Selected projects from the second and third year of the Grafik und Werbung course at the Angewandte.

From ‘Apfelkerning’, over ‘Zwiebelfisch’ all the way to the ‘Fleischsalat’. Kerning, kerning, kerning!

First day of a two day workshop based on typographic Hierarchy. Workshop leader is Paul McNeil, supported by Paulus M. Dreibholz.

inspired by Joseph Albers's and Herbert Bayer's approach to construct a typeface through the use of basic geometric shapes, the students were asked to design a modular typeface using a similar approach. 3 hours, 3 basic shapes = 1 typeface

Three hours, three titles, three covers, three ideas, three technologies, three breath strokes and off you go!

A publication about typographic research in academic and professional environments. Fifteen students of the Typography and Language platform group of the MA Communication Design at Central Saint Martins present their projects and methodologies.

The project asked the students to consider the poster and magazine as a cultural artefact and its power to communicate at different levels when directed to other than commercial uses.

Every publication needs its reality check. We launched Lead between the lines respectfully in the Design Museum in London. A great event, with many people and fantastic atmosphere.

PosterGraphic was a workshop over two days sending the groups of students to various locations to fulfill certain tasks and interpret their findings. Tasks included sourcing the famous ‘Sachertorten’ recipe, or chasing the Third Man through the Viennese sewer systems.

Default #1 was organised by Susanne Dechant and her team to give Graphic Design and Typography in Austria a forum for debate and discussion. A number of internationally known typographers were invited. Teaching Type was represented by Paulus M. Dreibholz.

Paulus M. Dreibholz is a typographer and graphic designer based in London. The output of his atelier reveals his focus on editorial and typographic design in the form of printed matter, corporate identities, typefaces and exhibition pieces. His studio work is continuously substantiated and challenged by his writing and teaching practice. Dreibholz’ approach to design is based on his theory of the inherent meaning of form and the human understanding of it.

Dreibholz currently is lecturer at the BA Graphic Design and MA Communication Design course at Central Saint Martins and at the University of Applied Arts Vienna. He regularly conducts typographic workshops and lectures at colleges and universities across Europe and is a founding member of TeachingType (teachingtype.com), a platform for exchange between educators in the field of visual communication.

Dreibholz’ work has won various awards and has been featured extensively in publications and exhibitions.

Adriana is a designer, educator and theorist. Her interest lies in design and other forms of cultural practice (be that literature, film, music, art) as a voice for dissent and as a means for facilitating/offering alternative ways of communicating, participating, living and working that are not based on commodification and capitalization, but multiplicity, conviviality and democracy. Graphic design, typography and related practices play a crucial role in helping articulate a multitude of voices and contents. Adriana's teaching approach encourages an ongoing collective engagement (tutor + students) with complex issues relating to design as a visual and social practice. The design studio becomes a place for dialogue, experimentation, discussion, reading, making, in which students and tutors are equal researchers.

Annegrete Mølhave is a phd candidate in information design, and associate lecturer on the MA Communication design course at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, University of the Arts London. Her practice-based research aims to identify existing rationales and processes for transformation of information into visual explanations within science learning material. The methodology mixes visual content analysis, semi-structured interviews and information design practice.

Before commencing her doctoral degree, Annegrete worked as a professional communication designer. Employers include Tallér de Comunicación Gráfica in Mexico City (2003), where responsibilities involved exhibition design for a national museum. Further to this she initiated Taquile – a self portrait, a project entailing digital photo workshops with indigenous inhabitants of the island Taquile in the Titicaca Lake, Peru. These workshops resulted in a permanent photo exhibition on the island and shown in Lima (2005) and Copenhagen (2006).

Catherine Nippe teaches Communication Design and Typography.

Catherine aims for a process orientated teaching practice. Workshops and semester-projects intend to lead to a process, where students gain knowledge through experience. Her Briefs contain a set of questions, boundaries, tasks and loose ends, which become the trigger for a debate between the student, the subject matter and the class. Taking the output and tasks as the cornerstone she explains and introduces relevant rules and practices in relation to the field.

n her own practice Catherine likes to share and discuss ideas and debates, rethink visions and collaborate with other people, who share the passion for communication design. Her original background (Master) was exploring language in the context of its medium. Comparing the printed word to the spoken she spend some time in the field of motion graphics but since than returned to print and typography.

After having spent some time at Mutabor Design, Studio Pizz and the Design Laboratory at Central Saint Martins Catherine became a Freelancer in summer 2006. In the past few months she was commissioned for several print and screen projects within the field of art, design and architecture.
