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.

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. \nWebsite: www.estradadesign.eu\n \nTwitter: @Estrada_design

SUMMARY:Type ThursdayNYC
DESCRIPTION:TypeThursdayNYC is a monthly gathering of type geeks\, held at Type Directors Club. We like to think of ourselves as a type superfamily: we attract local letterform lovers hailing from all disciplines and levels of expertise. Social hours bookend the centerpiece of our event\, a group critique we refer to as Type Crit. \nWhat the font is Type Crit‽
 \nBriefly: It’s a critique. Of letterforms. No grades. Plenty of wine. \nVerbosely: Type Crit is a group critique of up to four\, in-progress projects involving letterform design and/or usage. You can get\, give\, or simply listen to feedback—your pick! Discussion is moderated by a TypeThursdayNYC dialogue lead—we pride ourselves on fostering a friendly forum for constructive\, thoughtful advice that’ll raise the baseline on your letterform game. \nQUICK LINK: Sign up to present work for feedback at Type Crit \nWhat’s the program for the evening? \n6:00pm – 6:45pm: Check in & Socializing\n6:50pm:          Opening Statements | Introduction\n7:00pm – 8:00pm: Type Critiques\n8:00pm:          Closing Comments | Outro\n8:10pm – 8:45pm: Socializing & End of Event

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.
