The Libre Graphics Meeting exists to unite and accelerate the efforts behind Free, Libre and Open Source creative software. Since 2006, this annual meeting is the premiere conference for developers, users and supporters of projects such as GIMP, Inkscape, Blender, Krita, Scribus, Hugin, the Open Clipart Library, and the Open Font Library gather to work on interoperability, shared standards, and new ideas. Work at prior LGMs has pushed the state of the art in important areas such as color management, cross-application sharing of assets, and common formats.

EVERYONE IS A GRAPHIC DESIGNER—

Yoann Bertrandy dissertation project at the ESAD

—During his first year, he questioned five amateur graphic designers with jobs including chaplain, sports teacher and accounting secretary.
Rather than dealing in clichés or seeking to bring his respon dents into line with professionals' perception of the discipline, Bertrandy conduced a series of interviews on their graphic practice and their techincal contexts, their perception of graphic design and its role and the value of a typeface.
Arranged into a dissertation anda book of interviews, the project observes the development of of amateur graphic design as enabled by the democratisation of IT tools.
Besides providing an account of this development, the work signals that the young generation is taking this phenomenon into account—taken from étapes

SPAGHETTI GRAFICA 2

Triennale Design Museum e Ministero della Grafica presentano Spaghetti Grafica 2, una grande collettiva dedicata alla grafica italiana, che vede la partecipazione di un selezione di 95 studi fra quelli che, nello scorso gennaio, hanno aderito al secondo bando di concorso lanciato dal Ministero della Grafica.
Attraverso 125 progetti selezionati tra i 1300 arrivati da tutte le regioni d’Italia, la mostra è un viaggio alla scoperta della grafica italiana, che ne documenta gli sviluppi recenti e la capacità di rinnovarsi costantemente portando avanti una grande tradizione.
L’allestimento prevede una divisione in tre spazi: un’area progetti con la selezione dei lavori, un’area di incontro e scambio dove consultare i portfolio dei singoli studi, una mostra fotografica con immagini scattate dai designer dentro il loro ambiente di lavoro.
La mostra si presenta come un grande racconto di progetti e di esperienze dove è possibile vedere, approfondire e scoprire il backstage di ogni lavoro. Si tratta di un racconto corale fatto di immagini, segni e pittogrammi che diventano i principali protagonisti.
