Yesterday at 10 pm the TYPO San Francisco facilitator team started the third FontShop conference in the Bay Area. Theme this year is focus. Within the graphic industry, shifts in focus are constant.
More than 20 experts share their experience an give best practice advise on stirring questions: Do we need to learn web, print, mobile or be a jack-of-all-trades? Does a graphic designer take on type design? Should a visual artist delve into UX? Do type foundries dedicate more attention to webfonts?
By focusing on “Focus,” TYPO San Francisco brings together a diverse slate of international and local speakers to explore this theme through a creative’s lens. For everyone who could not make it, there will be live streamed talks as well as blog posts covering the conference.
