While good designs showcase contrast, the contrast between cultures, as well as between art and technology can be a source of contention. It can also be a source of inspiration and an impetus for new ideas.TYPO San Francisco Contrast will bring together a slate of international and local speakers from across disciplines to discuss how the design community can embrace contrast in order create innovative practices into the next decade. RegistrationRegistration will open November 2012.
