Spend a long weekend with SVA instructor Gail Anderson and her always-cheerful co-teacher, Josh Hester, and create your own short motion piece in After Effects.

Workshop 2
June 4

In exploring the creation of a stencil typeface, students will design A–Z or a–z of the Roman alphabet, including numbers. Each letter will be applied to thick card and cut out. Students will apply their new stencil typeface to various media by choosing an appropriate word or sentence (bearing in mind that ‘flower shop’ doesn’t read as well as ‘wet paint’ if stenciled). There will be a group introduction as well one-to-one tutorials throughout the day, concluding with a mini exhibition and critique of the final designs.

Requirements (What to bring)
Laptops, stencil card or thick paper, pens, pencils rulers, scalpels and general drawing equipment. We need paint/ink and brushes but we can all share these.

Students will apply the final work to poster format.

If you think you’ve got enough energy to be part of this internet-free ants’ nest for one day, you’ll experience that type design can be a thrilling experience if everybody kicks the same ass. We’re gonna make 1 font together, and that can be as electrifying as Sylvester Stallone in a B-movie. Especially when there are 20 captains on board and when the real KISS principle will be executed: Keep It Straight, Stupid.

Requirements (What to bring):
Some scissors and pens/pencils.
But mostly: put on old clothes!

About the instructor (Bas Jacobs):
Underware is a pan-European design collective that has been creating versatile fonts for more than ten years, blazing its own trail in the design world.

DRUPA
The world premiere of the 58th TDC show will feature with its own stand in Hall 6 (B 06); there, creative suggestions, artistic food for thought and the latest trends in visual communication can all be found amidst the wealth of technology and innovation. For the se-cond time the stand has been designed by students of the university of applied sciences in Würzburg under the guidance of TDC committee member Prof. Gertrud Nolte. The involvement of the students goes beyond the preparation and design of the stand: they helped build it and are in charge of the TDC show on site throughout the 14 days of drupa.

In 2012, works with the title “Awarded for Typographic Excellence” can be seen in the drupa cube in Hall 7A. Diego Vainesman, Presi-dent of TDC, and Carol Wahler, the longstanding and experienced drupa TDC director, are travelling from New York especially in order to congratulate the German winners personally on 03 May at 3.00 pm. An award in the TDC was for many designers the start of a great career because the selection criteria of the TDC show are strict, and the jury procedure is considered to be impartial.

drupa – the pinnacle for the printing industries

Every four years, hundreds of thousands of experts come to Düsseldorf for drupa. It’s an unmissable opportunity for seeing all the latest technologies in media production and processing live in action. No other trade fair has such a vast, fundamental economic and technological impact as drupa. drupa is a constant reflection of the printing and paper sectors.

We can look back on a millennial drupa in every sense of the word! Just from looking at the numbers, it becomes evident that this 12th staging reached new dimensions. Over 428,000 trade visitors from 171 countries – including over 200.000 from overseas – , more than 4,100 journalists from all over the globe, 1,957 exhibiting companies from 49 nations, and an exhibition space of over 1.7 million square feet- these are some record-breaking figures from the last drupa. But what’s quantity without quality? Exhibitors and visitors gave drupa 2000 top ratings; time and time again they referred to it as the “best drupa ever.” And it is true that drupa 2000 was marked by an unexpectedly high eagerness to invest, which rocketed the international printing and media industry right into the 3rd millennium.
