Type design videos?

Fernando Díaz

Hey TypeDrawers,

I've been trying to create a kind of video repertoire about type-design today (conferences, technology, etc...)
This is what I've found so far (only Youtube & Vimeo): https://playmoss.com/en/fernando-diaz,

But I'm sure there are many more interesting stuff I didn't see... That's why I come to you. Do you know any interesting videos related to type design?

I was thinking that perhaps we could create a sub section inside Type Drawers, or in a separate website. That complies (in an orderly fashion) videos for type education... 

Perhaps they could be order by level (beginner, intermediate, advanced) and/or also by subject (conferences, software, languages, hinting, etc...)

What do you think? Anyone is willing to help? 

Thank you!

I think Alonzo Felix did a series for Skillshare, and they should have some lettering videos, too.

Maybe not exactly what you mean, but Seb Lester's speed videos of himself lettering are pretty fun to watch: http://seblester.tumblr.com

Oops, almost forgot the TypeCon videos (mostly from 2014):

Thanks Mark for the material!

This is nice!

Here is a YouTube channel I made some time ago: typeseries

This is turning into a terrific resource! Thank you all (Mark especially). Perhaps this should be turned into a category of its own, so it can be accessed from the menu bar.

Fernando Díaz

Exactly, that's what I've proposed on the thread. 

@Stephen Coles   What do you think?

Stephen Coles

A sorted collection of videos is certainly useful, but I'm not sure a discussion board category is the right venue for it. Seems better suited for a wiki hosted elsewhere. Still, thanks for starting the thread, Fernando! I hope people keep adding to it. 

Nina Stössinger

This is really cool!
Some more conference videos, hope I’m not duplicating anything:
Kerning Conference (all years so far)
Ampersand 2013
Webfontday Munich 2014
Webfontday 2012
Tobias Frere-Jones at Design Indaba 2010
Andy Clymer: Designing Obsidian

Chris Lozos

Seems better suited for a wiki hosted elsewhere

As in where else?  Couldn't you post a link to it as is and just let it happen here?

Stephen Coles

A wiki allows for continuous, collaborative editing of a single document. Forums are better for linear discussions. I'm not saying that the listing of videos here should stop, just suggesting that someone create a wiki or Google doc with categories, links, and consistent formatting which anyone could edit.

Diana Ovezea recently posted some long-form type design screencasts - blog at http://www.ovezea.com/one-hour-type-design-part-1/ and videos so far at

LeMo aka PatternMan aka Frank E Blokland

mostly about type

After all that type stuff I thought it was time for some real culture, so I ‘liked’ the performance of Bach’s Concerto for 2 Violins in D minor, BWV 1043. The two soloists are Eleonora & Eleonora, respectively my wife and daughter. This was their first public appearance together a few months ago. Perhaps the performance was not completely spot on, but I love it!

Fernando Díaz

This website has a similar concept of what we want to do:
http://screenings.io/

Perhaps a tumblr?

Fernando Díaz

Well, I've made something, what do you think?

http://typedesignvids.tumblr.com/

(It's just a draft... the header and spacing is horrible)

Fernando Díaz

Yes, the name doesn't correspond with the title... Now i've fixed it...

http://typograhpyvideos.tumblr.com

Any suggestions?

Mark Simonson

Seems like it should have a Type Design or Typeface Design section.

Fernando Díaz

What kind of videos would you upload there?

Which leads to: What do you think the sections and content should be?

Dave Crossland

Tumblr is cool but I think http://screenings.io/page/about is maybe a better venue, as they are already building up an audience, and inviting contributions

I've suggested a type design section added to complement their existing typography channel at https://github.com/TelescopeJS/Screenings/issues/6

Fernando Díaz

Cool! Thanks Dave!

Is there a posiblity to have sub-sections?

Mark Simonson

I would categorize the videos by Diana Ovezea above as type design.

Fernando Díaz

Here is how it's coming up!

PS: @Dave Crossland  any news about Screenings?

Mark Simonson

Nice!

Dave Crossland

No news yet, will update here if any
