ATypI 2003 Call for Papers

Association Typographique Internationale's (ATypI) annual conference will be in Vancouver, Canada, 24–28 September, 2003. The theme is BETWEEN TEXT & READER: an exploration into the activities, influences, theories and obsessions that exist between the creation of text and the reading of text.

The ATypI 2003 programme planning committee invites submissions of abstracts for presentations on any theme related to type, typography and the creative space between text and reader. Appropriate topics include, but are not limited to: typeface design, typographic media new and old, font technology, printing history, the use of type in graphic design, multilingual typography, and design education. Proposals are welcome for practical demonstrations as well as lectures and panel sessions.

Abstracts should include the title of the proposed presentation, the presenters name(s), and a short summary (approx. 100 words) suitable for publication in the conference programme. Please also indicate the length of the presentation if it is shorter than forty minutes. Forty minutes is the maximum length for a lecture or demonstration, including questions, but panel sessions may run longer and include short presentations by participants.
