Typography 36 - The annual of the type directors club

For the post sixty-one years, the Type Directors Club has encouraged the graphic arts community to achieve excellence in typography through annual competitions. Typography 36 is the TDC's newest annual volume devoted exclusively to typography ; the book presents the finest work in this field from 2014. Selected from more than 2000 international submissions to the sixty-first Type Directors Club competition, the 271 winning designs are models of excellence and innovation in contemporary type design.
This year's selection encompasses a wide range of categories, including books, magazines, corporate identities, logotypes, packaging, video and web graphics, and posters. In addition, this year's volume features the results of the club's eighteenth annual typeface design competition, TDC2015. Each winning entry is displayed in full color and is accompanied by the complete information about the designer, client, typography and more.
This edition also includes a special index listing the principal typefaces used with the names of their designers. The Judges' Choice sections future the winning entries that have been singled out as each judge's personal favorite ; and these pieces are accompanied not only by the judges' comments but also by statements from the designers about their creative process involved in developing each piece.
These components—along with this year's chairs, Doug Clouse and Roberto de Vicq de Cumptich - exemplify the enormous vitality of the typography profession today.
