Modern Typography in Print and Digital Media

Pacific New Media presents Dan Leuck's workshop on Modern Typography. This workshop provides an introduction to typography from both a design and a technical perspective. Explore the use of type in print and digital media in applications ranging from web design to logo work. Examine little-known features in modern font technology that allow designers to be more expressive in their use of high-quality fonts. The focus is on the use of type in western languages, but the use of type in Japan is also covered. The goal of the workshop is to help participants learn how to create beautiful designs using type within the unique constraints of each medium.

Daniel Leuck is a software development executive with management experience in the United States, Japan, Russia, and the U.K. As a technologist he serves on various standards boards and organizations including the groups standardizing the Java language and platform, Java Modules, Scientific Units, and the Swing Application Framework. Leuck is active in the Java and .NET open source communities and lectures at universities and various conferences on social media, software architecture, UI design, and managing technical teams. He helped launch the Tech Hui social network for technology professionals in Hawai‘i – www.techhui.com and is online at www.ikayzo.com and www.javaui.net.

Unfortunately, I'll be on Kauai. Looks really interesting, though!
