SUMMARY:Becoming Your Own Publisher: Advice\, Tips and Pitfalls/Self-Editing Your Work
DESCRIPTION:We are slowly but surely beginning to incorporate live events into our schedule. January is traditionally Self-Pub month. We have asked Janet Dawson\, Peggy Lucke\, and Michael Nava to join MWA NorCal for a panel discussion on setting up your own publishing house. We will ask them to weigh in on the pros and cons (if any) of being their own jack of all trades. As a natural follow-up to this discussion\, Laurie R. King and Zoe Quinton are going to discuss self-editing your material. If you’re going to self-publish\, learning the finer points of self-editing is a must.

SUMMARY:From the Printed Work of Jo Mora
DESCRIPTION:The creative career of Joseph Jacinto “Jo” Mora (1876-1947) was both compelling and diverse. In addition to being a painter\, muralist\, sculptor\, building designer\, cartographer\, actor\, set designer\, cowboy\, and husband and father\, Mora was very involved with work on paper. It is his work as an illustrator\, cartoonist\, printer\, and author that so closely parallels the work of the Book Club of California. \nMora’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. All of these subjects\, including the Christmas holiday\, found expression in his work and his lasting creative efforts can be seen throughout California and the West. \nExhibition opening and remarks by Peter Hiller\, author\, historian\, and curator of Jo Mora Trust Collection \n  \nPlease note: you can register for this event to attend either in person or on Zoom.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Modern Type Design with Kel Troughton
DESCRIPTION:During this 10-week online workshop\, which meets Tuesday evenings from January 29-April 4\, participants will create their own original typefaces as they gain an understanding of the methodologies and software used to produce high-quality digital type. \nThe primary goal of this workshop is to show participants how to systematically think about type and successfully structure the type design process. We will focus on techniques and best practices for designing and spacing type\, explore the conceptual foundations of type design\, including proofing and testing work\, and learn about the structure of type families. Participants will work in Glyphs App throughout the week and upload homework before each workshop for review. During meeting times\, participants will learn various lessons about type\, practice sketching\, and get feedback on their type projects. \nThis course is suitable for designers just starting to think about type and for designers with some type design experience\, hoping to develop 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 to the Type West 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 ample one-on-one instruction.

SUMMARY:Virtual Coffee Chat: Editors with Disabilities/Chronic Illnesses
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. \nTopics for the online chat this Monday are currently open. If you have a conversation topic you would like to host (for this meeting or at a different day/time)\, please contact me! I also have a list of topics to bring to the meeting in case they are needed. \nThis event is free to attend and open to all editors.

SUMMARY:A Byte Sized History of Computer Typography with Ben Zotto
DESCRIPTION:This Letterform Lecture will take you on a whirlwind tour of bitmaps\, cathode rays\, and how type and computer technology have evolved together. This talk is part how-it-works and where-it-came-from\, and part love letter to what is inevitably lost to obsolescence. \nWhile print has often been the ultimate goal of “digital” typography\, there is a parallel story of type shown on screens – letters conjured up and discarded in real time. This talk will touch on the different ways letterforms have been produced on displays\, and how technology for print and technology for the screen eventually became the same thing. Fun topics include: the unique cathode ray aesthetic; the design of bitmap fonts; arcade and other games; how Bézier curves work; and tricks used to make small text legible. \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:Historical Black Publications Inspire Contemporary InDesign Projects
DESCRIPTION:Silas Munro and his company\, Polymode\, use InDesign and other modern tools of graphic design to create award-winning projects from book design to museum displays. But what animates him? What are his light bulb moments? How does he do it? \nNo easy answer\, of course. But among his influences are the rich lineages of publications representing many facets of Black life\, from the 1900–1919 Colored American Magazine to the iconic oeuvre of the Johnson Publishing Company’s Ebony and Jet. In this presentation\, Munro will explore a selection of significant Black publications from the 20th century through the design of their layouts into their cultural relevance. He will talk about how these histories inspire Polymode’s poetic research process when applied to book design and his work as a design historian.

SUMMARY:Linking the Past\, Forging the Future: Conservation of a Medieval Chained Binding
DESCRIPTION:In our digital age\, it’s hard to remember (or even believe) that books were once so rare and costly that they were kept chained to the shelves. But even chains cannot protect a centuries-old book from the wear of time–and many hands. When a chained medieval book in Stanford Libraries’ collection needed repair it took a group effort to conserve the book and create a model of this unusual binding structure that could stand in its place for use by scholars and researchers: a group at the intersection of scholarship\, conservation\, and craft. Join us for a virtual panel discussion with Kathleen Smith\, Aude Gabory\, and Karen Hanmer as they discuss their collaboration across disciplines; see the resulting facsimile\, and marvel at the thought\, art\, and skill that went into creating it.
