<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Hi Claire,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I love typography and have collected a few resources over the years:</div>
<div>
<ul style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt; ">
<li>This is a great intro to the history of typography. It beautifully created with stop-motion, informative, and a short 5 minutes long. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOgIkxAfJsk" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOgIkxAfJsk</a></li><li><a href="http://fortheloveoftype.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">http://fortheloveoftype.blogspot.com.au/</a> is a brilliant blog focused on typography by the up-and-coming young designer Gemmo O'Brien.</li><li>I Wonder by Marian Bantjes is a beautiful book to show students with amazing patterns and typography. <a href="http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/I-Wonder-Marian-Bantjes/9780500515297?utm_source=SV-Body&utm_medium=email-Service&utm_term=I-Wonder_title&utm_content=order-details&utm_campaign=Order-dispatch" target="_blank">http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/I-Wonder-Marian-Bantjes/9780500515297?utm_source=SV-Body&utm_medium=email-Service&utm_term=I-Wonder_title&utm_content=order-details&utm_campaign=Order-dispatch</a> Her
website contains some beautiful work, too: <a href="http://www.bantjes.com/" target="_blank">http://www.bantjes.com/</a> The typography and patterns made out of pasta are particularly spectacular! You can also hear her speak on Ted Talks: <a href="http://www.ted.com/talks/marian_bantjes_intricate_beauty_by_design.html" target="_blank">http://www.ted.com/talks/marian_bantjes_intricate_beauty_by_design.html</a> (Can
you tell I really love her work?)</li><li>Finally, I show my students the work of Autobahn: <a href="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4o6g74gK01r8fuev.jpg" target="_blank">http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4o6g74gK01r8fuev.jpg</a> and <a href="http://www.behance.net/Autobahn" target="_blank">http://www.behance.net/Autobahn</a> Then
I challenge them to create their own font from unusual materials. </li></ul>

<div>
<div>Hope these help people!</div>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear VET IDM teachers,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I struggle with getting kids (at both yr. 11 and 12) to think creatively about this aspect of design.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Has anyone got any inspiring tips, resources, class exercises, activities to get kids thinking about typographical design?
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Cheers</p>
