Overview

If you’re cursed by the eternal mind battle of whether to use Calibri, Times New Roman, Arial, or Verdana when using Word, then you need to get familiar with Wayne Thompson. With an esteemed career in type concept and design, he’s spent 17 years as an art director in various advertising and design agencies, and worked on the typefont of everything from NRMA to NRL. Needless to say he’s got quite the know how on why Joker isn’t actually the best font for a resume (disputable, but whatever) and why Comics Sans doesn’t scream fun, okay Jerry.

Fortunately for you, Wayne is jetting up from Newcastle to present his workshop, Hindsight, at Jugglers Art Space. Wayne will be leading participants through design process, with reflection on his own journey as a type-master. For anyone in the design world, this is a unique opportunity to get right inside the head of someone who knows all the tricks of the trade, and isn’t afraid to share a few.

Tickets for Hindsight are $15 for students, and $20 for general admission – nab them here.
