As I mentioned in my previous post, I was on my way to TYPOLondon for Saturday’s events at the University of London thanks to a free ticket passed on to my tutor from Colin McHenry, which I am massively grateful of! This post is going to be a roundup of all the posts about the lectures that I went and saw as well as some background information on the designers themselves.

TYPOLondon was a collection of lectures held over the three days (Thursday, Friday and Saturday) from the 20-22 October of this year, “featuring A-list speakers from the world of typography, information, graphic and digital design, brand experience, film, animation, publishing and education.” It’s been held in Berlin for the past few years and this was the inaugural event for London. I was only able to get a ticket for Saturday’s events, but from what I have gathered from the people I have spoken to; Saturday was the favourite day of events so I’m glad for that fact that I was able to enjoy everything on offer. Logan Hall, in the Institute of Education at the University of London is pretty sizeable lecture theatre and appeared to max out with the seating on almost all of the lectures that I saw there.

TYPO will be returning to London next year as well as also having conferences in Berlin and San Francisco. Stay up to date with their Twitter.
