Jonathan Barnbrook
For the typographers out there we have a treat in store for you with Jonathan Barnbrook speaking at the Plus Festival. Barnbrook is arguably most-recognised for his work on the cover artwork of David Bowie's 2002 album Heathen which featured the debut for his 'Priori' typeface. This is particularly appropriate as Barnbrook cites record cover artwork as an early design influence, and possibly the interest that drew him to graphic design. Other well known fonts designed by Barnbrook (and released through 'VirusFonts') include Bastard, Exocet, False Idol, Infidel, Moron, Newspeak, Olympukes, Sarcastic, Shock & Awe, and Tourette. Many have emotive and controversial titles reflecting the style and themes of Barnbrook's work. From 1997-2003 Barnbrook collaborated with Damien Hirst, most notably on the design, layout and typography of his book 'I Want To Spend the Rest of My Life Everywhere, with Everyone, One to One, Always, Forever, Now', and on artwork associated with his restaurant Pharmacy.9/01/2008
MarieJoe Raidy Douaihy
Mariejoe Raidy Douaihy. Creative Director from the Raidy Printing Group in the Lebanon will be speaking at Plus this November. Mariejoe will be talking about the role of leadership in the printing industry. In the fast changing world of printing and technology, where typography, design and printing come into one, where the creative is combined with the technical and concepts mingle with reality constraints, the role of leadership and consultancy play are vital for a quality end product.
