SUMMARY:How to Sell More Books Using Metadata
DESCRIPTION:Amazon\, Barnes & Noble\, Apple\, Kobo\, and Google Play all run on algorithms\, but each of them is different. Each provides their own tools to authors to help them become more visible to the right readers. But how is an author or small press to know what works best where? And how do you even decide whether to publish on one platform\, or “go wide” by publishing on many? Whatever you decide\, your metadata—the little details you enter in your book’s upload form—feeds the algorithm. In turn\, this can make or break the success of your book. \nUSA Today bestselling author and instructor Shelley Adina will take you through each retailer\, pointing out which algorithms work where\, and which tools are aimed at visibility for your books versus visibility for you\, the author or publisher. She will also talk briefly about selling direct on your website\, a strategy more and more authors are using for greater control of their business.

SUMMARY:New Leaves: The Cherokee Syllabary in the 21st Century
DESCRIPTION:The year 2021 marked the bicentennial of the Cherokee syllabary\, the writing system for the Cherokee language invented by Sequoyah. Today\, it remains integral to the culture and identity of the Cherokee people and is\, like the language itself\, in the midst of concentrated revitalization efforts. Join type designer and Cherokee Nation citizen Chris Skillern on a walk through the history of the syllabary and its adaptation to new technologies. Then get a glimpse at what the future may hold for the syllabary. \nChris will share some personal work and talk about the difficulties of designing modern type families for a script with few models. See the exciting work that’s being done today to appeal to a new generation of language learners and to carry this remarkable invention into the future\, and hear Chris’s personal story of an ongoing journey toward fluency\, in both language and design. \nLetterform Lectures are a public aspect of the Type West postgraduate program. The series is co-presented by the San Francisco Public Library\, where events are free and open to all.

SUMMARY:Before Baedeker: Travel Guidebooks to 1840
DESCRIPTION:The late 19th century has been labelled the “Baedeker Era” after the famous series of compact\, bright-red travel guides published simultaneously in German\, English\, and French. The Baedeker guides’ trademark characteristics – systematic\, impersonal\, regularly updated\, in a portable format packed with practical information and complementary maps – have served as a template for all subsequent guidebooks up to the present day. \nBut how did this specialty format develop? In a talk based on original research drawn from his personal collection spanning 1600 to 1840\, Bill Newlin will trace the evolution of early travel guides\, beginning with itineraries of Italy and France written by and for tutors escorting young noblemen on the Grand Tour.

SUMMARY:Freedom in Restriction: My Journey with Kufi with Joumana Medlej
DESCRIPTION:In this Letterform Lecture\, we will taste the visual power of a lost calligraphic tradition through one artist’s immersion in the early Arabic scripts broadly labelled as “Kufic.” Joumana Medlej uses examples from her work to illustrate the respective qualities of the two great strands of this family\, and how she harnesses its visual language to create compositions made of pure meaning. She will share how her journey towards an authentic understanding of the script revealed that it is defined not by an outside set of formal rules\, but by more elusive principles that can only be learned through embodied practice\, and in return allow greater creative expression. \nLetterform Lectures are a public aspect of the Type West postgraduate program. The series is co-presented by the San Francisco Public Library\, where events are free and open to all.

SUMMARY:A Fresh Take on Interactivity in InDesign
DESCRIPTION:InDesign has a rich toolset for adding a wide variety of interactivity to your documents. But to use these interactive features well\, sometimes you need to think a little differently. In this session\, we will dig into the “how-to” to produce a series of interactive effects; hyperlinks\, pop-ups\, rollovers\, multi-state objects\, slideshows\, buttons and more. We’ll also explore the different formats available to export your document out of InDesign\, and the pros and cons of each. If you’ve tried InDesign’s interactive features and found them frustrating\, or have heard clients ask\, “can we make that interactive” but don’t know where to start\, join Laurie in this fast paced session and take a fresh look.

SUMMARY:Contempo Jo Mora
DESCRIPTION:The creative career of Joseph Jacinto “Jo” Mora (1876-1947) was both compelling and diverse. A painter\, muralist\, sculptor\, building designer\, cartographer\, actor\, set designer\, cowboy\, and husband and father\, Mora’s art work sprang from his interests in numerous subjects including Native Americans and cowboys\, the American landscape\, California history and its missions\, the classics of Chaucer\, and Mora’s love of animals. \nThe artistic legacy of Jo Mora continues to evolve. Upon Mora’s passing in 1947\, his son Jo Jr. lovingly worked to spread the word about his father’s creative accomplishments. That endeavor has been passed along to Peter Hiller\, the Jo Mora Collection Curator. \nJoin Peter as he shares how Jo Mora’s art has\, and continues to\, find its way into popular culture and the wider world in both traditional and surprising ways. \nIn in-person and virtual presentation by Peter Hiller\, author\, historian\, and Jo Mora Collection Curator for the Monterey History and Art Association

SUMMARY:Letters from Buenos Aires with Muk Monsalve
DESCRIPTION:Take a journey through the locations and architectural details in Buenos Aires that inspired a typographic textile.\nSince 2018\, Muk Monsalve has been hosting and curating type walks around Buenos Aires with her art and business partner\, Lucía Soto. This project\, called Letra Capital\, allows them to highlight and share the love they feel while walking their city. \nWhen their type walks halted during the pandemic\, they developed a souvenir for Letra Capital: a typographic scarf recreating the journey. They had so much fun developing it that the product ended up becoming a collection called Musa del Asfalto. The scarves and cover ups are not only beautiful\, they also tell stories through their design\, type\, and phrases. The typefaces they use in the collection\, Arrabal and Ciudadela\, were custom designed–not revivals–and take direct inspiration from landmarks and landscapes of Buenos Aires. \nLetterform Lectures are a public aspect of the Type West postgraduate program. The series is co-presented by the San Francisco Public Library\, where events are free and open to all.

SUMMARY:Salon Series 37: Recovering the Forgotten Women of Metal Type Design with Bethany Qualls
DESCRIPTION:Dig into overlooked design history and get a sneak peek at Letterform Archive’s forthcoming research hub on women in metal type.\nEver wonder who originally designed your favorite typefaces? Many of the fonts we use today (such as Futura\, Helvetica\, Baskerville) originated in the metal type era (late 1800s to 1950s) when hot metal typesetting became the norm for printing\, revolutionizing what had been a mostly manual process for centuries. Much of today’s typographic design relies on norms from this period when Linotype and Monotype dominated. Yet\, with few exceptions\, women’s contributions in the metal type era have mostly been erased or ignored. \nFor this Salon\, Bethany Qualls takes us on a deep dive into these often-overlooked women and their contributions to type history. Even though others have researched early women type designers\, no single\, publicly accessible resource exists to synthesize all of what we do know. You’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at her role as a Mellon Public Scholar in creating Letterform’s forthcoming finding aid and research hub which aims to fill this gap. Highlights will include examples of type specimens from the LA collection\, what’s been left out of most English language resources thus far\, tips on how to research in languages you don’t speak written in alphabets you can’t read\, and the project’s future phases. \n  \nOn-site and online.
