The Conference :

Bad Type :

You are invited to submit papers that take a walk on the typographic wild side, which explore not what is lofty, proper and good in the graphic arts, but that which is mad, bad and dangerous to know.

Bad Type may be interpreted as that which does not fit with convention and could include work created by typographic dissidents and revolutionaries, or material used for rebellious or seditious purposes. Bad type might deal with work that purposely disobeys normal typographic customs to achieve wayward ends or it may cover material created to facilitate naughty, mischievous or roguish purposes. It could also include the curious work of amateurs with no particular design talents. The theme of Bad Type may be applied to individuals, their work, the purpose behind their work or the processes used to produce it.

If you have a topic that does not fit the typographic norm, then we would be delighted to hear from you.

We are looking not only for Conference speakers, but also for people who might wish to exhibit material or who would like to create graphic or art-installations on the theme of Bad Type.

Please send an outline of your proposed talk/exhibition/installation in not more than 300 words to:
