Jonno and I attended a great Typecon workshop this year - Experimental Type. It was run by three great gals:
Michelle Bowers, Amelia Irwin & Nicole Kilian.
It was equal parts Kindergarten Art Class & Design School. The gals were encouraging us to just grab some materials and be inspired by random play. You can view the rest of the class's awesome work on flickr
Type in motion!
