1. Pairing Typefaces like a Pro
Become more confident and faster in finding better type combinations.
A solid font pairing is essential to make designs stand out, look professional, and perform well. But finding matching typefaces feels like guessing, and always takes longer than it should. After this workshop, attendees will know how to use the Font Matrix as practical guideline to pair font harmoniously and with ease.
This workshop is for
- Experienced designer
- That want to deepen their type pairing skills
- Working on graphic design, branding, UI or web design projects.
2. The Power of UI Typography
Let the typographic uniqueness of a project shine without losing functionality.
Text is the essential part of every user interface. However, many apps or websites seem to neglect that. This results in a lost opportunity for branding at least (looking at you, Roboto), or bad UX at worst. After this inspiring workshop, attendees will have a checklist on how to better choose and use typefaces for their next UI or web design.
This workshop is for
- Beginning and experienced designers,
- That want more background for their decision-making
- Working on UI or web design projects.
3. Future Font Tech – Today
Discover new possibilities with modern font technology to level up your web and app designs.
Variable Fonts, Color Fonts, and CSS animation provides us with design possibilities like never before while enhancing the visual and typographic experience. But it also feels a bit overwhelming and uncertain on how to best use them. After this hands-on workshop, attendees will be able to consider new technologies playfully for their next projects, while knowing how to deal with fallbacks.
This workshop is for
- Designers with a basic understanding of CSS,
- That want inspiration and an overview of new possibilities,
- Working on UI or web design projects.
