News 11.2010 / ISTD 2100 Student Assessment Briefs
The ISTD (International Society of Typographic Designers) is a global professional body run by, and for, graphic designers, typographers and educators. For over 30 years the body has run a scheme aimed at assessing and acknowledging typographic standards within design education. The Australasian judging took place in November, 2010, and both Dominic Hofstede and Wendy Ellerton were invited to participate by the ISTD’s local co-ordinator, Becky Chilcott. An intensive day of assessment alongside some of our industry’s finest typographic enthusiasts proved a revealing and fulfilling experience. Work emanating from Massey University in New Zealand was a revelation.
