Christoph Niemann: 2015 neue Likes

Es ist der letzte Vortrag des Abends, der letzte der TYPO 2015. Christoph Niemann betritt die Bühne, geschmeidig und gut gelaunt: „To round things off, I’d like to tell you what I think of character.“ Er spricht über Ängste und Erfolg, Kritik und Kreation – und Gummibärchen.

Grcic, Kries, Spiekermann: Haltung und Charakter – die DNA des Designs

„Haltung und Charakter – die DNA des Designs”, so lautet der Titel der Diskussionsrunde zwischen Möbeldesigner Konstantin Grcic, Vitra Museums Direktor Mateo Kries und Gestalter und Typograph Erik Spiekermann . Doch eigentlich ging es dann doch vor allem um Haltung: Welche Haltung darf ich als Gestalter haben? Welche sollte ich haben? Und, wie bewahre ich die Balance zwischen meiner Haltung und den Zielen des Auftraggebers?

Tina Roth Eisenberg: The best way to complain is to make things.

My job is “sitting behind a computer and laugh.” Tina Roth Eisenberg, also known as ‘swissmiss’, explains her principles how to live a happy and fulfilled work and personal life – filled with confetti, good people and the intent, to make things better. Her talk is a mix of advise from the heart, case studies and great stories of how she became an equally happy and successful person.

Victor Moscoso, Poster Legend, Interviewed by Norman Hathaway

Victor Moscoso was the first of the psychedelic rock poster artists of the 1960’s era with formal academic training. Norman Hathaway interviewed Victor on his life and work. Victor’s introduction to the art world was through animated cartoons at a movie-house when he was growing up in Spain. Victor recalled the magic of moving color. Then through comic books, he learned to draw through copying, as well as to read.
