TypeMedia final projects showcase 18 June (120 min)

The TypeMedia class of 2020 will discuss the process behind each project: ten students will go through their work sharing with the audience ideas, drawings, and design choices that brought them to the final result.

11:30 – 11:40 Introduction
11:40 – 11:55 Celine Hurka A collection of variable fonts exploring the outcome of various experimental reproduction methods, while questioning conventions in type design.
11:55 – 12:10 Arnaud Chemin The roman capitals constructions and their adaptation to lowercases for text reading size. From calligraphy, through drawing, to typography. A brush oriented project.
12:10 – 12:25 Olga Umpeleva Noordenwind is a typeface that combines simple sans text and display styles, and super display serif styles which contain the number of serifs you have not encountered before. All in one family.
12:25 – 12:40 Jan Šindler Outcome of a process of going through a mass of unconnectable dots.

13:40 – 13:55 Jamie Chang Cleft explores unique inline construction and line emphasis within a typeface.
