 Typographer par excellence Lisa Sy ’13 sez:

TypeClub will present a film screening of DESIGN & THINKING, which is a documentary that explores “design thinking.”
A description of the movie:
How do we fully engage organizations to think about the changing landscape of business, culture and society? Inspired by design thinking, this documentary grabs businessman, designers, social change-makers and individuals to portrait what they have in common when facing this ambiguous 21st century. What is design thinking? How is it applied in business models? How are people changing the worldwith their own creative minds? It is a call to the conventional minds to change and collaborate.Learn more about TypeClub at  [ http://typeclub.org ]

TypeClub, Wesleyan’s psuedo-design agency/advertising extrordinaires, is looking to take on another designer!

YOU:

  • Are a typophile
  • Proficient in the Adobe Creative Suite
  • Have time to commit

EVENT
TypeClub Info Session

From Carlos Sanchez ’14:

If you’ve ever projectile vomited on the Usdan events board or broken down in tears at the unsavory sight of Comic Sans, you’re not alone. Come find solace in your like-minded peers at the very first meeting for TypeClub, Wesleyan’s first design cooperative and quasi-advertising firm for campus organizations and events.

We’re looking to recruit graphic designers, illustrators, visual artists, design thinkers and anyone interested in the following:

  • Branding
  • Poster and Logo Design
  • The Business Side of Advertising/Marketing
  • DIY Urban Design
  • Design Tutorials

If this sounds like you, come to Zilkha 202 (Upstairs) this Saturday and participate in the club’s collaborative development!
