TDC49 2003 Call for Entries

Chairman's Invitation

What can I tell you about typography? If you received this Call for Entries, you love great type. You are obsessed with its expression. When you see it, you get jealous and wish you'd done it. You celebrate a colleague's having gotten something wonderful approved. You even get disappointed for realizing you'd never have thought of that.

The TDC49 panel of judges come from seven design disciplines. They have different points of view but share a passion and intensity for typography and design.

Submissions to the TDC competition are often outrageously original and always fascinating. If you think you've got a great piece from the past year, enter it. Make us jealous and a little disappointed for not having thought of that ourselves.

Alexander W. White, Chairman, TDC49
