If you can get out of the office for the day and fancy a nice trip to sunny Brighton this month then you should register for Ampersand – The web typography conference.
It is happening on the 17th June at the Brighton Dome Corn Exchange, Church Street, Brighton, BN1 1UG, UK. Brighton is the birthplace of Eric Gill don’t you know!
A good one day event with some great guest speakers including David Berlow, type designer & cofounder of The Font Bureau; John Daggett, Firefox developer & editor of the CSS3 Fonts Module and Jonathan Hoefler, type designer & president of Hoefler & Frere-Jones.
I only found out about this yesterday, the Anti Design Festival is happening around Redchurch Street in London’s Shoreditch. Apparently there are a host of exhibitions, installations, workshops, performances and talks in Art, Design, Product, Film, Sound, Fashion, Performance, Print and Interactive etc.
This is what the website has to say “As a response to 25 years of cultural deep freeze in the UK, the Anti Design Festival will attempt to unlock creative fires and ideas, exploring spaces hitherto deemed out-of-bounds by a purely commercial criteria. Created initially as a direct response to the pretty commerciality of the London Design Festival, the festival will shift the focus from bums-on-seats to brain food, and from taste and style to experiment and risk.”
