”What a wonderful thing!” – People from around the world, gathered in Berlin to listen on people from around the world, talking on the subject: Typography…

This years edition of Typoberlin was a 3-day extravaganza  of thrilling talks, lectures and discussions of the freely interpretated subsubject Image. Pioneers, nerds and generally highly respected designs and innovators gave each of there contributions – Ranging from biographical presentations of what the individual had created through a lifetime, to problemsolving on specific typographical issues over presentations of interesting individual projects.  Below you can get an overview of some of the highlights:

 Monotype collection poster, created på ‘Ed’ Benguiat – who stressed to point: that it’s all right to steal inspiration as long as the person you are stealing from is dead… :)

Stefan Sagmeister (sagmeister.com) talked about different client productions…

… and his personal project www.thingsihavelearnedinmylife.com – working creatively with his diary and him self as his main source of inspiration.

Christian Schwarts (christianschwartz.com)  talked about his work on the typeface Giorgio for the New York Times Magazine, and his collaboration with Speakerman (no picture, since the photopolicy of this blog is not to distrbute pictures of work, from people whose wicked plan is to laminate the earth …)

Kim Haemin (kimhaemin.info) – A young Korean programmer and artist, showed some of her work that explored experiences that connected our different ways of sensing, through touch, seeing and listening… Cool shit!

“That’s all folks!”
