TYPE DIRECTORS CLUB
TDC ascenders 2022
The type director club, the world’s leading typography organization, announced the 25 talented young winners from 13 countries in the ascenders 3 competition, celebrating international typographers, letterers, and type designers age 35 and under.
Ascenders is the world’s premier portfolio-based competition dedicated to type in all its versatile forms, and the inspiring up and coming designers, individuals or teams, who are elevating the medium.
Feel so thrilled that Asal Farshchi’s design portfolio (based on her Persian 3D typography artworks) was among 2022 TDC ascenders winners. TDC conducted an exhibition for 2022 ascenders winners in New York on August 16th.
To further explain the design technique and direction, 3D typography was introduced as a design trend that adds a realistic effect to type in this portfolio. It separates the typography from the background canvas. The employment of different techniques including the use of shadows, tilting, adding texture, lighting changes, layering, etc. facilitates the creation of the three-dimensional look in this approach. Applying 3D typography design on Farsi type was a seminal breakthrough in Farsi typography.
