Talk:
Not a type designer
with Marta Cerdà Alimbau
This lecture will be focused in the boundaries between two formerly distinct specialisms of design: illustration and typography. In Marta Cerdà’s work this different semiotic means of expression don’t occupy distinct territories, but are interconnected in many different ways. The talk is going to take us through a gradient of her work, methodologies and process, that go from a formal lettering to a full illustration.
This talk took place Saturday, June 18, 2016, at 10:00am as part of the main Typographics conference schedule.
