Type Camps 2008
IN 2008 THERE WILL BE THREE SEPARATE EVENTS AND, as interest demands, we
hope to develop even more specialty short-term and week-long events. One
example of a specialized week is Type Camp Info Design, our effort to
make the rapidly emerging topic of Information Design more accessible to
area students and design instructors. Additionally, we have also
expanded the travelling aspect of the camp with Type Camp India, a two-week design studio while immersed
in the rich visual typographic culture of Southern India.
It is the aim of these excursions to help design and typography students from any area of the world to have access to the vast and awe-inspiring resources in settings beyond their school library or city gallery. With Type Camp India, we combine visual design information within a cultural context, an approach not as prevalent as one would wish.
