-based design agency specializing in strategic thinking and art direction. Creative Directors Lloyd Osborne and Shabnam Shiwan have worked with some of New Zealand’s most influential brands and their work has been recognised internationally within the areas of commerce\, arts and culture.

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

Sorry no Windows\, no Fontlab\, no Robofont.\nNo prior experience is required in font design\, but some experience with Bézier-based vector drawing tools is useful.\n\nAbout Matteo Bologna \n \nMatteo Bologna is the principal of Mucca Design\, where he also serves as Creative Director.
