    Friday 29th November 2024, 2pm-7pm

    Using typography to create engaging editorial design, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to combine literary wit with visual storytelling. Join Astrid in an immersive journey of discovery inspired by Ambrose Bierce’s timeless satirical work, The Devil’s Dictionary. Through a combination of lectures, hands-on exercises, individual and group discussions, participants will gain insight into editorial design principles while honing their skills in crafting compelling visual narratives.

    Layout — Learn strategies to integrate typography seamlessly into layout designs, creating a cohesive reading experience.

    Typography — Explore the art of using typography as a tool to enhance the mood and tone of the definitions and designs. Practice typographic design through interactive exercises, translating definitions into visually compelling narratives.

    Collaborative Critique — Engage in peer critiques and group discussions to refine design choices, encouraging constructive feedback and fostering creative growth.

    Participants will gain a deeper understanding of editorial design principles, harnessing the potential of typography as a versatile tool to bring content to life through captivating, unexpected and insightful editorial designs. Insights into the delicate balance between content and form, whilst infusing their own creative expression into visual narratives.

    This workshop is for anyone who has a passion for books, typography and the construction of narratives. Who have a basic knowledge of editorial design (typography, pagination etc). Participants should bring along a laptop computer and have Adobe InDesign installed.

    Class size is limited to 16 students for an engaging experience.

    Organiser

    Established in 1891 with a clear social and cultural purpose, St Bride Foundation is one of London’s hidden gems.

    Housed in a beautiful Grade II listed Victorian building, St Bride Foundation was originally set up to serve the burgeoning print and publishing trade of nearby Fleet Street, and is now finding a new contemporary audience of designers, printmakers and typographers who come to enjoy a regular programme of design events and workshops.

    Many thousands of books, printing-related periodicals and physical objects are at the heart of St Bride Library. Volumes on the history of printing, typography, newspaper design and paper-making jostle for space alongside one of the world’s largest and most significant collections of type specimens. The printed, written, carved and cast word may be found at St Bride in its myriad forms. Architectural lettering and examples of applied typography in many media, together with substantial collections of steel punches and casting matrices for metal types are also held in this eclectic collection. The Reading Room is open to visitors twice a month and on other days by appointment. Although we operate on a cost-neutral basis, it is necessary to charge for some of our services. Details are available by emailing the library team at library@sbf.org.uk.

    St Bride retains many of its original features, including the baths, laundry, printing rooms and library. As part of the Foundation’s original mission to provide for the community, many of the building’s unique and characterful spaces are available to hire whether for meetings, weddings or classes.

    St Bride also houses the popular Bridewell Theatre, and Bridewell Bar (once the laundry), and hosts a year-round programme of plays, comedy, music and exhibitions.

    With some 65,000 visitors a year St Bride Foundation is a major London hub for the creative arts in London. We look forward to welcoming you soon.
