Dingbats
Friday, February 1st, 2008Dr. Wifey is teaching a course that is covering the use of fonts and was looking to see if it would be a good movie to show in class. I found it to be a great overview of the powers of font, and it reminded me of the excitement I felt when I took a class in typography almost a decade ago at Mass Art. Speaking of design: Chip Kidd is having a book signing at Philly’s Central library on February 14th at 7 pm. His new work of fiction is called “The Learners.” Full disclosure – he is the uncle of my brother-in-law’s fiancee, Claire. I really enjoyed his first novel – “the Cheese Monkeys,” and I saw a number of his book covers displayed at the Boston ICA’s show “Design Life Now.”
