SUMMARY:Alliance Francaise to hold BITS 2012
DESCRIPTION:Following the successful Bangkok International Typography 
 Symposium (BITS) in 2010,Alliance Francaise de Bangkok together with t
 he Goethe Institute, Japan Foundation and Cadson Demak will again orga
 nize the BITS 2012 symposium and workshops with world-famous typograph
 ers on May 25-26, 2012.\n \nOver the last few years, designers and ty
 pographers endeavored to stress the importance and appropriate use of 
 typography, an art for which the general public is developing an appre
 ciation. In visual communication, font design plays a crucial role as 
 it makes it possible to convey much more than words and ideas. In fact
 , typography can be used by itself to represent an identity, a brand o
 r even an era.\n \nThe previous BITS met with great success, showing 
 Thailand’s interest in typography. Throughout the two-day event, mor
 e than 250 people filled the room to capacity; communication professio
 nals and graphic artists as well as amateurs eager to know more. It wa
 s the first typography symposium to take place in Southeast Asia which
  attracted the attention of many Thai and foreign typographers.\n \nB
 ITS symposium will feature an impressive list of well-known speakers t
 o give an insight concept of typography design as well as its importan
 ce.\n-         Akiem Helmling (GR)\n-         Akira Ko
