the better people communicate
the greater will be the need for better typography...
___ 6
As a part of its program for Dubai Design Week 2018, the College
letter
of Design at the American University in the United Arab Emirates is hosting an International Typography Poster Exhibition, titled TYPE + TEXT | DXB.
TYPE + TEXT is a project devoted to typography, communication and diversity beyond languages and cultures. The international, open and extending nature of the TYPE + TEXT project serves as an opportunity to look back at the prominent movements and traditions in typography such as the Russian constructivism and suprematism, German Bauhaus but also new typography, Dutch De Stijl, Hungarian Kassak as well as Arabic, Chinese and Japanese calligraphy.
The TYPE + TEXT | DXB exhibition displays a selection of posters created by 60 designers from 33 countries around the world and thus presents some of the most outstanding recent achievements and innovative approaches in typography within the field of poster design.
The letter is the clear basis and the common element of all the works. It functions not only as an image, but also has a strictly defined semantic meaning. Of course, some designers treat it as an experimental form, focusing more on the shape rather than its function; others focus on its actual denomination.
Apart from showcasing some of the most intriguing recent achievements of international designers specialized in typography, the exhibition also endeavours to juxtapose the methods, approaches, practices and ways of thinking about design and the use of letter in various cultures. Thus, the works reflect upon views, cultures, and design methods which are prominent in different parts of the world, serving as an indication of the times in which they have been created.
How to understand the meaning in the richness of cultures and languages? I believe that in a well-designed message of a poster, the language does not constitute an obstacle.
