Wim Crouwel Lecture - pictures

For those who couldn’t be at this lecture, you will find here some picture of this great moment.

Like every of his appearence, Wim Crouwel gave us a great opportunity to know who he is, what he likes and how he works. It’s always refreshing to hear him talk about his life, his passion for design and typography. Yesterday, two main things took my attention. First, one sentence “The designer is here to serve the public“. This sentence has always be my way of design. “Use the form to serve the content“. Second, he also talked a lot about his passion, since always, for architecture. If you take a look at his work, it’s obvious all the grids and type he used are influenced by architecture, lines and formes.

He was also here for signing his new book “Architectures typographiques“, design by Experimental Jetset and published by F7. I’ll suggest you to buy this book but also the great retrospective made by japanese magazine IDEA.

    I thought it helpful to point out/tag that Wim Crouwel is Dutch.
