SUMMARY:InDesign Goes to Prison
DESCRIPTION:Of all the things people in prison might be doing\, chances are learning InDesign doesn’t immediately come to mind. But it did for Michael Santos and\, through Prison Professors the organization he founded\, incarcerated individuals now have an additional\, if unlikely\, pathway to success. \nSantos is passionate about creating a supportive and rehabilitative environment within correctional facilities. By focusing on the acquisition of practical skills\, he and his organization provide a sense of purpose and direction for incarcerated individuals. Engaging in creative pursuits like graphic design serve as a positive outlet for self-expression\, fostering a sense of accomplishment and boosting self-esteem. \nEquipping incarcerated individuals with InDesign skills enhances their prospects for successful reintegration into society. By developing a portfolio of their work\, they can showcase their talent and skills to potential employers. But since former prisoners might not immediately find willing employers\, InDesign also opens an income opportunity while working from home. \nThrough graphic design\, incarcerated individuals can not only learn how to use visuals to communicate ideas but also to write more effectively. With these marketable skills\, individuals who have paid their debt to society are better positioned to secure employment\, reduce recidivism rates\, and become contributing members of their communities. \nYou will learn: \n\n\nWhat InDesign skills are taught to people in prison. \n\n\nSteps we can take with InDesign to lower intergenerational cycles of recidivism. \n\n\nReal-life examples of formerly incarcerated people who have made good through InDesign. \n\n\nHow the graphic design community can make a bigger impact on the lives of people in prison. \n\n\nWhy mass incarceration represents one of the greatest social injustices of our time. \n\n\nPathways to bringing courses into jails and prisons across America.

SUMMARY:From Bookcase to Bender Room\, and Beyond: Approaching the Centennial of Rare Book Collecting at Stanford
DESCRIPTION:In September of 1926\, Albert M. Bender turned his philanthropic focus on Stanford University Library. As one of the founders of the Book Club of California\, Bender needs no introduction to this audience who will also be familiar with his efforts to establish an appreciation for the book arts at Mills College\, San Francisco Public Library\, and other Bay Area institutions. His offer to assemble\, with the co-operation of friends\, “a collection of notable examples of fine printing to be placed on exhibition in the Stanford Library”\, was immediately embraced by faculty\, students\, and library staff. This gift was the catalyst for the creation in rapid succession of a Typographical Collection\, a Rare Book Room\, a staff position for a Keeper of Rare Books\, and\, by the end of the 1930s\, a Division of Special Collections to manage the library’s growing holdings of rare and distinctive materials. \nOver the decades\, the Stanford collections were reorganized several times and much of the provenance information about this transformative period was lost from the library catalog\, with the foundational gift eventually being dispersed. This presentation explores some notable pre-Bender acquisitions\, once held on a bookcase in the library director’s office\, before introducing the foundational gift of “Finely Printed Books” that started\, and in many ways still shapes\, the collecting program at Stanford. \nAn in-person and virtual presentation by Benjamin Albritton\, Rare Books Curator in the Department of Special Collections at Stanford Libraries

SUMMARY:Hidden Diversity: Lessons from Four Centuries of Javanese Script Heritage
DESCRIPTION:with Aditya Bayu Perdana\nTake a trip to Java\, where four centuries of script\, calligraphy\, and typography leave a treasure trove of inspiration for designers.\nThe archipelago now known as Indonesia is well known for its cultural diversity\, which extends to writing systems. Unfortunately\, everyday use of traditional Indonesian scripts\, including the Javanese script\, has largely been supplanted by the Latin alphabet. One stumbling block in many contemporary efforts to revitalize the script is the lack of appealing visual styles. However\, when we peel back the script beyond monotonous tables endlessly repeated on the internet\, the history of Javanese script shows a rich tradition of visual variation in all sorts of materials—from the calligraphic hands of palace manuscripts to display types used in magazines. \nIn this talk\, Bayu will show how he used archival Javanese materials to expand the typography of Javanese in contemporary usage. See some of the materials he collected over the years and how they were used in some of his typographic works. Hear Bayu’s personal experience working with Javanese and other Indonesian scripts\, and his ongoing efforts to learn and promote design excellence in traditional scripts. \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:Fifty Years in the Making: A Reprise by John A. Lehner of the 1970 Decorative Designers Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:In 1970 John A. Lehner attended The Decorative Designers Exhibition and was captivated by the originality and variety of The Decorative Designers’ work. The Decorative Designers operated as a firm\, as opposed to individual artists\, to present publishers with designs hand-painted onto the cloth that would be used in production\, thus giving a clearer representation of the finished product. Lehner spent the next fifty years on a quest to collect all sixty-one books that were on exhibit. On display at the Book Club are all sixty-one of the books that were featured in the 1970 Decorative Designers Exhibition plus an additional thirteen books from The Decorative Designers. \nThe Exhibition will be on view July 10\, 2023 through October 23\, 2023. \nExhibition opening and remarks by John A. Lehner\, book collector and retired aerospace engineer

SUMMARY:Working With CSS Doesn’t Have To Make You Cry
DESCRIPTION:with Chen Hui Jing\nIn this Letterform Lecture\, explore the pitfalls and joys of typesetting with CSS.\nA somewhat common scenario when it comes to web design is that of a designer handing over their painstakingly pixel-perfect mockups to a developer and experiencing the five stages of grief when they see the end result. This lecture will try to reconcile the two worlds by presenting a developer’s side of the story. \nOccasionally\, the designer’s work is being implemented by a developer who is not particularly aware of the intricacies of design. Often\, there is a misunderstanding of the capabilities and behaviors of what is possible on the web. We will cover an overview of web typography\, what is possible today with CSS versus the limitations of web platforms\, and what might lie ahead. \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:Ramona Memories: Tourism and the Shaping of Southern California
DESCRIPTION:Learn how a work of historical fiction came to define how we understand southern California’s past. \nDydia DeLyser is Associate Professor of Geography at California State University\, Fullerton. A native Californian\, she began researching the “Ramona Myth” as an undergraduate at UCLA. Her book\, “Ramona Memories: Tourism and the Shaping of Southern California” (University of Minnesota Press\, 2005) is the only scholarly\, book-length treatment of this important element of southern California’s past. Her research\, based on obscure archival sources as well as a growing personal collection of Ramona-related tourist souvenirs\, revealed that it was not the promoters and boosters who first fabulated Ramona-related attractions\, but the tourists themselves who demanded that Ramona locales become visitable tourist sites\, thus reshaping not only the region’s landscape\, but also how generations have thought about its past. \nAn in-person presentation by Dydia DeLyser\, author and Associate Professor of Geography at California State University\, Fullerton\,

SUMMARY:Mexican Rótulos: An Endangered Species?
DESCRIPTION:with Romina Hernández\nThis Letterform Lecture invites you come along for a signage journey across central Mexico City.\nAbout a year ago\, Sandra Cuevas\, the mayor of the Cuauhtémoc district in central Mexico City\, decided to remove hundreds of hand-painted signs from food stalls\, carts\, newsstands\, and street vendors. Even tamaleras with only a table and a pot had to paint everything plain white and stencil the municipality’s logo in blue. \nOvernight\, what millions of other chilangos walking across the busy city streets always thought was a given\, a part of their everyday background\, was gone. Why were these Rótulos removed while the ones on buildings remained? Why\, after a year in an ever-evolving city with bustling street commerce\, are they not back? And why are so many people sad about it? \nJoin Romina Hernández for a journey through a collection of amazing and overlooked Rótulos from México City and beyond. Explore why some folks chose to put paint on their walls instead of vinyl and how sign painting in México can be both an endangered craft and a relevant everyday activity. \n\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.
