In a recent two-day Gestalten workshop, participants worked closely with Jessica Hische (a letterer, illustrator, and crazy cat lady known for her silly side projects and occasional foul mouth, as she jokingly describes herself) to develop a full vector alphabet and learn about drawing type in a short amount of time. Hische has been named a Forbes Magazine “30 under 30” in art and design as well as an ADC Young Gun and one of Print Magazine’s “New Visual Artists”. Gestalten.tv took the chance of a very brief break during the workshop to let Jessica talk us through some of the pros and cons of the letters B/E/R/L/I/N.

This otherwise gray and rainy Saturday became absolutely vibrant as Emil Kozak, Handverk, SNASK, James Victore, and others shared their desires and ideas with the audience. Gestalten.tv reports from the scene, where we spoke to all participants, including Sarah Illenberger, whose first monograph we published and who is also featured in Taken By Surprise, as well as Jessica Hische, whose work is presented our recent release Hand to Type. Find out what drives these creatives to the top of their game and hear them give young designers some sound advice.
