10th Annual St Bride Library Conference - We Made This

10th Annual St Bride Library Conference

Just a quick note to mention that tickets are on sale for the 10th Annual St Bride Library Conference, which is themed around the idea of ‘critical tensions’ - and the ways in which designers attempt to balance them.

Speakers include typographer, designer and lecturer Phil Baines; designer and typographer Jonathan Barnbrook; graphic designer Zoë Bather from Studio8; photographer and art director Amelia Gregory; letterpress guru Alan Kitching; typographer Gerry Leonidas; graphic designer Vaughan Oliver; lecturer, author and poster collector Paul Rennie; designer and author Lucienne Roberts; tech and ideas man Jack Schulze from Berg; Steve Watson; design lecturer Rebecca Wright; and illustrator Derek Yates.

That's a fairly solid collection of wisdom and experience - should be good.

The conference is on Thursday 10 and Friday 11 November 2011. Get your tickets here.
