Roman Wilhelm: Multilingual typography 羅小弟主講：多語文字設計

Communication Design public lecture

Multilingual Typography
多語文字設計

Multilingual media can look back on a long tradition from the early days of writing to mass communication in the information age. Multi-script typography has become a cornerstone of today’s visual communication. If one decides to specialize in this field, then how will it affect one’s perception of design? In this lecture, Roman will explain his passion for trans-cultural issues in visual communication and the potential of typography in this context either by a number of his own works, fun and serious, academic projects or historic examples of various cultures and periods. (This lecture will be in English).
