TDC52 : The 52nd Annual Type Directors Club Exhibition

Extended Extended Extended Deadline :: Wednesday 18 January 2006

Chairman’s Statement :

Most of the letters in the alphabet are just letters that in combination create words, X is one of those that have a meaning beyond its role as one of the 26 letters. The X represents the unknown element in a mathematic formula. It is our task as typographers/designers to solve the design equation that we are given by our clients.

Finding out what X means, completes the equation. Welcome to the Type Directors Club 52nd competition, be(come) part of the well known.

Diego Vainesman
Chairman, TDC52
