Tools for Togetherness
ともに在るための道具 (Tomo ni aru tame no dōgu) ✨
Join the founders of Draw Down Books for a conversation on the lasting importance of gatherings in design, publishing, and creative communities. Coinciding with the release of A Toolkit for Gathering (2025), this session explores how book fairs, artist-run gatherings, and informal sites of knowledge exchange foster collaboration, strengthen networks, and offer alternatives to increasingly individualized practices. Christopher and Kathleen Sleboda, contributors to the book’s foreword, will draw on their experiences as organizers, exhibitors, and participants at events worldwide—including the Tokyo Art Book Fair—to reflect on what makes in-person encounters so valuable. Their discussion will consider how shared environments and experiences sustain cultural production and create space for creative dialogue, offering inspiration for anyone committed to building more intentional and connected communities.

Earlier this year, the Boston University Graphic Design Department selected Vincent Liu as this year’s recipient of the DRAW DOWN AWARD for outstanding achievement in publication design. This award is given annually to graduating students in our Graphic Design BFA program.

Liu said, “I’ve definitely found my people at BUGD, who are talented, fun individuals who not only push me to improve my work but also remind me that there are more important things than adjusting pixels on my laptop. I loved learning under the passionate faculty here that show genuine care for the students and are always open to chat.”

He hopes his design work “can facilitate conversations and inspire new projects within the design community, particularly among those interested in Chinese typography and Chinese/Chinese American graphic design.”

Congratulations Vincent Liu!

PRE-SALE: Dossier Jannon
Available at www.draw-down.com

Dossier Jannon is a collection of documents related to French printer and type designer Jean Jannon’s work. It includes five separate publications, including a type specimen and facsimile reproductions drawn from the collections of Bibliothèque Mazarine, Paris; Bibliothèque Nationale de France, Paris; Bibliothèque Municipale Louis Aragon, Amiens; and Biblioteca Produzione.

In a joint partnership with Klim Type Foundry, the set presents definitive research by historian Sébastien Morlighem on Jannon (“Rediscovering Jean Jannon,” [Redécouvrir Jean Jannon]). The dossier also includes publications with high quality reproductions, to scale, of Jannon’s original type specimens, and a specimen for Production Type’s LVMH typeface.

T for Typographies Specimen
www.draw-down.com

This broadside presents a collection of visible language systems and abécédaire by students enrolled in T for Typographies, a 2024 studio course at the Yale School of Art that investigated contemporary Latin-based typography, emphasizing both craft and expression.

Taught by Julian Bittiner, Senior Critic and Assistant Director in Graphic Design, assisted by Claire Hungerford (Yale MFA 2024), the course provided students with an opportunity develop an increasingly refined and personal typographic vocabulary.

The specimen includes work by Youngjin Park (“Palimpsest); Simon Chawey (“RADZIEJOWSKA”); Coco Yuan (“ant bear”); Aylin Alakbarli (“su”); Chuye (Juice) Chen (“Mingraffiti”); Saskia Globig (“Mag”); Katie Johnson (“Sidewalk Lithographic”); Jeewon Kim (“Adapter Irregular”); Fatima Al-Kuwari (“Be Long”); Allison Yoon (“Litera”); Lobbin Liu (“fingersmooth”); and Shiyun Deng (“Vroom Vroom”).

Framework 103
Available at www.draw-down.com

Using the idea of framework as a grounding metaphor, this annual catalog from the Communication Design community at Parsons—the third in the Frameworks series—captures and documents the work of designers as they translate, create, and articulate ideas and forms. Such activities occur in both directions, as students platform and present new visions and faculty return with pressing questions.

Framework 103 highlights work from graduating students in the Associate of Applied Science (AAS) program, the Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) program, and the Master of Professional Studies (MPS) program along with a select group of contemporary designers currently practicing in the field.

Together, these works offer insight into the evolving disciplines of communication design and the broader questions explored, within and across its various subdomains—book design, branding, digital product design, motion graphics, typeface design, and environmental spatial graphics.

Documentation of student work is presented along with selected texts of lectures by guest designers Annika Hansteen-Izora, Ben Denzer, Sabrina Nacmias, Reggie James and Luca Repola. Talks include “On Designing for Collectivity,” “Making School Work,” “Building a Type Foundry,” and “Feel Everything.”

A typographic showcase and an overview of activities, events, core courses, faculty, staff, and all of the details that shaped the 2023-2024 terms is also included.

Framework maps the contours of a specific American design program while also creating a valuable capsule for thinking about contemporary communication design practice and pedagogy in the 21st century.
