Conference Talk

Min Lew

What Does Type Have to do With Brexit, Bagatelle, JayZ, and a Love Story?

As designers, we all have a love affair with type. It is our love language. Yet, type can be a powerful business tool. Min will share an eclectic mix of approaches on how type can play a crucial role in translating a business strategy into an irrational love for a brand.

This talk is scheduled to take place , 2024, at New York time (/UTC) as part of the main Typographics conference. Conference registration is required to attend in person.
