Typesetting TV is a web-based documentary series highlighting graphic designers and the cities in which they live.

Here is Episode 1:

There are few designers with a more unique story than Austrian designer Elisabeth Kopf. From working as a taxi driver in Vienna, to becoming a self taught photographer in Hong Kong, her path towards design could hardly be called traditional.
However, after the birth of her son Luc, her natural talent in the field of graphic design was brought to life. What followed was an explosion of originality—and a completely new take on graphic design.
The music packaging in this video is a perfect example of her originality. Beautifully conceptual and innovative, this project not only shows the power of design, but also the importance of looking at the world—and the design brief—differently.
Check out Elisabeth’s amazing work on her website: elisabethkopf.com
Note: Special thanks to the wonderfully talented Elisabeth Kopf and Kaethe Ivansich, as well as Elisabeth’s son Luc for their amazing hospitality. It was truly a highlight of season 1.

Darren Nguyen created a flyer that goes along with the folding theme of the 20 FOLD BFA Graphic Design Show. The idea was to connect all the information together by creating one simple fold. This flyer has two folds (front and back) and has four different views, all with different information.

Fonts used are Futura and Verlag.

UPrinting Flyer Printing can help you design and print your own flyers online.

Valentina typeface is a lovely tribute to Pedro Arilla‘s grandmother in the form of typography and therefore bears her name. Valentina is a classic didone that follows some of the canons proposed by Bodoni in the eighteenth century but incorporates many of the characteristics of the antique Spanish punches of the time. It is a complete font of 457 glyphs, in which there are 125 alternative lower cases or the 46 ligatures.

You can get this font and 99 more for free at the great research article by Awwwards.

MA Contemporary Typographic Media is a one-year, full time postgraduate course at the London College of Communication. It offers the opportunity to investigate visible language through the intensive study of typography. The programme is nationally and internationally unique in its provision, taking a broad multi-disciplinary and exploratory approach to both the design of type and its typographic implementation.

The course is centred on the development of extensive independent student research projects which are informed by a programme of related practical and theoretical studies. These provide opportunities for gaining new knowledge and developing a valuable range of transferable skills.

The course builds on LCC’s longstanding and widely acknowledged reputation as an international centre of excellence for typographic design education.
The history of Postgraduate provision within the College (formerly the London College of Printing) begins with the advanced typography course instigated by Anthony Froshaug and Ernest Hoch in 1972 and is represented most recently by the MA Typo/graphic Studies which was revalidated as MA Graphic Design in 2004.
