I’ll present 60 typographic designs created for Yale University, including work by Ed Fella, Matthew Carter, Karel Martens, Wim Crouwel, Julia Born, Linda van Deursen, Metahaven, Sulki and Min, and Ahn Sang Soo.Īs Director of Design at Yale University Art Gallery and a former graduate student at Yale, I knew firsthand that the museum did not actively collect or present work by graphic designers. 1:25 pmĬhristopher Sleboda Seven Years and Sixty Typographic Covers at Yale University Combining new technologies like variable fonts with new techniques that surpass the typographic and experience capabilities of more traditional eBook formats, we’ll show an entirely new way to interact with books in electronic form that feels appropriate on all kinds of digital devices.
