From and Beyond Design: Conversations with Master of Design Students at Emily Carr University, 2024

From and Beyond Design: Publishing and Typographic Cultures


Listen Later

A roundtable discussion on "Publishing and Typographic Cultures" with graduating Master of Design students Sabid Ali, Diego Hernandez, Howsem Huang, and Liyang Zha, who sometimes uses the moniker Charlie. Hosted by Robin Mitchell Cranfield.

This conversation was recorded in April of 2024 at Emily Carr University as part of our Thesis Project Seminar on Dissemination. 

Our conversation began with the question, “What role does materiality have in your processes?”

From there we discussed the potentials of working with both traditional technologies, like Riso printing on paper, and emerging technologies, like 3D printing. We also considered the role of publishing in building community, print design as a process of archiving, navigating our sometimes- overwhelming and fragmented information environment, lo-fi aesthetics and nostalgia, the expressive potential of production, and the future of publication design.

Title and artwork for this podcast series are from the students' catalogue, From and Beyond Design: A Collection of Design Research Explorations.

Special thanks to Katherine Gillieson who was Associate Dean of the Master of Design program at the time of these recordings, and Brady Cranfield for our music.
