HOW Design Live 2013 – Type or Consequences

HOWDesign-2013-640x222In case you haven’t heard, I will be speaking a the HOW Design Live Conference in June 2013. The time is quickly approaching and I want to make sure you don’t miss out on the registration discounts. The early bird registration ends this Friday 3.15. If you use my name, DENISE, as a dicount code you will receive an additional $100 off the registration fee. Hurry up and register!

THEN you need to come to my Type or Consequences talk on Monday June 24. Here’s the session description to entice you:

Companies design and redesign their logos everyday; it’s how they keep fresh, show change and continue in a competitive marketplace. However, in the fickle crowd-responding, social-media-announcing, trending atmosphere of today’s consumer world, it’s important that designers remain vigilant in their design choices. This includes keeping an extra keen eye on typographic decisions. Join Denise Bosler to be inspired (or horrified) by what companies are doing to brand and rebrand themselves today, and discuss typography’s effect on a logo design’s success.

Based upon tidbits and advice from her book, Mastering Type: The Essential Guide to Typography for Print and Web Design, Denise will:

  • explain the difference between evolutionary and revolutionary design tactics
  • discuss the role of connotation and implications of font choice
  • show how to incorporate creatively engaging typographic design cues
  • reveal simple, but underutilized, tips to revitalize your typographic logo work

There will be a book signing too so bring along my book, say hello and snag my Jane Hancock.
