Type Tasting at SXSW, Austin, Texas

Saturday March 8th
Type Tasting drop in workshops in which participants get creative to reinterpret letters inspired by streetsigns and signage from around the world. The variation of signage styles reflect social and historical development of typography in each region and will enable us to build up a visual representation of global typography trends. Participants will each be provided with a simple template for a letter which they will customise using a range of markmaking and collage materials. The event will be eight hours long, but participants can drop in at any time.
Speaker: Sarah Hyndman

‘Photographed’ by Deborah Clerkin

“I chose the word ‘Photographed’ as it is one of my greatest passions. As a photographer images are very important to me, capturing moments that become lasting and loved memories. Photography has evolved over the years. From traditional 35 mm film, digital SLR’s and compacts to mobile phones utilising apps like Instagram, photography is accessible to almost anyone in many ways.”
