Typografi og skrift

"Revised and expanded third edition of the essential guide to how typefaces are constructed and how to use them"--

nne bog er til dig, som arbejder med grafisk design og kommunikation. Du kan læse om de principper, forhold og detaljer, der er med til at skabe et effektivt typografisk resultat, hvad enten det handler om opgaver på papir- eller skærmmedier. Målet er at gøre dig bedre til at arbejde med typografi, så du kan træffe et kvalificeret valg af skrift, størrelser, linjelængder og -afstande osv. Valg, der tilsammen bliver til god typografisk kommunikation. Regler, principper og anbefalinger i denne bog er mere eller mindre 'medieuafhængige'. Selvom der kan være stor forskel på at designe et logo, en app, en præsentation, en emballage eller et website, er det alligevel stort set de samme principper, der gælder. Med de hensyn som det enkelte medie måtte kræve. Skrift og typografi er et uhyre omfangsrigt felt inden for grafisk design og kommunikation. Henrik Birkvig har udvalgt de vigtigste fagudtryk og regler og delt stoffet op i korte kapitler, så du kan tilegne dig det grundlæggende lidt ad gangen.

With Logos that Last, learn key concepts and transformational techniques for creating iconic visual branding.

Experimental Type deals with experimental design strategies in typography and graphic design. The issue presents projects incorporating the accident into the design process, works based on mistakes and inaccuracy, fonts that derive from a concept or a system-in the end work that experiment or goes unconventional ways in design. The publication showcases cutting edge approaches as well as new experimental procedures, from processing to ai-generated typefaces or variable fonts. The different works offer glimpses into spaces that were explored by pushing conventions, limitations, and thoughts to the next level.The issue is based on Slanted Magazine #40-Experimental Type, which sold out shortly after publication. This issue 2.0 is extended by some works and appears completely in black and white print.

"Wie ein Hund!" sagte er, es war, als sollte die Scham ihn überleben. Mit diesem Satz beendet Franz Kafka seinen Roman "Der Prozess" und benennt ein zentrales Thema seines Schaffens: Die Scham. Sie und viele andere mit dem Werk Kafkas verbundene Themen haben den Schriftsteller tatsächlich überlebt und als "kafkaesk" eine allgemeingültige und immerwährende Eigenständigkeit erlangt. Dort, wo Angst, Verzweiflung, unheimliche und klaustrophobische Verhältnisse, bürokratische Enge sowie Machtmissbrauch herrschen, wird oft eine gedankliche Brücke zu Kafka geschlagen. Daraus haben viele Künstler*innen, die im Zentrum der Ausstellung stehen, wichtige Impulse erhalten. In diesem Katalog werdenPositionen der Kunst des 20. und 21. Jahrhunderts zusammengefasst, die sich explizit oder implizit auf Kafka beziehen. Figuren aus Erzählungen und Romanen von Franz Kafka führen die einzelnen Themen ein: Der Offizier aus der "Strafkolonie", Gregor Samsa aus der "Verwandlung", Karl Rossmann aus "Der Verschollene", der Landvermesser K. aus dem "Schloss", das namenlose Tier aus dem "Bau" und natürlich Josef K. aus dem "Prozess".Der Katalog sprengt dabei die bildungsbürgerliche Kafka-Rezeption und richtet sich an ein breites Publikum. Comics führen niedrigschwellig in die Thematik ein und zeigen unterschiedliche Facetten der einzelnen Protagonisten aus Kafkas Schriften.Ed.: Helena Pereña.

I sequenziatori di nuova generazione stanno trasformando l'allevamento animale, consentendo studi di sequenziamento e risequenziamento dell'intero genoma a costi contenuti per identificare i marcatori genetici sull'intero genoma. La selezione genomica (GS) è un metodo di selezione assistita da marcatori, in cui i marcatori che coprono l'intero genoma sono usati simultaneamente per la valutazione genetica individuale attraverso i valori genomici stimati di allevamento (GEBV). La GS sta diventando il principale metodo di valutazione genetica per tutte le specie di bestiame e potrebbe presto sostituire completamente il sistema di valutazione genetica tradizionale. Negli ultimi anni, la GS è diventata un importante argomento di ricerca nell'allevamento di animali, piante e acquacoltura

Typographic Insights (Part Two) is a book for all those interested in fine typography and related articles on printing, copyrights, ancient alphabets and hints and suggestions on what type to use where.

Un coup de dés jamais n'abolira le hasard (Sculpture) (A Throw of the Dice Will Never AbolishChance) is a close copy of the 1914 edition of French symbolist Stéphane Mallarmé's poem of thesame name, but with all the words cut out by laser. Published sixteen years after the death ofthe poet, Un coup de dés became famous for its intimate combination of free verse and unusualtypographic layout. The twenty-page-long poem anticipated the interest in graphic design andconcrete poetry that emerged in the twentieth century.The preface of Michalis Pichler's version of Mallarmé's masterpiece features the entire poemwritten as a block of text with each line separated by a slash ( / ). Twelve double spreads follow,with immaculately cut-out windows standing in for the text. As you turn the pages, numerousshadows are generated by the cut-outs.The first edition of Michalis Pichler was published in 2008 and quickly sold out. This new editionmakes the artist book accessible again.Michalis Pichler is an artist operating on both sides of the imaginary border between visual artand literature and one of the founders and organizers of Miss Read and Conceptual Poetics Day.A monograph of his work was co-published by Spector Books and Printed Matter, Inc

This issue of Slanted is not about war. It's about amazing people from the creative industry in and from Ukraine, trying to live a "normal" life, working super hard and giving their best, showing that culture and design cannot be separated. Slanted Magazine #43 is dedicated to the Ukrainian design scene. Despite the impossibility of visiting studios on location as in previous issues of Slanted Magazine, extensive contacts in the Ukrainian design scene helped to put together this diverse and complex magazine. This selection of works by Ukrainian designers, typographers and graphic designers was carefully chosen from 1,500 submissions - they exemplify the independence and resilience of Ukrainian design.

The term "Studio Practice" not only describes the place where art and design are created. It also refers to the complex process between thinking and creating in which creativity is made possible on a daily basis. Every artist and every designer works differently, follows different routines and is inspired by different things, places and encounters. New works are created and formed from ever new sources.We talk to artists and graphic designers about the routines and techniques they use to shape their daily work and surprise themselves time and again. A magazine full of inspiring examples that takes readers on a journey to and through very different studio practices.Some Magazine is a visual culture publication that offers a behind-the-scenes look at the "invention of images" and is aimed at artists and designers. It is written, designed and produced by design and art students under the direction of Prof. Sven Völker and is an integral part of the experimental graphic design seminar at the University of Applied Sciences in Potsdam. Perhaps due to its dynamic nature as a student project, Some Magazine has successfully established itself in the indie magazine scene over the years.

In August 2023, Slanted Publishers is going on a trip to Tbilisi, Georgia and Yerevan, Armenia. The aim is to explore the impact of the war in Ukraine on the local culture and design scene. Numerous conversations and interviews provide deep insights into people's lives and work.The introduction is by Wojciech Górecki and Krzysztof Strachota, both respected experts in the region who work for the Center for East European Studies (OSW) and head the department for Turkey, the Caucasus and Central Asia. The photo series were contributed by students from Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts, who have maintained close links with Georgia for several years.

"Write your self. Your body must be heard." - Hélène Cixous  Charlotte Rohde (geb. 1992 in Aachen, lebt und arbeitet in Berlin) ist eine der stilprägenden Gestalterinnen ihrer Generation. Als Künstlerin, Typografin und Autorin untersucht sie, wie Schrift als Schnittstelle zwischen image und language feministische Diskurse in unseren Gesellschaften formt. Überlegungen zu Popkultur, Macht und Hyperfeminität, die Überzeichnung von Weiblichkeit, verknüpfen ihre multidisziplinären, aber stets sprachbasierten Arbeiten. Derzeit ist sie als Vertretungsprofessorin für Typografie und Schriftgestaltung an der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar (2022-2024) tätig. In ihrem Künstlerinnenbuch You Loved an Image , gestaltet und visuell interpretiert von Tatjana Stürmer, verbindet sie Texte zwischen Gedicht, Prosa, Essay und Tagebucheintrag, grafische und künstlerische Arbeit mit experimenteller Typografie und untersucht die Semiotik zeitgenössischer Weiblichkeit.   "Write your self. Your body must be heard."-Hélène Cixous  The designer Charlotte Rohde (b. Aachen, 1992; lives and works in Berlin) has helped define the style of her generation. A visual artist, typographer, and writer, she explores how typography as the interface between image and language informs feminist discourses in our societies. Reflections on pop culture, power, and hyperfemininity, the exaggeration of female features, tie her multidisciplinary yet always language-based works together. She is currently an associate professor at Bauhaus University, Weimar (2022-2024), where she teaches typography and type design. Her artists' book You Loved an Image , with designs and visual interpretations by Tatjana Stürmer, combines writings between poetry, prose, essay, and diary entry, graphic design and art, and experimental typography to examine the semiotics of contemporary femininity.

This publication was initiated during a Type Design brief at Zurich University of the Arts. Students were tasked to select an typeface published before 1999, to which they had a strong emotional connection, either positive or negative. Parallel to articulating personal emotions, students also collected information about the designer, type foundry, historical context and technology of production that led to the creation of the typeface. Then they proposed a contemporary redesign or revival. The design methodology was flexible, allowing for a range of approaches: from a classic revival in which the designers used their skills to digitize a typeface that was unavailable (or available in poor quality only), to a different design interpretation of the typeface. It was also possible to use the historical typeface as a mere formal or conceptual inspiration for a new creation. In different ways, then, the students investigated the definition, role and limitation of a revival typeface today.Their research and design processes are reflected in the texts which the students present in this publication, along with specimen pages for their typeface. The texts grew out of a two-weeks writing class at Zurich University of the Arts called Designers as Writers. Considering a broad range of writing practices pursued by designers long before (and also while), academic thesis writing took hold at art schools, from Jan Tschichold, Anna Simons and Hildegard Korger to Adrian Frutiger and Otl Aicher, from Hans-Rudolf Lutz and Fiona Ross to Zuzana Licko, Dexter Sinister, Alphabettes and more, the students familiarized themselves with (various combinations of) four basic approaches to writing: autobiographical, programmatic, historiographical and theoretical. These approaches informed daily writing exercises and staged impromptu readings in the evening, and eventually they also informed, to various degrees, the texts about the typefaces.

For over one hundred years, we humans of the post-postmodern times have turned ourselves into outstanding visual athletes. We made visuality our superpower. Now we are about to change the rules of the game right in the middle of it. Will all this result in some new weird kind of blindness?This issue of Some Magazine is dedicated to the skill, the craft and the pure joy of looking!With contributions by Blatant Space, Catelijne van Middelkoop, David Horvitz, Eleonora Marton, Melody "LeMoon" Bossan and Rob Lowe.

Three years after "Shape Grammars" (2020), Jannis Maroscheck returns with an updated look on machine-generated graphics and the core motif of mass produced ideas: "Latent Figures." Looking for forms of expression hidden between ancient runes and y2k logos, medieval monograms and clip art illustrations, hieroglyphs and stock icons, Maroscheck developed AI-based systems to merge the shared visual vocabulary designed by humans across eras, continents and cultures. The underlying process simulates human inspiration, but it is an analytical, objective process. The systems consider form as pure form. They draw no reference to real-world things. In doing so, they have a stubborn intensity to them, that seems less like human creativity and more like a strange, unstoppable force of nature.The resulting catalog is a dive into the inner workings of an AI that has seen nothing but graphic shapes and symbols. With this sort-of-dictionary, Maroscheck creates a visual language that blends pragmatic graphic design aesthetics with elusive imagery. A collection of shapes that often approximate something we know or can understand, but their meaning doesn't quite want to resolve, they revolve around themselves, somewhere between meaning and nonsense. Offering a space to project ones own imagination and come across new ideas. "When I think about it, something like a graphic form, black and white, defined only by its outline, feels quite limited in what it can express, what it can communicate. Then I look at it, like a blob of ink, continuously reshaping itself, in flux, automatic and open in all directions." Jannis Maroscheck

The world is made up of a thousand colors, and no sound is like another. It's noisy! We have finally accepted the dissonances because we are not all cut from the same cloth.

Slanted #42-BOOKS ist ein Magazin über Bücher. Ist die Zukunft des (gedruckten) Buches an seine sinnliche Qualität gebunden ist? Wie können schöne Bücher ihren Platz in den Medien und der Gesellschaft sichern? Wie sind Inhalt, Medium und Form miteinander verbunden? Ist Herstellungs- und Gestaltungsqualität neben ihrer Funktionalität nur noch als Marketingargument zu verstehen? Slanted stellt in dieser Ausgabe experimentelle Gestaltungsstrategien vor - Bücher, die im Gegensatz zu klassischen Büchern unkonventionelle Wege gehen. Gesucht werden Unfälle, Arbeiten, die auf Fehlern und Ungenauigkeiten beruhen, Cutting-Edge-Ansätze sowie neue experimentelle Verfahren, von der Verarbeitung bis zum KI-generierten Inhalt. Im Gegensatz dazu präsentiert Slanted Publishers zeitlose Buchgestaltungen, bei denen der Inhalt die Form bestimmt.
