The ATypI Vancouver 2003 conference website is live. This year is particularly interesting for me as it will be held in my home town at my alma mater, the Emily Carr Institute of Art + Design. The program looks really interesting, with really diverse topics: letterpress, Arabic typography, legibility, type design, type marketing, and a couple of specially Canadian presentations. These presentations caught my attention:
Well, I might as well copy and paste all of the presentations here! They are all interesting. There will also be an OpenType font development seminar and a two-day hands-on letterpress workshop Jim Rimmer – a Vancouver-based type designer and craftsman – at the tiny letterpress shop at Emily Carr. The keynote speaker is, of course, Robert Bringhurst, whose topic is ‘The tangibility of meaning.’ Other notable speakers include Erik Spiekermann, Gerard Unger, Akira Kobayashi, Roger Black, Jean-François Porchez, Frank E. Blokland and Underware. Canadian speakers include Nick Shinn, Jim Rimmer, John Hudson, and several others, including yours truly, who will be speaking about Chinese typography. I’ll see you there, eh? Register now: it’s only US$465 for ATypI members until June 30. 6/18/2003 02:05:00 AM Powered by Blogger
