Rough cut screened at TypeCon

Hi everyone!

I'm just back from TypeCon in Seattle, where I screened a rough cut of Graphic Means, and gave a brief talk on the democratization of typesetting in the 60s and 70s. I also got the chance to meet with a number of people I've admired online for some time. What a great conference!

I'm now armed with some fantastic feedback and will return to editing and working on the motion design bits for the film. Then, in just a few weeks, I'm headed to Warsaw, Poland for AtypI, where I will do one more work-in-progress screening. If you are going as well, please say "hi"!

For those wondering about a release date—stay tuned. It will be this Winter, but no exact date yet.

I'm also working with type designer, Riley Cran, on some fun merchandise, which I hope to announce in my next update.

In the meantime, follow along online for regular graphic tidbits

Here I am starting my talk with a little background on why I have a particular interest in the democratization of typesetting. I'm an independent press designer myself—first my own zine, Rabble Rouser, and later, I became the art director for Bitch magazine.

Industrious button makers!

Some great buttons made with dry transfer lettering that was originally intended for use on transparencies for an overhead projector!
