Typography and publication: don’t be afraid of ‘characters’
Let’s go font shopping!
- How do you choose the right typefaces for your publication?
- What are the ‘legibility habits’ of different fonts?
- What are the secrets of visually appealing publications?
- What:
- Experienced graphic designer Nadine Kessler will guide us through the world of type and discuss the typography practicalities and pitfalls we may encounter when preparing publications – from an A4 flyer or a school newsletter to a more formal publication. She will discuss the application of fonts in different media, and look at readers’ perceptions. Nadine will illustrate her talk with a visual presentation, and will be happy to answer your questions and discuss particular areas of interest.
- A light supper will be provided and you can purchase drinks at the bar.
- Who:
- Nadine Kessler is an artist and graphic designer who trained in Switzerland. With a passion for community, language and the environment, prior to moving to Tasmania Nadine lived in Central Australia for three years, working with indigenous communities as a resource developer.
