ABOUT THIS EVENT

FAQs
Am I required to show work?
No, but you’re welcome to come and learn. We do encourage participating in the critiques and asking questions that would benefit the presenters and the community.
I want to present work! What can I present at the event?
Bring your work-in-progress projects that are typographic in nature or utilize type in some fashion. Anything where graphic designers can help you. Some examples:
– UI/UX: An App or Site that utilizes typographic elements
– Lettering: Sketches and directions for a lettering assignment
– Typeface: Proofs showcasing large renders of the letters, spacing proofs, etc.
– Layout: Multi-page compositions that handle large areas of type
How do I submit work?
To present projects, submit your files before the TypeThursday event through this form. Your work, if accepted, will be projected onto the wall and the group will help improve your typography! Please do not show any work that is covered under contracts or NDAs, as your presentation will be photographed and shown to the group.
