Why TYPEONE magazine is a must-read for graphic designers


TYPEONE magazine isn't just a beautifully designed print publication; it's also full of key insights about the evolving interaction between typography and graphic design. Read on to find out what it's all about.

what a time to be a designer. While the 2020s has certainly been a tumultuous decade, world events have accelerated existing business, technological and cultural trends in a way that's brought design skills into high demand as brands across the globe scramble to adapt, evolve and survive.



Designers everywhere can thrive in this new-new normal – as long as they stay relevant. But it can be tricky to keep up with the latest trends and stay on top of everything that's happening. Type is one of those areas where it's especially vital to stay ahead of the curve, as it's now changing at a breakneck pace, thanks to the explosion of type design tools.

It's natural to turn to the web to keep you up-to-date. And there are many blogs and online magazines, including Creative Boom, that can help. But we're the first to admit that will only get you so far.

Why? Firstly, despite this being a digital age, type is still largely a physical medium. From books and newspapers to posters, billboards and signage, typographical designs need to work as much in the analogue world on screens. And that means studying how type works in a physical environment.

Environment Design: How to design a study space for kids in an online school?


In simple words, environment design is organizing your nearby surroundings in a way that you are tricked into doing what you should do, and forget about things you shouldn’t. It’s a two-step process where good habits have to be ‘in your face,’ easy to do, and fun, while the bad habits are extremely hard to access, unrewarding and unsatisfying. For the learning environment, visual cues that serve as reminders to study or perform school-related tasks should be incorporated into the environment designs, while limiting or removing distractions that may disrupt online school hours.


Environment Design: How to design a study space for kids in an online school?



The digital age has no dearth of distractions. For kids in online schools, access to the internet also means exposure to social media, Netflix, and other distractions. But parents can block all these distractions and curate a student-friendly screen experience. A practical example of this approach: Go into your child’s device and open Screen Time Settings. There, you can set a certain downtime, which allows you to block all other applications except ones you approve, to ensure the child pays all attention to online school. Similarly, you can set daily limits for app categories as well as communication limits during screen time.

Here’s why: Our brain loves association. It’s making connections and triggers to different cues without your permission, all the time. Think of how if you went to the washroom right now and sat on the toilet seat, you would end up peeing after a few minutes even if you hadn’t intended to. That’s because to your mind, sitting on the toilet seat equals urination. Similarly, if you reserve a certain space in your home for your child to use only when they are in an online school, and nothing else, his/her brain will start associating that table or chair, or area of the house, with studying.

Design dealers set the tone at Tefaf New York


“Tefaf New York is quite different than Tefaf Maastricht,” says the furniture dealer Stephane Danant of the French design gallery Demisch Danant. His stand has shown at both editions of the fair since 2015 and he serves on the selection committee for design galleries at the Dutch edition. “At the New York fair, because we are limited, it’s about about having a nice display on the floor and the walls,” he says.

The average stand size of 60 square metres enjoyed by the 270 galleries at Tefaf Maastricht is double that for this year’s New York fair, which is in the historical Park Avenue Armory. The 90 galleries at Tefaf New York (11-16 May) have around 30 sq. m of space each on average. This is especially challenging for the fair’s 15 design-focused galleries, whose directors have to deliberate about every square inch as furniture and objects—as opposed to two-dimensional art on walls—fill the space much faster. “We bring the best of the best for the room, whilst most dealers bring the same for the walls,” says British dealer Adrian Sassoon.

“In Maastricht, you have a bit more room to play with, while in New York, every gallery has to bring their best,” says Will Korner, Tefaf’s head of fairs. “Dealers also usually focus on fewer artists.”

Each team takes a different approach. For Danant, an art fair that values connoisseurship and design is the perfect opportunity to pair his French post-war furniture with historic art on the walls—this year, five large sculptural pieces by the Paris-based American textile artist Sheila Hicks—thereby appealing to a wider range of collectors.
