During our last week and short trip to Treviso, we stopped at type museum and workshop, Tipoteca. As a designer who loves good type, I was fangirling hardcore over all their letterpresses! At UT we have a few, but they had a monotype, linotype, and so many others I had never heard of before. We even got to make a poster collaboratively, commemorating our fantastic trip. We decided on a design that said the name of the course, “Design in Context,” but instead in Italian, which turns out to be Design in Contesto. Thank you, Jessica, for the translation!! Then we put names of all the designers that we saw while studying in Milano, in the background. I was really pleased with how it turned out!
We picked out the typefaces, and colors, which took a while. It was the first time that all of us worked on an actual design together. The wonderful typographers of Tipoteca were patient with our large group of 16! Tipoteca was an amazing experience and I think that Kevin and Carma from UT would have gone crazy there as much as all of us did!
