Typography Summer School

This summer, Typography Summer School will be offered in New York City for the first time. The New York programme is the result of a collaboration between Muggeridge and Ryan Waller, a designer at Other Means studio and a visiting faculty member at Pratt Institute in New York City.

The original idea was to bring together students from the various graphic design schools around London and the UK; in fact, the programme has attracted an international mix. Muggeridge, also a Reading graduate, has aimed to provide an intimate learning environment, in contrast to the 50+ mega-sized classes that have become common in British undergraduate design programmes. Prices are lower than comparable programmes, to keep the school accessible. Gourmet frills may be left out, but the programme doesn’t scrimp on guest lecturers, who have included Ken Garland, David Pearson and A Practice for Everyday Life (aka Apfel). Past participants have cited the opportunity to meet and learn from some of their design heroes as one of their main reasons for applying.
