Education LECTURE SERIES: SUMMER OF DESIGN MATTHEW CARTER AND ANDREW BLAUVELT THURSDAY, JULY 17, 2003, 7 PM FREE AUDITORIUM |
From the Walker Art Center's monthly calendar to magazines, newspapers, and the Internet, Matthew Carter's type designs are pervasive. He has created typefaces for companies including Microsoft and Apple and publications such as Time, Newsweek, U.S. News & World Report, the Guardian, Sports Illustrated, Wired, the Washington Post, and U.S. telephone directories. In 1995 he created the typeface Walker, which has received great critical acclaim for its inventiveness. Print magazine praised Carter as "perhaps the most accomplished type designer working in America today." For this talk, Carter and Design Director Andrew Blauvelt, curator of Strangely Familiar, will discuss the recent history and future direction of design at the Walker. Work by its in-house design studio and its commissions have been widely recognized by the American Center for Design, and the American Institute of Graphic Arts. The recipient of numerous honors and awards, the studio was recently nominated for the Chrysler Award for Design Innovation and was one of four international design studios featured in Design Now: Graphics at the Design Museum, London. Cosponsored by the Society of Typographic Aficionados in conjunction with TypeCon 2003.
