SEMINAR RESPONSE

Typography seminar

During this seminar , Lorraine discussed the word Typography and what it means. I learned that Typography is a term used to describe how type is arranged on a layout.

Many of serif fonts we use now can be traced back to Ancient Rome or Greece Times, such as the font times new roman.

Gothic calligraphy script was known was Blackletter. Johannas guttenburg created first ever typeface black letter. This was groundbreaking because it had the potential to be accepted by the masses

Roman type styles become popularised in 16th century bc easier to read and aesthetically pleasing

With invention of computers in 20th century , fonts digital version of typefaces become the new currency in typography.

Due to the limitations of screen technology,many fonts were cut out and comic sans was extremely popular.

Then Lorraine asked an vital question. Why is typography important ?

It’s how we show appreciation for each other. It’s how we communicate. It keeps us safe (expiry dates , labelling on food and medicine , on roads and signs )

It’s everywhere in our daily routine .

Influential typographers illustrators and designers from the seminar that inspired me:

Paula scher is a contemporary American artist and graphic designer best known for her posters , logo design and album covers.

Paula believes that the job of the designer is to make things understandable, usable , accessible and enjoyable and importsnt to the public , that involves the Public. For each piece she analyses upwards of 50 different sources. Airline flight patterns, bus times , mileage between cities - some examples

Patterns begin to emerge in her mind and she renders them onto canvas . Unorthodox spacing mixed fonts colours and weights.

Drake and burgess Johnson. American photographers and designers

Crafted typographic atmospheric imagery for the 1975’s album visuals.

Offering pink neon lights spelling out song titles and set in various backdrops to evoke the sentiment of each tune.

I think these images are so beautiful and there’s something really tranquil and quiet about them

And finally Stephen Powers , an American contemporary artist and muralist. He has created murals in Dublin and Belfast with the assistance of local teenagers. His work in Belfast was inspired by the areas political murals.

I learned from this seminar that anything can be used as a typeface, from shadows to the food we eat. Typography allows you to be super creative and it can be very interactive.

Photography is also a big part in typography which I like.

BOOK REVIEW: THEMES FOR GREAT CITIES by Graeme Thomson (2023)

THEMES FOR GREAT CITIES is a book of brilliant things with compiler Graeme Thomson shining a terrific light on Scottish rock band SIMPLE MINDS in a NEW HISTORY.

SIMPLE MINDS were fired like a bullet onto centre-stage thanks to prime-time TV/radio and pop press coverage, more so around the time of their Live Aid appearance in 1985. Front-man Jim Kerr, sweating, dancing, arms-aloft, stepping in and out of the spotlight but always on mic with message and purpose.

This brand new red paperback out now on Little Brown features insightful interviews with Kerr, Charlie Burchill (guitarist) and other relevant others. Key players of course include top producers, John Leckie (Magazine, XTC) and Steve Lillywhite (U2, Ultravox), plus a master of graphic design, Malcolm Garrett (Duran Duran, Heaven 17).

As a teenager, the first two SIMPLE MINDS 45's I bought were 'Waterfront' (UK No.13, 1983) and 'Speed Your Love To Me' (UK No.20, 1984). I loved their heavier sound, which it seems they’d been darkly developing since their 1977 punk days, perhaps even flirting sonically with U2, who also had progressed from making lighter notes work much harder for them by the mid-80s (and then -likewise - beyond / ongoing).

That said, in 1982, the trio of UK hit singles: ‘Promised You A Miracle’ (No.13), ‘Glittering Prize’ (No.16) and ‘Someone Somewhere In Summertime’ (No.36) were all unusual sounding and that made them more wonderful compared to some other run-of-the-mill records on the charts; and for me, it’s still hard to choose between their (suggest) best album’s, New Gold Dream (1982) and Sparkle In The Rain (1984). Both inventive, and marvellously imaginative.   

In 1985, I saw the Breakfast Club (film) and never forgot the part SIMPLE MINDS played in its commercial success, and in 1989 was just one of the 200,000 record-buyers who helped 'Belfast Child' to the No.1 spot (their first and only UK No.1 single. However, their albums regularly made No.1 or close to and worldwide).

Since their beginning, the band searched for a sound like nothing else around town and through perseverance and inventiveness have obviously succeeded, capturing perhaps the biggest city of all, Néapolis (1998).

THEMES FOR GREAT CITIES is produced with much love by a passionate fan, and gifted writer. As it says on the cover, "An Uncut And Hot Press Book Of The Year" and I can only endorse those and other such sentiments which sparkle in their reign.

Rating: 10/10

​​Luke Miller said: "Hi Marc, For St. Patrick's day Kathleen and I are both taking the day off work. We are going to spend most of the day at a local Irish Pub that is having live music all day including the band Beltaine which has been on the podcast. That night we are seeing The Gothard Sisters in concert."

Bart Creedon emailed: "Hello Marc  -  1. Living the life of Reilly, since I was fortunate enough to be able to retire last July. 2. I'll sport a little green, consume a little Guinness and look to stay out of too much trouble.  3. I've been listening to Delia Murphy's recordings.  My curiosity was piqued having encountered a fictionalized version of her in Joseph O'Connor's "My Father's House", a novel primarily about Hugh O'Flaherty's exploits during WWII in Nazi - occupied Rome.  I also discovered that Joseph O'Connor is brother to Sinead O'Connor, one of my favorite Irish singers. Thanks for asking."

DawnMarie Sharit replied: "I listen while I am doing tedious work, because it gets done so much faster, and I typically have a huge smile on my face, if not a wistful tear in my eye!"

Kelly Frenette replied to my email: "Let's see.... Of course I'd love a bonus episode! What are you doing while listening? Wood turning, resin casting or driving. I'm keeping my ancestry alive and remembering the celtic history. I always have it playing in the background while I work."

AI ART The first is Chat GPT. Chat can provide you with any ideas. Literally, whatever you want. I just asked for some ideas for the artwork. One minute, done. The second one is Midjourney. You’re just putting your text request and AI visualizing it. With background or without, 2D, 3D, any style, whatever you want. Midjourney understands only text and it generates a unique image. I checked some results in a Google search through images and all of the images are unique. For sure, it uses patterns but it doesn’t work in a dumb way. So it could help with any graphics, design assets, and unique visual materials generation. Like one minute and done. Next, you could do anything you want with that graphics or ideas. I took art because it doesn’t have any boundaries. It could be random, it could be creative. Short instructions on how to produce results like the below, but your own. 1. Open chat.openai.com and ask your question. For this post, I used ‘Give me 10 ideas for crazy art. Maybe Van Gogh something, something futuristic, maybe floral’ and ‘Pretend that you are an art expert. Generate 10 new ideas of an abstract simple art’. It will help you to generate detailed descriptions or just to find new ideas. 2. Open midjourney.com and request to imagine descriptions from Chat GPT. One of the results in a post is from this result from chat ‘An abstract landscape made of colorful and textured shapes’. You need to read an article or watch a short video on how to start using it if you get the struggle. If you don’t like the result, you could just ask to regenerate another one. #art #aiart #ai #chatgpt #midjourney (at Belfast) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoUtKwGNPdR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Border-Bound: The Belfast Conundrum, published in AArchitecture no. 37 (the Architectural Association’s student publication)

While the irreconcilability of Brexit and the Belfast Agreement was barely discussed as an issue during the referendum campaign in 2016, it has since become a lynchpin around which the politics of the UK, Ireland and the EU have revolved. With each party pursuing individual agendas and strategising in the shifting political sands, the people and the ‘peace’ in Northern Ireland have become bargaining chips and a proxy battleground for the wider geopolitical tussle between larger powers and the divided factions within them.

For the walls that marr Belfast’s townscape, called ‘peace lines’ or ‘peace walls’, there is an ironic paradox inherent in their name — how can such militarised, defensive architecture ever create a genuine peace? Unlike the overwhelming resentment of the Berlin Wall by communities on both sides, the situation in Belfast is more ambiguous, with a growing substantial minority wishing for the walls to remain. Though intentions for segregation were originally to keep feuding communities safe from one other, there is also a subtext of containing the minority and obscuring the Other; they have served as architectural enablers of mutual suspicion, isolation and irreconciliation. While the Northern Ireland Executive has a target of removing all peace walls by 2023, there is little prospect of progress. With a substantial number of peace walls actually built after the paramilitary ceasefire and the Belfast Agreement, they illustrate a complicated and incomplete ‘peace’ the province is just about holding together. The combination of a sectarian urbanism in its walled cities with an absence of any wall on the Irish border forms the territorial oxymoron on which Northern Irish ‘peace’ is built, and its delicate illusion may be shattered. Seeking a substitute form of cognitive dissonance and constructive ambiguity to appease all parties again, after the upheaval of Brexit, could become the new struggle of a generation.
