Typografi og skrift

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.

"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.

Slanted Magazine #43 is focused to the Ukrainian design scene. Despite the impossibility of visiting studios on location as in previous issues of Slanted magazine, extensive contacts with the Ukrainian design scene helped to put together a diverse and complex magazine. The featured works of Ukrainian designers, typographers and graphic designers exemplify the independence and resilience of Ukrainian design.

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.

Sur la base de l'ouvrage standard de Hans Eduard Meier (1923-2015) « Le développement des caractères » (publication primaire en 1959), les éditeurs ont remanié, complété et étendu le livre pour l'adapter aux connaissances scientifiques les plus récentes.Meier a suivi et décrit l'évolution de l'écriture latine en partant d'inscriptions phéniciennes, en passant par l'écriture lapidaire grecque, et en dressant un arc de cercle jusqu'aux caractères d'imprimerie les plus importants du début du 20e siècle.La nouvelle publication « ABC - Histoire et forme de l'écriture latine » donne une vue d'ensemble du développement de l'écriture latine, de la naissance des caractères latins jusqu'aux trans-formations à travers les siècles, et à sa forme numérique contemporaine. Les auteurs ont ajouté une généalogie, ainsi que les genres de tous les caractères latins, et quelques jalons importants du 20e siècle et du début du 21e siècle qui manquaient jusqu'à présent.Le livre est une référence pour les étudiant·e·s qui s'intéressent au design ou à la communication visuelle, ainsi que pour tous ceux et toutes celles qui voudraient avoir une idée des lettres de notre alphabet dans les différentes époques.

"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. Yet, we live under the same sun together.

September 19, 2021 marked the centennial of the First National Exhibition of Popular Arts held in Mexico. One hundred years of complex and complicated academic work and institutional practice on the handcrafted object and those who create it. One hundred years that went practically unnoticed; oblivion caused, perhaps, because both the academic work and the discourse of the Mexican State that recognizes, since then, the handcrafted object as an element of national identity, as part of the country's cultural heritage and the economic sustenance of thousands of families in the countryside and cities, contrasts drastically with its real development and the living conditions of those who create handcrafted objects.

The exhibition "(RE)VERSVS. Reuse and Redemption in the Patrimony of the Vatican Library and in the Art of Sidival Fila" is the result of a profound reflection by the artist and the curators of the Vatican Library on the theme of reuse - redemption, conceived as two different, and at times opposing, possibilities of using and valorising an ancient, or simply previous or extraneous, material in a new and different way. It presents a recovery of fragments and discards of manuscripts, textiles, marbles and other materials that, in the case of reuse, defines their new purpose, while in the case of redemption celebrates them in themselves, in their ontological value, regardless of their possible new utility. The exhibition concludes in the Sala Barberini with the site-specific installation 'Natura Artificialis', a work that represents the Brazilian artist's integral vision, the starting point of his critical view of the human race and the erroneous idea of nature seen solely as being at the service of man.Ed.: Cristiano Grisogoni.
