The 6th International Conference on Typography & Visual Communication (ICTVC) with the theme “Discussing priorities | Developing a field” takes place in Thessaloniki on 7, 8 and 9 July 2016. A series of workshops will precede the conference (5 & 6 July) and the exhibitions will constitute an important part of the event.
ICTVC is established worldwide as a major event that explores the world of typography and visual communication. Since its inception in 2002, people from diverse fields and different disciplines with a passion for visual language research, education, and practice, contribute to the conference. ICTVC attracts speakers and delegates on an international scale, and from a wide range of disciplines related to typography and design. The high quality of presentations is a hallmark of the conference.
This time the conference theme is “Discussing priorities | Developing a field”. Visual communication is now an established discipline with a burgeoning professional practice, varied educational systems, critical research, national and international conferences and competitions, trade magazines, and academic journals. Across many areas, visual communication is entering a period of sustained growth and expansion. This calls for strategic decisions for directions of development, setting priorities for action, and clarifying relationships with related areas of activity.
The 6th ICTVC is organized by the Institute for the Study of Typography & Visual Communication with the collaboration of the Thessaloniki State Museum of Contemporary Art and the Graphic Communication program of the Department of Design & Multimedia, the University of Nicosia.
