SHORT PARAGRAPH
We know that type can have a personality, but what if type could breathe, grow, talk or walk; even live or die? Join us to celebrate type's other life off the page and in the real world as designers and typophiles alike meet to discuss how type can be an experience. Engage yourself in panel discussions, presentations, and hands-on activities with seasoned designers (like STEFAN SAGMEISTER!!!) to define just what constitutes an experience and how kinetic materials can inform and enhance your design practice. Careful, you may never want to get back onto the page after this weekend.

REFINED DESIGNER BLURB
Austrian native, Stefan Sagmeister has been around; design-wise at least. After getting his BFA from Vienna's University of Applied Arts and his MFA from Pratt University, Sagmeister worked for Leo Burnett (1991) and Tibor Kalman's M&Co (1995) before opening his own studio Sagmeister, Inc in 1996 where he has worked for various clients including The Rolling Stones, AIGA, and Lou Reed. His success has allowed him to close his studio's doors to outside work for 2 one year long periods to do personally directed design work. These hiatuses have allowed for extreme experimentation with tangible type leaving everyone to wonder "What will he do next?"

Info-Arch: Charette results
Some images of my brainstorming corner:
as far as possible sorting methods, here are the ones from the list above sorted by LATCH.
Location
-where i saw the band play
-acquisition
Alphabetical
-band name a to z
Time
-acquisition
Category
-color
-whether its a local band or a nationally known band
-genres
-genders of the band members
-novelty type/style of type
-condition
-attachments to the band (whether I have a relationship with the members or not)
-if i made any of them
Hierarchy
-presence of type, type and image, or just image
-background/foreground hierarchy
I have chosen to sort my buttons by color,
type/type & image/image,
and foreground/background hierarchy.
------------------------------------------------------
Some of my ideas for infographics are as follows:
mapping/comparison-frequency of color used (can function as micro and macro)
process-layers of a button (micro)
mapping-development of the button over time (macro)
process-how buttons are made (micro)
