”Now I need to get off my arse and fill an application form.”

I realize it’s slightly delayed response :) but did you eventually?

If you did, I’d be grateful for any information on how the process went. I know from your blog that you went to KABK and not to the WT finally, but you may have gone through some of the earlier stages of admission...

Thanks David, that helps a

Thanks David, that helps a lot. Now I need to get off my arse and fill an application form.

Hello Sebsan, Yes you can

Bennewith — Thu, 10 Nov 2005 13:06:10 -0800

Hello Sebsan,

Yes you can apply if you don’t have a background in type design. The participants have a broad range of backgrounds and interests. Not so specifically type design, but typographic design and a few with no formal design background at all. There seems to be a big emphasis on content and giving appropriate form to the content – whether it be self generated or given

At the moment my year are working on a ’reader’ project which will eventuate in a book on the subject of biography

Also the WT is open to commision work, and every so often something comes in. For example a student here has just completed a series of stamps for the TPG Post. As for the review process, it is quite informal here, but we have an evaluation in december – so then I can tell you more!

Hope this helps,
David

Hey David, Can you apply if

Hey David,

Can you apply if you don’t have a back ground in type design?

What kind of assignments do you get to do? I realise this is a broad question, maybe you can talk about what you’re doing at the moment and tell us how it’s going to be reviewed.

thanks

I’m trying to contact this school for program information but for the last few weeks I’ve been getting no replies to emails, faxes, and the phone number seem to be not in service or forwarded to fax lines.
Anyone know of a way for me to contact them, or someone I can get a hold of who’s close to the school, or why no one is home...etc ???

their website is rather slim on info....
