EXPLORATIONS IN TYPOGRAPHY (2nd Edition)
by Carolina de Bartolo
There are so many introductory books on typography and type design, and particular titles are often recommended to students. It’s not to say that the usual classics aren’t worthwhile (they are), but this is a good one that deserves notice.
Busy times balance out with more relaxed times. It's been a fruitful year and I couldn't be more grateful to work on personally fulfilling projects with treasured creative partnerships, as shared on Instagram. It's also a time of great reading, learning, inspiration and creative explorations: online classes with Skillshare, web presentations from TypeEd, Typographics NYC & Type @ Cooper, DesignThinkers came to Vancouver, TypeBrigade meetups continue to raise the bar, and more outstanding design titles enter my Goodreads queue.
Clients. Some gripe about them and others have relationships closer than family. Sometimes, we ARE them.
Truth be told, designers need clients. We earn a living from them, we both teach each other and more often, we learn something new and do our best work in collaboration with them. Clients become friends and bring out the best in us, which is why I love and appreciate my clients. So how can I grow our relationship and help them to understand design better?
