Twice as many at AdobeMax

Our time at Adobe’s awesome Adobe Max conference was mind-blowing! It was absolutely one of the coolest conferences that I’ve ever attended and it really was an honour to be able to have our very own Type Camp in the program. All 50 spots in our workshop quickly sold out far... Continue Reading.

Still Giddy from Galiano

There have been many wonderful camps since this whole adventure started, and, to be honest, they just keep getting better. Australia was amazing, and then so was California (both of them), and then Bauhaus, and Japan, and all the others (too many to list!). India this spring was incredible and... Continue Reading.

The morning was dedicated to... Continue Reading.

Incredible India 2014

I’ve just returned home from my time in India and I can honestly say that I wish I were back there! It’s not just because of the palm trees or the warm sun, but rather the fantastic Indian folks that we worked with from Tara Books & Footprint B&B, and... Continue Reading.

A Very Fabulous Web Type West

Not only did Type Camp’s first ever conference sell out, but it was a day that was far more successful and fun than I had even hoped. The space was great, the speakers were energetic (& hilarious, I’m talking to you, Brian Warren!) and the packed audience was engaged.

Bickham Script

I’ve been looking for a place to write about typography, but more little tidbits of history along with practical use tips, and I’ve found it with the Adobe Type Blog. There will... Continue Reading.
