WIM CROUWEL BIOGRAPHY.
Wim really needs no introduction. He is one of the Netherlands’ great design icons, typographer, graphic designer, type designer, teacher and curator. Renowned for his systematic and creative approach to the shape of letters, he continues to be an influencial figure within the design community and now more than ever young graphic designers look to his work for inspiration.
Born in 1928 in Groningen, he trained at the Academy of Arts & Crafts, Groningen, Netherlands from 1946 to 1949. He also attended The Institute of Arts and Crafts in Amsterdam, 1951–52. His Swiss inspired training, stemming from Bauhaus principles, fueled a career that wove theory and practice together. He has taught at numerous academies and institutions including The Royal Academy of Arts & Crafts Hertogenbosch and Delft University. He was Visiting Professor at the Royal College of Art.
Wim co-founded Total Design with Friso Kramer, Paul Schwartz and Benno Wissing and was Director from 1963–80. Crouwel and his involvement with Total Design produced a prolific mountain of work. He has also been the Director of the Boymans van Beuningen Museum and is the recipient of numerous awards for his commitment and excellence in graphic design and typography. Wim has exhibited works at numerous shows including exhibitions at the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; Museum Wiesbaden; and the Design Centre, Stuttgart. His work has been published in many books and journals, including the recent monograph, Wim Crouwel Alphabets, published by BIS in 2003.
Wim will be looking back at his prolific career and discussing his design philosophy.

‘HELVETICA – The Documentary’ OVERVIEW.
Helvetica is a feature-length independent film about typography, graphic design and global visual culture. It looks at the proliferation of one typeface (which will celebrate its 50th birthday in 2007) as part of a larger conversation about the way type affects our lives. The film is an exploration of urban spaces in major cities and the type that inhabits them, and a fluid discussion with renowned designers about their work, the creative process, and the choices and aesthetics behind their use of type.
Helvetica encompasses the worlds of design, advertising, psychology, and communication, and invites us to take a second look at the thousands of words we see every day.
The film was shot in high-definition on location in the United States, England, the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, France and Belgium. It is currently screening at film festivals and special events worldwide.
Interviewees in Helvetica include some of the most illustrious and innovative names in the design world, including Erik Spiekermann, Matthew Carter, Massimo Vignelli, Wim Crouwel, Hermann Zapf, Neville Brody, Stefan Sagmeister, Michael Bierut, David Carson, Paula Scher, Jonathan Hoefler, Tobias Frere-Jones, Experimental Jetset, Michael C. Place, Norm, Alfred Hoffmann, Mike Parker, Bruno Steinert, Otmar Hoefer, Leslie Savan, Rick Poynor, Lars Müller, and many more.
