L.A. Corrall
Typography and Storytelling
Storytelling is an integral part of the work we do, not only as type designers, but as designers in general, and especially as brand designers. At COLLINS, storytelling is an essential skill. Not only does it help our clients find greater significance in their own brands, but it also provides a compelling means of communicating why we’ve made specific design decisions. In this talk, L.A. will walk through a few COLLINS case studies to reveal the stories and deeper meaning behind the typography. He also plans to share some personal work and a story about how he accidentally stole something from Matthew Carter.
