SUMMARY:Ed Fella: Exit Level Design\, 1985–2012
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition:  Ed Fella: Exit Level Design\, 1985–2012 curated by Rick Poynor. Monday 31 January – Friday 25 March 2022\, Department of Typography & Graphic Communication\, ToB2\, Earley Gate.  \n The American graphic designer Edward Fella’s career divides into two complementary phases. For 30 years\, Fella (born 1938) worked as a designer\, commercial artist and illustrator in Detroit\, Michigan. In his late 40s\, hoping to teach\, he gained a first degree in graphic design and studied for an MFA at Cranbrook Academy of Art\, then a centre of theoretical thinking and experimental graphic practice. In the second phase of his career – the focus of this exhibition – Fella became\, as he put it\, an “exit level designer”\, leaving clients and commissions behind to teach at California Institute of the Arts and pursue a freewheeling investigation of form unique in contemporary graphic design. After years of professional studio experience\, Fella was a master of diverse graphic styles and hand-lettering. Work that might at first glance seem neglectful of design’s cardinal “rules” came from a deep well of knowledge. He created flyers for lectures by himself and other designers that are loaded with allusions. In his sketchbooks\, he produced a daily stream of collages and drawings best understood as art about design. In his 50s\, Fella became internationally famous for a self-motivated body of work that overflows with invention and surprise. \nCredit: Flyer designed by Ed Fella

SUMMARY:Researching the history of printing in Iran: particularities and challenges
DESCRIPTION:Dr Borna Izadpanah \, Department of Typography\, University of Reading \nThis event is free and open to all. This research seminar will be a hybrid event\, taking place on the University of Reading campus\, Typography Department\, Room A6\, and online. Please register your interest to receive the Zoom link here: \nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/researching-the-history-of-printing-in-iran-particularities-and-challenges-tickets-242664866147  \nThis seminar introduces some of the particularities and challenges that Borna’s recently completed PhD research faced in developing the chapter that deals with the introduction of Arabic-script printing to nineteenth-century Iran. One of the significant aspects of Arabic-script metal types produced in Iran is their extremely minimal use. This is also true of the number of surviving copies of the early Persian publications in Iran which were printed with those types. For example\, the first Qurʾān printed with both typography (1827) and lithography (1834) are limited to two identified copies. Additionally\, the condition of extant copies of books printed in Iran during this period are often extremely poor and\, in many cases\, incomplete.  \nThis presentation demonstrates Borna’s experience of investigating the early Persian publications in Iran\, which shows that many of these publications have yet to be identified. As will be shown\, the discovery of previously unknown publications in libraries or private collections – which is not an infrequent occurrence – often overturns the received history of printing in Iran. \nBorna Izadpanah is a typeface designer and researcher based in London. He holds a PhD in Typography & Graphic Communication from the University of Reading\, where he also graduated with an MA in Typeface Design. His doctoral research explored the history of the early typographic representation of the Persian language. Borna has received numerous prestigious awards for his research and typeface design including the Grand Prize and the First Prize in Arabic Text Typeface in Granshan Type Design Competition\, TDC Certificate of Typographic Excellence\, and the Symposia Iranica Prize for the best paper in Art History.  \nThis research seminar will be a hybrid event\, taking place online and on the University of Reading campus\, Room A6\, Typography Department http://www.reading.ac.uk/web/files/maps/whiteknights-campus-map.pdf (Building number 21 on this map).
