<p>With design week hitting Los Angeles this week, I thought it would be nice to Blog, Facebook and Twitter about the different events going on in our global art and design world. If you saw the FF facebook page, you already know about <a href="http://www.graphicdesignfestival.nl/en/nieuws/black-and-white-are-not-colors/">Black & White Are Not Colors</a>, happing at Festival Breda, The Hague. But, if you are in London, treat yourself to TYPO, at least sign-up for the free ticket giveaway. ~MAC</p> <h2>Design's biggest names come to London this week <br />- and you can be there for free</h2> <div> <p>This Thursday, Friday and Saturday (October 20-22) typography's biggest names descend on the University of London for <a href="http://typolondon.com" rel="">TYPO London</a> – an event bringing together the world's leading designers for a series of what are sure to be inspirational and informative talks on type, graphic and digital design, brand experience, film, animation, publishing and education.</p> <p>TYPO London  is based on the hugely successful <a href="http://www.typoberlin.de" rel="">TYPO Berlin</a> – and returns to London, the city where it all began.</p> <p>Amongst the highlights are <a href="http://spin.co.uk" rel="">Tony Brook</a> exploring the work of a generation of designers from north of the Watford Gap; <a href="http://www.fontsmith.com" rel="">Jason Smith</a> on making typefaces with personalities; <a href="http://twitter.com/#%21/chipkidd" rel="">Chip Kidd</a> on the commission of a lifetime; and <a href="http://www.daltonmaag.com" rel="">Bruno Maag</a> on how to collaborate with clients. There's also a king speaking (really!). King Bansah – king of Hohoe Ghana – will discuss, along with <a href="http://www.julianzimmermann.com/projects/" rel="">Julian Zimmermann</a> – how to develop an image profile for a real king. Sounds interesting.</p> <img alt="TYPO London speakers" src="http://media.computerarts.co.uk/files/images/2011/blog/speakers.jpg" title="TYPO London speakers" /> <p>To celebrate the event – which should be a cracker – we've teamed up with TYPO London to give away five pairs of tickets for the event – the full three days. Tickets are usually £650+VAT!</p> <p>To be in with a chance of winning, simply tweet @ComputerArts with the hashtag #TYPOLondonticket. Just click <a href="http://twitter.com/home/?status=@ComputerArts%20%23TYPOLondonticket" rel="">here</a> to do it. You must be able to make your way to London for the event.

<p>While watching the Watchmen I thought about this topic:the art of music, specifically in video game and movie design. The right sound for the right scene, for the right display, for the right exhibition, for the right scene. The first trailer for Watchmen used the moody track below from the Smashing Pumpkins. If you have not seen the movie, go and buy the graphic novel and then watch the film. Trust me. The rest are some of my favorite video game trailers, the music is the @#$%! Enjoy.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"> ;</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p style="text-align: center;"> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>this one is just bad ass!</p> <p> </p>

<p style="text-align: center;"></p> <p style="text-align: center;">The Rise of Printmaking in Southern California (video podcast)</p> <p>The art world of the late 1950s experienced a groundswell of interest in printmaking that forever changed the artistic landscape of America. By that time, the most avant-garde of artists had become interested in making editioned works on paper with a press, using methods no longer relegated to a select group who defined themselves solely as “printmakers.” Because this development was still in its germinal stages in the 1950s, however, there existed only a handful of places in the country where eager young artists could learn the techniques of printmaking. Academic institutions tended to favor familiar and conventional intaglio methods, drawing on Rembrandt, Goya and Whistler, art history’s most successful artist-printmakers. Lithography and screenprinting, which suited the growing pop and minimal aesthetic as well as the more painterly approaches of expressionism, were harder for artists to adopt. These methods, traditionally used only for commercial printing, were still in their infancy as fine-art techniques. As a result, they were rarely taught in university art programs, and by the late 1950s, there were only three or four studios in the country that could claim success as fine-art lithography printshops, and even fewer for screenprinting.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://americanhistory.si.edu/prints/09bey06.htm"><img alt="" height="432" src="http://americanhistory.si.edu/prints/images/09bey06.jpg" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="341" /></a><br /> <em>The Sad Flute Player</em> by June Wayne<br /> Lithograph, 1950<br /> <br /> <a href="http://americanhistory.si.edu/prints/09bey07.htm"><img alt="" height="432" src="http://americanhistory.si.edu/prints/images/09bey07.jpg" width="328" /></a><br /> <em>Last Civil War Veteran</em> by Larry Rivers<br /> Color lithograph, published by Universal Limited Art Editions, 1961</p> <p style="text-align: center;"> </p> <p>sources:<br /> http://www.junewayne.com/  <br /> http://www.nortonsimon.org/<br /> http://americanhistory.si.edu/</p>

<p>Here's a little mental exercise I did when I first saw this young man's work. I asked myself how many green people do I know. Here is what I came up with:</p> <p>I know at least 3 people who now drive electric vehicles. One who skateboard's to work. One who bikes. One who is planning on buying a golf cart.</p> <p>Most of my friends (not including the roommate) recycle.</p> <p>My neighborhood located in the "hipster" part of LA has a 3 TrashMasters that patrol our streets all week long, a green one, a blue one and a black one, I will let you figure out what each one picks up at 7 in the morning. Grrrrr!</p> <p>which brings me to Andrew Kim's work from Art Center. Among other projects (innovative minimalistic product design) Kim brings us this greener version of our favorite Coke products. He calls it Next Generation, I call it bad ass design.</p> <p><img alt="" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4057/4435622439_df6bef16ba_o.jpg" width="610" /></p> <p><img alt="" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4042/4473729690_88abd8238b_o.jpg" width="610" /></p>

The Network was transferred to Cumulus Association in 2001.</h6> <h6>Cumulus has been a pioneer in developing jointly organised MA-programmes, intensive workshops, projects and biannual conferences. It has published 'working papers' which have documented the discussions and seminars in conferences, a First Aid Kit to help students and professors in planning mobility actions, kept up a web page, etc. These activities go on.</h6> <h6>During the past twenty years Cumulus has grown in size and ambition. The number of members has grown from 6 to 165 (2010). The members represent most of the European countries and during past years several countries overseas have also joined Cumulus. Member universities represent now 43 different countries. The aim is to build and keep on going a dynamic and flexible academic forum that would bring together top level educational institutions from all parts of the world.</h6> <h6> </h6> </div> <div> <div> <h6> </h6> <div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div>
