FTAG: Fragmented Type Conference 2010
***FRAG: Fragmented Type Conference 2010
***X-AM: Fragmented Type Conference 2010
FRAG is a typographic conference designed to bring together beginners and professionals of all artistic backgrounds for the purpose of learning and discovering new ways to fragment existing typographic forms. Participants will attend lectures, workshops, critiques and social events with the intentions of gaining inspiration and growing as a designer and as a person. Get ready to shake some shift (keys) up!
X-am is a conference designed to open your eyes and allow you to take a close look at how subtle changes in a set of variables can radically alter a typographic form (for better or worse)! This three day conference will prove to be inspirational and hopefully allow you to generate new ideas for the construction of your own unique and personalized means of typesetting.
RICK GRIFFITH, DESIGN DIRECTOR
For just under 20 years, Rick Griffith has sought clarity about art and communication through the broad discipline of design. His projects & commercial works and projects have been cited in several national and international resources including TDC, AIGA 365, Print, Dwell, and Good Magazine. He has works published by Rotovision in the UK and Lawrence King and Rockport in the US.
His and MATTER's work is included in the AIGA National Design Archives, the Denver Art Museum's Design permanent collection, The Butler Library of Rare Books and Manuscripts at Columbia University, and the Tweed Museum of Art at the University of Minnesota, Duluth.
During the last 15 years, he has taught graphic design and typography for the University of Colorado, Denver, The Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design, and most recently, The University of Denver. He serves as lecturer and panelist for conferences and presents frequently on either his method for teaching and practicing as a designer/typographer or the model of professional practice, leadership, and constant experimentation of the studio and type laboratory called MATTER.
| If intelligence is equated with the knowledge that no answer is absolute, if it requires a constantly questioning mind, then MATTER is one intelligent design practice. In fact, MATTER isn't just practicing design: MATTER is designing design. We are architects of the written word who believe that near every design challenge we encounter can be solved through effective representations of language. Through custom typography, and design, we strategize and implement effective communication vehicles to produce enduring solutions. |
