SUMMARY:Introduction to Modern Type Design
DESCRIPTION:with Kel Troughton \n  \nDuring this 10-week online workshop\, which meets on Wednesday evenings from January 31–April 10 (no class on February 21)\, you will create your own original typefaces as you gain an understanding of the methodologies and software used to produce high-quality digital type. \nThe primary goal of this workshop is to show you how to systematically think about type and help you successfully make a font. We will focus on techniques and best practices for designing and spacing type\, introducing you to the conceptual foundations of type design\, including proofing and testing work. You will work in the Glyphs App throughout the week and upload homework before each meeting for review. Throughout the workshop you will learn various lessons about type\, history\, sketching\, and get weekly feedback on your type projects. \nThis workshop is suitable for designers just starting to think about type and for designers with some type design experience\, hoping to hone their skills and processes. Some experience with drawing Bézier curves (in Adobe Illustrator\, for instance) and with typography is recommended but not required. This is a great course for anyone interested in applying for a spot in Type West’s Postgraduate Certificate Program in Type Design. \nA free temporary license for Glyphs App will be made available to all participants. The class is capped at fifteen students to allow for one-on-one instruction.

SUMMARY:Editing With Disability/Chronic Illness
DESCRIPTION:This coffee chat centers people who work as editors and are living with disability and/or chronic illness. It is open to everyone. The idea was partly inspired by an active peer group currently hosted by the Society of Authors (https://www.societyofauthors.org/Groups/Authors-Disabilities-Illnesses-Network). \nGroup agreements that will be open for discussion at the start of the chat:\n* Disclosure (of illness/disability/etc.) is welcome. Disclosure is not required.\n* There are no requirements. We participate (or not) in the ways that work for us.\n* We take care of ourselves. Stretch\, eat\, drink\, take a break\, etc.\n* We can’t be articulate all the time. We give each other the benefit of the doubt and ask questions.\n* We keep confidentiality: Learning goes\, stories stay. \nThe online chat this Thursday will have an open agenda\, loosely focused on work-life: How do we define\, handle\, and sustain our work as editors. What kinds of projects are a good fit? How do we obtain enough but not too much work (if that is even possible in editing!)? What have we learned and what can we learn from each other? \nThis event is free to attend and open to all editors.

SUMMARY:Celebrating the Hero in You
DESCRIPTION:Unable to attend? No worries. Register anyway and receive the replay! February is a month in which we celebrate African-American men and women heroes. In addition\, this year let’s celebrate ourselves\, for the many ways in which we perform big and small acts of heroism for ourselves and others. \nAs we become more conscious of supporting mental health and wellness\, acknowledging our gifts\, our value\, and our heroism becomes part of the new language we are creating. \nIn this workshop\, we will discuss and write about our daily or regular acts of heroism in our family\, friendship\, and work circles and how those acts have enlarged us. \nWe’ll talk and write about how heroism for most of us is not exceptional\, but built into the fabric of our lives. And we’ll speak the names of the unsung “ordinary” heroes who inspired us. \nUsing prose or poetry we’ll write about our personal heroes\, as well as our own heroic moments.  \nHow have parents\, teachers\, friends\, and strangers\, shown up in our lives and lifted us to new heights? \nProtected or even saved us? \nHow have we done the same? \nBring your pen\, paper\, questions\, and get ready to be inspired!

SUMMARY:Making a Way Out of No Way
DESCRIPTION:My story is not a single story\, but a series of connected narratives\, woven together into one life. ~ Arnold T. Grisham \nMore than a mere autobiography\, Making a Way of No Way details the life and experiences of a child born to a working-class Black family in Chicago’s West Side during the 1940s. The crucible of Arnold Grisham’s family and Chicago’s South Side community produced a young man who\, against long odds\, attended and graduated from DePaul University\, ultimately earning an MBA in finance. Grisham’s career in banking is a testament to his courage and commitment to breaking through racial barriers and redefining possibilities for those who would follow. It is also a personal story\, involving struggle\, pain\, loss and renewal.

SUMMARY:Bibliophiles Beware: The Situationist International and the Art & Politics of Cultural Hijacking
DESCRIPTION:Active between 1957 and 1972\, The Situationist International (S.I.) was a revolutionary alliance of artists\, intellectuals\, architects and political theorists that is hailed as the “last avant-garde” of the 20th century. One of the organization’s core concepts is that of détournement\, which can be understood as the subversion of established cultural commodities as a means of propaganda. This exhibition presents numerous examples of this innovative practice\, from artist books to comic strips\, and from leaflets to maps. In doing so\, it also attempts to retrace the history of a movement that maintained an ambiguous relationship with their own material productions. \nExhibition opening and remarks by Mehdi El Hajoui\, private collector.

SUMMARY:Make Icons Editable\, Animated\, and Colorful with Font Technologies
DESCRIPTION:with Wenting Zhang\nDiscover new ways to make icons customizable\, animate-able\, colorful\, and recolor-able by utilizing variable font and color font technology. \nWith the latest developments in variable and color fonts\, typography and iconography are becoming enriched! Join us for a talk with Wenting Zhang\, co-founder and CEO of Typogram\, who will share new ways to utilize variable font and color font technology for icons — to make icons customizable\, animate-able\, colorful\, and recolor-able: \nCustomizable\nVariable font tech can be seen as a bezier curve editing capability. With that\, icons can enjoy controlled editing capacity without exposing the hard-to-manipulate bezier curves and control points. \nAnimatable\nThe variable font axis can be seen as an animation timeline. With that\, icons as glyphs can go through a series of transformations and appear animated. \nColorful and Recolor-able\nArguably color font technology is better suited for icon font than for text. Icon font used to be quite limited for the lack of support for popular dual-tone icons\, which is being changed with color fonts. Not only can icon fonts be colorful\, but it also brings an easy way to recolor them to fit the brand. \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. \n

The talk will take inspiration from Baker’s upcoming book Finding a Likeness: How I Got Somewhat Better at Art to celebrate how both writing and drawing are ways of embracing the three-dimensional world. \nDoors open at 5:30 p.m.\, with drinks and light bites to follow. \nThe Kirkpatrick Speaker Series is made possible by the generous support of Taylor Kirkpatrick. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSource:: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-weight-of-paper-a-conversation-with-nicholson-baker-tickets-789749250267?aff=oddtdtcreator

SUMMARY:Salon Series 47: The Complete Commercial Artist: Making Modern Design in Japan\, 1928–1930
DESCRIPTION:with Gennifer Weisenfeld\nJoin us for a conversation with the author of our latest book\, an exploration of modernist commercial design in Japan. \nToward the end of the 1920s\, Japanese designers pursued a radical new vision for their profession. Engaging modernist and avant-garde trends from abroad\, refashioning local graphic and calligraphic forms\, and using the latest tools and techniques\, they poured fresh colors and expressive forms into all facets of consumer life\, from streetscapes to the printed page. The Complete Commercial\, a 24-volume design compendium published by the country’s leading designers\, captured the spirit of the age with thousands of playful and inventive designs. \nIn conversation with Letterform Archive Books editor Chris Westcott\, art historian Gennifer Weisenfeld discusses her new book on this remarkable document of design history\, The Complete Commercial Artist: Making Modern Design in Japan\, 1928–1930. Sharing art from the original volumes\, Weisenfeld will explore the global exchange of ideas and practices that informed designers’ new approaches to lettering\, illustration\, design\, and display.

SUMMARY:Compose Yourself: An exploration of historic and contemporary daredevil typesetting
DESCRIPTION:Typesetting for letterpress printing presents multiple challenges: aligning each letter\, ensuring ideal word and letter spacing\, kerning if necessary\, then locking it all up… even defying gravity in a chase. Daredevil typesetting becomes even more challenging as type is formed in circles\, curves\, waves\, and complex illustrations such as landscapes or buildings. \nJessica will give us a look at the tools and techniques typesetters have employed to achieve amazing and inspiring feats of composition\, followed by some P\, Q & As.

SUMMARY:Empress San Francisco: The Pacific Rim\, The Great West\, and California at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition
DESCRIPTION:When the more than 18 million visitors poured into the Panama-Pacific International Exposition (PPIE) in San Francisco in 1915\, they encountered a vision of the world born out of San Francisco’s particular local political and social climate. By seeking to please various constituent groups ranging from the government of Japan to local labor unions and neighborhood associations\, fair organizers generated heated debate and conflict about who and what represented San Francisco\, California\, and the United States at the world’s fair. The PPIE encapsulated the social and political tensions and conflicts of pre–World War I California and presaged the emergence of San Francisco as a cosmopolitan cultural and economic center of the Pacific Rim. \nEmpress San Francisco offers a fresh examination of this\, one of the largest and most influential world’s fairs\, by considering the local social and political climate of Progressive Era San Francisco. Focusing on the influence exerted by women\, Asians and Asian Americans\, and working-class labor unions\, among others\, Abigail M. Markwyn offers a unique analysis both of this world’s fair and the social construction of pre–World War I America and the West. \nAn in-person and virtual presentation by Abigail M. Markwyn\, author and professor of history at Carroll University

SUMMARY:Clubhouse Turn: The Twilight of Hollywood Park Race Track
DESCRIPTION:On December 22\, 2013\, Hollywood Park Racetrack closed its doors permanently.\n\nComprising 500 photographs culled from more than 25\,000 taken on location\, Clubhouse Turn (2013-2016) is the final documentation of the historic landmark before its demolition. It is a portrait of not only the architecture and grounds of Hollywood Park\, but of those individuals whose livelihood and identities were dependent upon it: a portrait of a quickly vanishing Los Angeles.\n\n\n\n\nConstructed on a swampy landmass in Inglewood\, Hollywood Park Racetrack was envisioned by entertainment moguls. Inglewood welcomed the executives\, who had been excluded from other venues due to prejudice. The first turn on a racetrack immediately after the finish line\, known as the clubhouse turn\, is considered to be the best vantage point to see the finish of the race and is therefore where the privileged sit. Built with the values of a bygone era and the mythologies of the track\, Hollywood Park was a place where the privileged and disenfranchised co-mingled; it epitomized the social complexity of a place of fantasy and dreams\, winning and losing. Clubhouse Turn strives to produce a pictorial record of the inevitable amalgamation of imagined and actual realities\, environment and circumstance. By grouping the images into framed constructions\, the work functions like memory—consolidating\, diffusing\, and reorganizing what has now disappeared. \n\n\n\nAn in-person presentation by Michele Asselin\, editorial photographer and author

SUMMARY:The Women of NOW
DESCRIPTION:with author Katherine Turk in conversation with Professor Deirdre English\nJoin author Katherine Turk in conversation with writer\, editor\, and professor Deirdre English on Turk’s new book\, The Women of NOW: How Feminists Built an Organization that Transformed America. In 1966\, a diverse group of activists founded the National Organization for Women (NOW) to build “a civil rights movement to speak for women.” In The Women of NOW\, the historian Katherine Turk chronicles the growth and influence of this foundational group through three relatively unknown core members: Aileen Hernandez\, a federal official of Jamaican-American heritage; Mary Jean Collins\, a working-class union organizer and Chicago Catholic; and Patricia Hill Burnett\, a Michigan Republican and former beauty queen. The Women of NOW is the first full account of the largest and most expansive feminist membership organization in American history. By foregrounding NOW in the past half-century of American history\, The Women of NOW reveals how mainstream feminism transformed the nation\, clashing with conservative forces to create today’s social and political landscape.

SUMMARY:Editors Helping Editors
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our “Editors Helping Editors” meeting. Bring your problems\, big and small\, as well as your thinking caps. We’ll work together to solve event-goers quandaries and questions\, which could range from common questions like how to find clients in a particular field (say academic editing) to more situation-specific issues like why a particular macro isn’t working in Word. The only topic that’s off limits is setting rates\, as that can be seen as price-fixing. However\, we can talk about rate-adjacent topics\, such as tools and data we use when setting rates\, what counts as a tax write-off\, and how/when to raise rates. \nThis event is now open to all editors and will not be recorded.
