Introduction to multisensory typography
Learn the science of designing for all the senses to make your branding more memorable
A multisensory discovery session designed to stimulate all your senses. Ideal for designers and students of all levels who want to learn more about the science of communicating more effectively by harnessing all the senses.
As featured in Design Week’s Picks of the Month
Learn how typography interacts with all your senses and how it can even alter what you experience. Sarah will talk about some of her research and you’ll take part in multisensory demonstrations.
This is not just a font, it’s also an idea, a smell, a song, a memory, a feeling, a personality, a warning, a taste…
The different shapes and styles of the typefaces that you read every day trigger responses in your brain that link to all of your senses.
