Sao Paulo

Magazine Library, Print Culture, and Manizales’ Poster Promotions

May 14th, 2012

We’re experimenting with this new post format again, trying to give you more bang for your buck in terms of offering a daily snapshot of what’s happening in the world of PechaKucha, and trying to save you from the endless streams of feed notifications that seem to clutter our lives.

Presentations
As we recently covered on the blog, we had a special PechaKucha event this past Friday here in Tokyo, as part of the 10th edition of the Magazine Library exhibition. We invited 5 presenters to cover topics that touch on magazines and print culture, and we’ll be sharing all of them online today and tomorrow. Today, you get to hear Audrey Fondecave talk about the upcoming issue of TOO MUCH (”the magazine of romantic geography”), Mike Abelson talk about his stationery brand Postalco, and a recent printing project he embarked on, and Luis Mendo tells us how Tokyo turned this editorial designer into an artist.

PKN Manizales Vol. 1

Posters
We’ve got another new batch of PKN posters and flyers up on our Tumblr blog, including a few examples of what was produced for PKN Manizales Vol. 1 (above, a flyer), as well as from PKN Muscat Vol. 1, PKN Beirut Vol. 13, PKN Buffalo Vol. 12, PKN Cagliari Vol. 2, and PKN Moscow Vol. 12.

Event Photos
We know you love seeing event photos — to get a feel for how PKNs are being done around the world — and we’re going to be sharing even more, by posting links to even more galleries than in the past. Pictured above, a scene from March’s PKN Sao Paulo Vol. 10, as well as a few happy attendees during the beer break.

Links
A few PechaKucha-related links from around the webosphere.

  • A fun call-for-entries video (above) for the upcoming PKNs (Vol. 2 and 3) in Genoa 
  • An interview (in Russian) with our friends from PKN Moscow at Theoryandpractice
  • We don’t usually like to give too much instructions on how to do a presentation — we like to see how each person approaches the format — but for those in need a few tips, this post might help

Calendar
It’s a quiet Monday with no PechaKucha Nights happening tonight, but tomorrow night, Helsingborg will be hosting its PechaKucha Night Vol. 8, happening at the Helsingborgs Stadsteater. 

The Peku Typeface, from PKN Sao Paulo With Love

The Peku Typeface, from PKN Sao Paulo With Love

We teased this a while back when we first shared the posters for Sao Paulo’s PechaKucha Night Vol. 10, but we are very happy to see that the typeface that Gustavo Garcia designed for use on the poster, “Peku,” has been released for free — you just pay with a tweet. It’s a really fun typeface, and we really hope to see it used in interesting places. We’ll also soon be sharing photos from that PKN Sao Paulo Vol. 10.

Give Me Advice

Now here’s an idea: Let’s try leaving a box with a notepad and a pen to gather thoughts from passersby, and see what happens. That’s exactly what graphic designer Daniel Motta did in Sao Paulo, and his presentation shares the results. It was recorded at PechaKucha Night in Sao Paulo Vol. 5, and is in Portuguese.

Sao Paulo will have its PechaKucha Night Vol. 10 later this month, on March 29 at The Hub. To mark the occasion, Gustavo Garcia has designed two fantastic posters for the event — even better, he designed a special typeface to use on the posters that he called “PeKu,” and he will release it for free at the end of the event. Have a look at the official event page, that will be updated later with the full list of presenters.
