The Visual Communciation Division of the Department of Art at Kansas State University would like to welcome you to the web version of the Type: Aesthetic+Function exhibition.

The exhibit opened at the Art Center on the Kansas Wesleyan University campus in August of 2001. It opened at the William T. Kemper Gallery at Kansas State University in September. During the year 2002 it will travel to:

The Women's University, Seoul Korea, March 2002
Fachhochschule Trier, Trier, Germany, June 2002
University of Dundee, Jordanstone School of
Art and Design, Dundee, Scotland, October 2002

Participating Designers were chosen based on their quality of work, their contributions to Visual Communication Design education and on the recommendations of one outside reference outside of the exhibit curator.

The emphasis on how designers communicate with type was a key issue in curating the exhibit. The pieces exhibited by each designer provide a unique voice and personality.

In addition to the exhibition the Visual Communication Division awarded the Varney's Award for Contributions to Design Education. This year's recipient was Andreas Hogan, Fachhochschule Trier, who was presented a plaque and a travel award.
