The Graphic Studio launches the first edition of Type Design Event

The Graphic Studio recommends the type design event, which will take place at UNA Galeria within UNArte Bucharest, in September.

The event’s special guests are two young professionals from Germany, with academic and practical expertise.

During a one day event, each speaker will have two hours during which the proposed theme will be debated, and one hour will be allocated to discussions with participants. The presentation will be accompanied by projections and an exhibition.

The theme debated will be Typeface: from a certain point to the computer’s toolbar

Students from the Academy of Fine Arts, art-directors and dtp professionals from publishing companies, publishing houses, creative and web agencies will take part in the workshop.

Industries such as publishing [newspapers, magazines, periodical publications, books], advertising&public relations cumulatively have a turnover of over 500 million euros. Each of those industries uses graphic design for business card layout, leaflets, posters, press ads or big sized mash. The costs of the creative sector increase annually, therefore there is a significant interest in developing a career in this field.

The need for this workshop is to complement educational efforts in the professional formation. Particular efforts of learning through tutorials can be difficult and long term. Concomitantly, although our professionals are able to become competitive on the web&graphic design sector, they are not organized in associations where their expertise can be shared, and at the same time, the experienced professionals are not willing to teach and learn, believing that their know-how is sufficient.

The well organized systems from abroad allow each graduate to face the demands of the work sector and to use the latest programs. The time allocated to education and innovation, as well as tradition, is superior in the European countries compared to Romania.

The project is an initiative of The Graphic Studio, formed by two graduates of The Academy of Fine Arts, graphic sections.
