New book by Icograda Past President Giancarlo Iliprandi

LETTERANDO/LETTERING is a collection of the covers for the magazine Serigrafia, designed between 1986 and 1996, in a period where computer graphics were not jet available in Italy. The covers were not only a means to explain to silkscreen printers the versatility of a printing method but also the importance and aestethical qualities of signs, letters and typefaces. The written pages introduce a sort of history of typography or, better, a tribute to the great typeface designers of the past.

Linotype announces its first Arabic Type Design Competition

Linotype Library has the pleasure to invite designers and calligraphers from around the world
to take part in its first Arabic Type Design Competition. The competition is the first of its kind in recent years and is a response to the growing publishing demands in the Arab world. Recent developments in font technology have opened new doors for Arabic typography and have eased out the process of developing a complex script like Arabic. Now that technical limitations have been conquered, the remaining challenge is to seek out a new vision of Arabic typography that is free from past limitations, and is in direct contact with the everyday life and usage of the Arabic script. The competition aims to encourage and support the development of Arabic typography and to detect and publish new and original trends in Arabic type design.

To these ends, the type design competition offers the winners attractive prizes as well as the chance to gain worldwide popularity through Linotype Library?s marketing activities. Clear and fair license agreements are the basis for this relationship.

The jury is made up of renowned calligraphers, type designers, and academics who have each offered a great contribution to the development of Arabic typography. They are Samir Sayegh (Lebanon), Fiona Ross (UK), Mamoun Sakkal (Syria/USA), Kris Holmes (USA), and Huda Abi Fares Smitshuijzen (Lebanon/Netherlands). Also participating as an honorary guest juror is the master calligrapher and type designer Hermann Zapf.

For details about the submission of typefaces and for further details please contact +49 (0) 6172 484 2460 or by mail to contest@linotype.com

Son statut enfantin de discipline ‘invisible’ et de chose intangible est encore plus menacé par ce mélange des genres – Philippe Quinton ‘En toutes circonstances, il serait judicieux de rappeler que les solutions apportées par les graphistes ne sont pas visuelles mais d’abord conceptuelles, organisationnelles et méthodologiques – Gilbert Zalc ‘On veut bien payer la technique mais pas la réflexion et l’impalpable’ - Stéphane Darricau ‘On se demande comment il est encore possible de considérer le graphisme comme un champ professionnel homogène’ - Labomatic ‘Démontrons qu’un théâtre, un musée ou une école n’ont nul besoin de singer une marque ou un produit pour se “vendre”’ - Pierre Bernard ‘Le monde de la pub cucufie le nôtre, au fur et à mesure’ - Brice D’Antras ‘Ne pourrait-on pas envisager un enseignement du graphisme commercial dans les école de commerce?’ - Pierre Fresnault-Deruelle ‘La pratique de la description, à la fois nécessaire et insatisfaisante, entraîne vite, en effet, l’analyse à s’interroger sur ses trouvailles ou les lacunes de son entreprise’ – Rick Poynor ‘Les graphistes eux-même ne s’attendent pas à ce qu’on les critique, surtout s’ils sont habitués à des articles portant aux nues leurs réalisations’ - Electronic Shadow ‘Multimédia’, un mot étrange et très intéressant car il contient intrinsèquement un paradoxe fondamental’ - Ian Holcroft ‘En tant que graphiste, suis-je suffisamment prêt et volontaire, réfléchi, compétent et critique, pour faire preuve des qualités particulières attendues d’un graphiste auteur?’ - Thierry Van Kerm ‘Dans de nombreux pays émergents ou en développement, il n’existe pour les designers aucune représentation collective’ - Lewis Blackwell ‘Les graphistes créent des espaces pour les mots sans travailler étroitement avec les écrivains.
