SHOW OF THE WEEK

just our type
The ladies of hml have been busy so we have pulled what is now known as a 'Bettina' (those of you that watch mediawatch will understand). Mind you the real Bettina wouldn't tell you that the below is lifted straight from the press release. We promise to return to our regular and original rants tomorrow! xxx-

The Tokyo Type Directors Club has been in existence for the past 20 years and has consistently challenged what is thought of as typography, typo-graphics and type design whilst remaining a bastion of the more traditional craft of typography. The aim of the Club and the Award is to firmly establish the field of type-direction in the visual expression of letters, reaching far beyond conventional character designing. The exhibition reflects the different categories of the award with design raging from posters, editorial/book design, moving image, packaging/signage & display, typedesign and experimental work and is both designed and curated by John Warwicker of the London-based design collective and club member, Tomato.


The exhibition, +&-=X showcases 20 years of typo-graphics from the Tokyo Type Directors Club, and will expose Australian audiences to recent and past prize-winning designs from around the globe.
