Book design at St Gallen (source: http://www.stbride.org)
If book design is your thing then head down to St Bride Library for Book Design at St Gallen. The final talk takes place next Wednesday 17th March and the exhibition runs until Friday 19th March.
Here is a bit of blurb about the talks, taken from the St Bride Library website.
Roland Frueh – Hostettler & Typographic Discourse
As the editor of typographic journals Ralf Hostettler moderated discourse in typography and graphic design for almost four decades, always from St.Gallen, but with an international outlook. This talk will focus on how his editorial work influenced developments in typography and graphic design.
Richard Hollis – St. Gallen: Tradition & Innovation
Measuring the distance between books designed in St. Gallen and those which represent ‘Swiss typography’.
Robin Kinross – Hochuli as Editor, Writer, Publisher
Robin will discuss this part of Hochuli’s work – focusing on his VGS books and the annual booklets that he has made: the Typotron series and now the Ostschweiz series, both very much centered on St. Gallen in their subjects.
