This Spring, AIGA San Francisco is launching a new series of evening events that will focus on interactive design topics. Intended for designers with beginning to intermediate experience with designing and building for the web, tablet and mobile environments, each event will give you the chance to learn from local experts as well as share your own knowledge with other attendees.

The sessions will be a combination of lecture, discussion, and workshop activities, so bring your sketch pads and thinking caps.

After 15 years of contenting ourselves with system fonts, type in images, or workarounds with Flash, we can finally use real fonts on the web. Broad browser support for CSS @font-face has ushered in a web typography renaissance. Join Typekit co-founder Greg Veen for a look at some beautiful examples of web fonts in use, a review of how this all became possible, and an examination of the challenges involved in working with web fonts – plus techniques for navigating these challenges in your design and development projects.

Schedule:
6:00 – 6:30pm: heavy appetizers & drinks
6:30 – 7:30pm: presentation
7:30 – 8:00pm: Q&A and discussion

Other Dates in Series:

Ten Things to Know about Experience Design
Time: 6:00 – 8:00pm
Speaker: Aynne Valencia
