Type Camp New Zealand
22–26 January 2012, Auckland, NZ
If you’re burned out from work, want to learn more about type, or just need a relaxing vacation with other Typophiles, then this camp is the one for you!
Type Camp New Zealand is an educational and professional training event that will strengthen your typography. We dedicate five full days in the heart of lovely Auckland to discussions, projects, visits, talks, and workshops, that are all focused on helping you to rediscover creativity in typography.
Experienced instructors will share their professional processes and typographic knowledge with you to help you to become a better typographer and a better designer. Each day features seven hours of practical seminars and hands-on workshops that cover letterform structure, letter anatomy, typeface selection, visual context and cues, typesetting techniques, and more.
We’ll even spend some inky time at a nearby letterpress studio so that you can understand how and why typography has developed over the centuries.
Our instructors will assist you with your current projects, analyse your past projects, and help you plan for your future projects, all within the widening realm of typography and design..
The teaching team for Type Camp New Zealand is head of www.typographica.org and former FontShop Type Director, Stephen Coles; the genius typographic expert ‘TypeGirl’, Tiffany Wardle; Brazilian lettering artist and type designer, Marina Chaccur; and Type Camp founder and international typography educator and writer, Dr Shelley Gruendler.
