Title: 'Typographic Selfies'
A workshop by Prof. Kumkum Nadig
Faculty Member, Head, Visual Communication Design, Srishti School of Design, Bangalore

Abstract:  Identity is a person's conception of their own being. The idea of identity is a socially and historically created concept. We relate to Identity and encounter it at many levels– Self-Identity, Cultural Identity, Place Identity, Object Identity or Experience Identity. The workshop will encourage participants to construct self identity using Typographic Masks. Students will consider various frames of enquiry during the design phase of these masks: How do you identify yourself? What is the most important part of your identity? How will you choose and shape a Typeface to reflect your identity?

The workshop is meant to be fun, engaging and collaborative and will end with "selfies" by each participant in their typographic mask.

Students will need craft materials such as cartridge papers in variety of colours, scissors, tape, pencils, sketch pad, paint, brushes, glue, etc.
