\n<\/em>Pedro Amado: Modular Typographic Systems
\n<\/strong>Lecture and workshop<\/p>\n

Alumnes i professors del CFGS de Gr\u00e0fica Interactiva<\/strong> han seguit la confer\u00e8ncia i taller \u201cSistemes Tipogr\u00e0fics Modulars\u201d de Pedro Amado<\/strong> de l'1 al 3 de febrer de 2023.<\/p>\n

Pedro Amado \u00e9s actualment el director del M\u00e0ster en Disseny Gr\u00e0fic i Projectes Editorials, i professor adjunt de Tipografia i Disseny de Tipus, Disseny Web i Codificaci\u00f3 Creativa a la Facultat de Belles Arts de la Universitat de Porto \/ FBAUP que \u00e9s un de les nostres institucions partners en el programa ERASMUS.<\/p>\n

La seva confer\u00e8ncia va presentar una breu visi\u00f3 general dels sistemes tipogr\u00e0fics modulars passats i actuals per introduir la modularitat i promoure el pensament de disseny computacional en els estudiants assistents, mostrant l'her\u00e8ncia visual d'artistes visuals portuguesos com Maria Keil i Ant\u00f3nio Quadros Ferreira, tip\u00f2grafs com Paulo de Cantos i dissenyadors de tipus contemporanis com Dino dos Santos o Jorge dos Reis. I artistes computacionals contemporanis internacionals com Manolo Gamboa Naon i Amanda van Wallinga Haverkamp o dissenyadors gr\u00e0fics com Paul McNeil i Hamish Muir com a referents influents i estudis de casos per al desenvolupament dels seus propis m\u00e8todes i llenguatge visual.<\/p>\n

En un taller de tres dies, els participants van produir un senzill sistema de patrons modulars de resoluci\u00f3 m\u00faltiple basat en Truchet amb el llenguatge de processament. L'objectiu \u00e9s implementar un sistema capa\u00e7 d'exportar formes o composicions de lletres modulars generatives com a fitxers vectorials que posteriorment es puguin utilitzar o desenvolupar en projectes tipogr\u00e0fics m\u00e9s complexos.<\/p>\n

El programa del taller es va organitzar en tres sessions de treball principals. Primer, una introducci\u00f3 als blocs de construcci\u00f3 del codi, com ara dades, operacions i instruccions, variables i funcions prim\u00e0ries (dibuix). Aix\u00f2 permetr\u00e0 dibuixos b\u00e0sics amb forma personalitzada. En segon lloc, dibuixos modulars basats en procediments i transformacions de matrius, condicions, bucles i exportaci\u00f3 de gr\u00e0fics. Aix\u00f2 permet crear una composici\u00f3 modular o forma de lletra i explorar les seves variacions. I finalment, personalitzar el codi, dissenyar els seus patrons i modificar el sistema per produir un sistema tipogr\u00e0fic.<\/p>\n

From Abroad 2022-23 Talks and lectures in English about Art and Design
\n<\/em>Pedro Amado: Modular Typographic Systems
\n<\/strong>Lecture and workshop
\nFrom 1st<\/sup> to 3rd<\/sup> February\u00a0 2023\u00a0 \/ 09:00 -13:00\u00a0 \/ room 12<\/p>\n

Students and teachers from Interactive Graphics department have followed the lecture and workshop \u201cModular Typographic Systems\u201d by Pedro Amado from February\u00a0 1 to 3, 2023.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

Pedro Amado is currently the director of the Master in Graphic Design and Editorial Projects, and an Assistant Professor of Typography and Typeface Design, Web Design, and Creative Coding at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Porto \/ FBAUP which is one of our ERASMUS partners institutions.<\/em><\/p>\n

His lecture presented a brief overview of past and current modular typographic systems to\u00a0introduce modularity and promote computational design thinking in the attending students by\u00a0showcasing the visual heritage of Portuguese visual artists such as Maria Keil and Ant\u00f3nio Quadros Ferreira, typographers such as Paulo de Cantos and contemporary Type Designers such as Dino dos Santos or Jorge dos Reis. And International contemporary computational artists such as Manolo Gamboa Naon and Amanda van Wallinga Haverkamp or graphic designers such as Paul McNeil and Hamish Muir as\u00a0influential\u00a0references and case studies for the development of their own methods and visual language.<\/em><\/p>\n

In a three-day workshop\u00a0 participants produced a simple Truchet-based modular multi-resolution pattern system with the Processing language. The goal is to implement a system capable of exporting generative modular\u00a0letter shapes or compositions as vector files that can later be employed or further developed in more complex typographic projects.<\/em><\/p>\n

The program of the workshop was organized into three main work sessions. First, an introduction to the code\u2019s building blocks, such as data, operations and instructions, variables, and primary (drawing) functions. This will allow for basic custom-shaped drawings. Second,\u00a0<\/em>procedural-based modular drawing and matrix transformations, conditions, loops, and exporting graphics. This\u00a0allows creating a modular composition or letter shape and exploring its variations. And finally, customize<\/em>\u00a0the code, design their patterns, and tweak the system to produce a typographic system.<\/em><\/p>\n
