DesignThinkers Podcast
From the Association of Registered Graphic Designers, this is the DesignThinkers podcast.
DesignThinkers is Canada's largest graphic design conference. Since the year 2000, the Association of Registered Graphic Designers has been bringing together visionaries from a range of disciplines to explore creativity and the design process live and on-stage.
This podcast is an extension of that mission. We’re here to talk about process, creativity and the business of design with past and present DesignThinkers speakers. Join our host, Nicola Hamilton, for candid conversation with creative legends such as Erin Sarofsky, Michael Beirut, Paul Scher, Gail Anderson, Meg Lewis, Christopher Doyle, and so many more.

Eleni Beveratou on the Intricacies of Type
In this week’s episode, I’m catching up with typeface designer Eleni Beveratou. While working toward her MA in Typeface Design from the University of Reading, she developed an interest in the science of reading for the partially sighted. Her research and findings were published in Digital Fonts and Reading by World Scientific. Today, Eleni works at Dalton Maag, an independent type foundry in London, England. Eleni has worked on projects with brands such as Airbnb, Oracle and Facebook. I’m always excited to geek out with Eleni! Her knowledge base is deep and she’s incredibly skilled at explaining complicated typographic ideas in plain language. Listen in as we discuss the qualities of a good typeface, how Eleni stays on top of—and integrates—changing technology into her work, and the complex world of licensing a font. Plus, near the end, Eleni gives us a little preview of her DesignThinkers Vancouver presentation.
