Wed 23 Oct 5:00–7:00 — Opening reception for the TDC 64 Annual Competition Exhibition — The World’s Best Typography. Every year SASD Graphic Design brings to the Schelfhaudt Gallery an extraordinary display of communication design, typography, and type design. This year is new and different in the best ways — new works by world class graphic designers, new works by new practitioners of design working in posters, books, identities, interactive, environmental, editorial, and more.
Organized by the Manhattan-based Type Directors Club (tdc.org), the exhibition features over 265 works from the annual TDC Competitions in Communication Design and Type Design. The exhibit travels the US and throughout the world to come to the University of Bridgeport other the materials become part of the SASD GD Archives.
The competitions are juried by outstanding professionals.
