Two weeks ago I attended TypoLondon 2011, a three-days design conference, which was elaborated at the London Institute of Education, University of London.

TypoLondon is a sister conference of TypoBerlin and is organized by FontShop International. This year it's theme was 'Places'. 'Places explores our changing world, our surroundings, how we interact with people and our understanding of the environments we pass through.' 35 speakers -graphic designers, artists, film makers, type designers etc- presented their work and their thoughts towards design, advertising, typography, new media; towards the word really.

There were a lot of enthousiastic attendees and a host of fantastic speakers amongst them; Tony Brook (Spin), Lawrence Weiner, Neville Brody, It's nice that, Marina Willer (Wolf Ollins), Jonathan Barnbrook (Virus Fonts), Jason Smith (Fontsmith) and many others.
