Here, trends are identified and set, as the around 750 illustrations, 203 awarding-winning designs from 41 countries and 37 new fonts presented clearly illustrate. From kinetic typography to motion design, from packaging to magazines, from corporate design to architectural communication: the world's most creative people compete against each other here and the winning works are breathtaking. Previously divided into two competitions, one each for Communications Design and Typeface Design, the program is now a single competition consisting of three disciplines: Type Design, Typography and Lettering. This edition also includes a special index listing the principal typefaces used and the names of their designers. The Judges' Choices section features the winning entries that have been singled out as each judge's personal favorite; these pieces are accompanied not only by the judges' comments but also by designer statements. The Award for Typographic Excellence is the ticket to the best agencies in the world. The yearbook also reflects the latest typography trends, sets standards, is a collector's item and distinguishes its owners as visual thought leaders.JURY MEMBERSTDC70 Communication Design JuryMaria Asare-Boadi: Art Director at Meta, New York, San Francisco, Washington D.C.Andy Chen: Partner at Isometric Studio, NYC (US), Taipei, KarachiMark De Winne: Creative Director at Relay Room / Multitudes, Singapore Manija Emran: Co-Founder & Creative Director at Me & the Bootmaker, Los Angeles, London, Montreal & ParisEmily Oberman: Partner at Pentagram, New York CityTala Safie: Graphics and Multimedia Editor at The New York Times, New York, LebanonYoshihisa Shirai: Graphic Designer, Professor, at Shirai Design Studio, Musashino Art University TokyoTDC70 Lettering JuryAlanna Flowers: Lettering Artist & Designer at AGF Design Studio, New York City Ricardo González Contreras: Artist/Designer at IT'S A LIVING, New York, Mexico City, Tokyo Ilana Griffo: Co-owners at Goodtype (GOODTYPE), New York, Rochester, AustinBen Johnston: Artist & Designer, Cape Town / Toronto / New YorkKen-Tsai Lee: Associate professor, at ken-tsai lee design Lab/Taiwan TECH.
