Project: Tgm annual 2018
Client: Typographische Gesellschaft Muenchen
Services: Editorial, concept, visuals, creative direction

The Typographic Society Munich is the largest organisation in Europe for typographers and designers. Since being founded in 1874 the designers’ club establishes a foundation for sophisticated and interdisciplinary thinking and dialogues among content and form, text and photo, tradition and innovation. As Chairwoman of the club I curated several lectures in the last years, inviting design and typography celebrities. Throughout the years designers like Stefan Sagmeister, Mirko Borsche, Eike König, Mario Lombardo, Sascha Lobe, Fons Hickmann or Kurt Weidemann to name a view, followed these invitations and appreciated the warm welcome of our community.
To show the wide range of offerings we created a yearbook. To give the content based complexity of our proposal a clear and neat arrangement, the new release is a compilation of four different books, which should invite the reader to inform themselves, to browse, to experience and to participate. The first one exposes all the topics, facts and dates for the further education programs. Part two presents all the people and their stories who are involved in the club, who are on stage and behind the scenes. The third book is a journey into the past and also the future of tgm’s conferences, excursions and other specials. And finally the notebook offers room for the reader’s own ideas and a future dialogue with tgm.

Every offer under the roof of tgm is a result of solidarity. It is a result of people and companies who are united by the common interest in typographic quality. This project has only been possible with the support of Kösel Druck GmbH & Co Kg, Geese Paper, mycolorserver and the collaboration with Boah Kim
