TDC Salon: May 28, 2015. “The Return of the Type Director” with Elizabeth Carey Smith
This salon was a call to action for type-obsessed designers! Elizabeth Carey Smith encourages others to change their trajectory toward a more type-filled career, and to create cultural change in the workplace by empower one’s design practice. She provides a brief overview of Type Directors of the Past, and commiserates about the current disconnect between mainstream interest in type and its authority in studios and agencies. Elizabeth introduces ways to think about type direction and how it can apply to one’s own career.
