TYPO Berlin 2009 – Space

Twelve hours from now I will be in Berlin to attend TYPO Berlin 2009.

Graphic design encompasses the third dimension. More and more visual designers are staging their ideas dimensionally, beginning from the plastic button of an iPhone application to installations that fill entire rooms. This trend is the result of the digitalization of design. Some use the new tools to perfect their designs, while others feel driven out of virtual reality back to real life, often out of denial. Both these poles – and everything in between – are the theme of the TYPO Berlin 2009 SPACE conference.

I don't know if and when I'll be able to post in the following days, so keep an eye on the TYPOBerlin Blog and Flickr pool. I am back on Monday.
