It will address the nature of style, moving from + a study of its aesthetic principles through to its concrete + embodiment in diverse media, and the techniques for its + expression in different forms of electronic publishing. + + As a result of the implementation of technology without design + principles, electronic publishing (EP) has not always received a + good press, although it may have resulted in a better press. The + conference will, in particular, address the gap between the + traditional designer and the new-wave practitioner of EP, expert + with the technology but perhaps ignorant of the precepts of + typography and design. It will also discuss whether the + technology supporting EP aids or hinders good design. + + Delegates should gain a deeper understanding of both the + principles of style and the creation of good design. The + conference is intended for all concerned with the technology of + design, including designers themselves, publishers, typographers + (using hot metal or electronics) and of course the user. It will + provide a forum for informal talks on topics such as: + + traditional and radical typography; + + national and international styles; + + timeless and time-bound styles; + + poster and newspaper design; + + design for the page and the screen; + + and of course + + (Charles Rennie) Mackintosh style. + + + The combination of the distinguished and informed speakers and + the inevitable (and also well-informed) comments from the floor + should ensure an informative and lively conference. Part of the + conference will take place at the Glasgow School of Art. + + The conference will be preceded by an introductory seminar on + design, given on the afternoon of Tuesday 14 September (hopefully + by Robert Waller, Managing Director of the Information Design + Unit and designer of Monotype's Desktop Solution booklets). + + + Programme and Speakers + ====================== + + The programme will be made up of four sessions, + + Definition of Style: Philosophy and Tradition + + Flesh on the Bone: Concrete and Practical Implementations of Style + + Revolution: Why Change?

Accommodation will be in single rooms. There is ample + parking space. + + The conference will start officially at 10.00 a.m. on Wednesday + 15 September and end at 4 p.m. on Thursday 16 September. There + will, however, be a seminar on design from 4.00 to 6.00 p.m. and + a talk on Mackintosh and Glasgow at 7.00 p.m. on Tuesday 14 + September. + + The full resident fee includes: + + the conference registration fee and all documentation; all meals + from lunch on Wednesday to lunch on Thursday including the + Conference Dinner on Wednesday evening; accommodation on + Wednesday night; refreshments during breaks. + + The fee is #145 for members of the Electronic Publishing + Specialist Group (or #170 for non-members). There will, as usual, + be a special rate of #95 for students, whose registration form + must be accompanied by a signed letter from their head of + department (or supervisor). Additional nights' accommodation will + be #25 per night. Note that this does not include an evening + meal, but does include breakfast. The fee for non-residents will + be #125 for members, #150 for non-members, and #70 for students - + to include lunches and the conference dinner on Thursday evening, + but not bed and breakfast for Thursday night. + + The fee for the Design Seminar on Tuesday afternoon will be #25. + + No cancellations will be accepted after 31 August. + + If you wish to be invoiced, there will be an additional charge of + #5 to cover administrative costs. + + VAT will be added to all charges. + + Please complete one copy of the enclosed booking form for each + conference delegate and send it to: + + Glasgow Style + BCS Electronic Publishing Specialist Group + 30 Edgerton Road + Huddersfield HD3 3AD + United Kingdom + + Tel: 0484 519462 + Fax: 0484 451396 + + ========================================================================== + + British Computer Society + ELECTRONIC PUBLISHING SPECIALIST GROUP + + Glasgow Style + + Kelvin Conference Centre, Glasgow + 15-16 September 1993 + + Registration Form + + + Rates (please tick the appropriate boxes): +VAT + EPSG members #145 + #25.38 + Non-members #170 + #29.75 + Students (enclose letter signed by head of department) #95 + #16.63 + + Non-resident + EPSG members #125 + #21.88 + Non-members #150 + #26.25 + Students (enclose letter signed by head of department) #70 + #12.25 + + Design Seminar #25 + #4.38 + + Extra nights accommodation: + Wednesday #25 + #4.38 + Friday #25 + #4.38 + other (#25 per night) + VAT + + additional charge for invoicing #5 + #0.88 + + Disabled? + + Vegetarian: + + + Sub-Total : + + VAT at 17.5% (VAT Reg.
