The Conference :
At this year's conference Ken Garland will be nominating his top five unsung graphic design masters 1950–2000:
"I have chosen five—it could have been fifteen—four of whom will be revealed only on the day; the fifth is Alfred Wainwright, the author, artist, designer and publisher of his 'Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells', and I hope the other four will understand if, given the limited time at my disposal, I give him the lion's share of it. My choices are, of course, personal, but I hope to convince my hearers that they are well worthy of their consideration."
Ken Garland completed his studies in graphic design at the Central School of Arts and Crafts, London, in the 1950s. He was Art Editor of Design magazine from 1956-62, when he left to establish his own graphic design studio as Ken Garland and Associates. Ken has written several books on design, contributed many articles to design periodicals in the UK, US, Europe and Japan, and has taught and lectured all over the world. His photographic work has been seen in a number of one-man exhibitions; the most recent being Metaphors, a portfolio of text and image (Brighton and Coventry, 2002, Hull, 2003, Glasgow and Portugal, 2004); The children of Bangladesh/The rickshas of Bangladesh (Coventry and Reading, 2006).
For anybody interested in type and graphics, and their place in the world, our conference is the event to see and be seen at.
Come and join us for edification, conversation and visual provocation.
