The Type Directors Club is proud to announce the publication of Typography 32. The latest Annual devoted exclusively to typography presenting the finest work in the field from 2010. Selected from more than 1,500 international submissions to TDC Communication Design 2011, the 208 winning designs are models of excellence and innovation in contemporary type design.
TDC members have already received their annual for free.
The year’s selection encompasses a wide range of categories, including books, magazines, corporate identity, logotypes, stationery, annual reports, video and Web graphics, and posters. Two new categories were introduced this year, self-promotion and experimental/unpublished.
Also new this year was the introduction of the Best in Show award. Judges were asked to decide upon one piece of work that they thought best represented the year. Niklaus Troxler was the winner for his poster Ullmann Kühne.
The 360 page Annual, designed by Mucca Design, displays each winning entry in full color and is accompanied by complete information about the designer, client, typography, and more. This year’s volume also features the results of the club’s fourteenth annual type design competition, TDC Typeface design 2011 and TDC Title Design 2011, the movie titles competition, and includes a special index listing of the principal typefaces used in the winning designs and the names of their designers.
TDC Communication Design 2011 was chaired by Roberto de Vicq (deVicqdesign). The jury included: Art Chantry; Arem Duplessis (The New York Times); Fons Hickmann (Fons Hickmann m23, Berlin); Mario Hugo; Jason Kernevich (The Heads of State); Angela Voulangas, and Bruce Willen (Post Typography).
TDC Typeface Design 2011 was chaired by James Montalbano (Terminal Design). His jury included: Jos Buivenga (exlibris Font Foundry, The Netherlands); Jessica Hische, Steve Matteson (Ascender Corp.), and Charles Nix (Scott & Nix).
TDC Title Design 2011 was chaired by Jakob Trollbäck (Trollbäck & Company). The jury included: Karin Fong (Imaginary Forces); Randy Balsmeyer (Big Film); Timmy Fisher (MK12), and Mark Kudsi (Motion Theory).
The Judges’ Choice sections feature the winning entries that have been singled out as each judge’s favorite; these pieces are accompanied not only by the judges’ comments but also by statements from the designers about the creative process involved in developing their work.
These components–along with chairperson statements by Roberto de Vicq de Cumptich (TDC Communication Design 2011), James Montalbano (TDC Typeface design 2011), and Jakob Trollbäck (TDC Title Design 2011)–exemplify the enormous vitality of the ever-changing typography profession today.
A special section contains the seventh TDC catalog designed by Paul Rand, reproduced in its entirety; it was published in 1962 and records winning designs completed over 1961. From 1955 to 1978, the competition catalog was produced as a relatively modest booklet. In 1979, after twenty-five years, the TDC Annual became a book.
Now available at Amazon and all good bookstores.
