TYPE CAMP INFORMATION DESIGN
Jay Rutherford studied design in Kingston, Ontario and Halifax, Nova
Scotia (with 13 years in between), but learned more on the job doing
film stripping, computerized typesetting mark-up (long before DTP), page
layout and graphic design. Jay has taught design-related subjects from
silk-screen printing to set design to detailed typography and
information design, amongst others. After running his own design studio
in Canada for some years, Jay ran away to Germany in 1992 to join the
MetaDesign circus. There he helped expand the Meta type family and drew
an italic for Frutiger Condensed, FF Transit from FontShop. The Meta
experience convinced Jay to stay in Germany, where he has been professor
of Visual Communications at the Bauhaus University Weimar since 1993.
Between 2003 and 2005 he was also Vice-Dean of the Design Faculty at the
Free University of Bozen/Bolzano in northern Italy.
