Wael Morcos on using typography to preserve language
The Best of the World's Creativity/Recorded 2013
A close reading, kept within reach.
Wael Morcos takes graphic design & illustration as a lens on the larger question the festival keeps returning to: what design owes to the people and places it works among. The talk moves from specific projects toward a broader argument about practice.
Recorded in USA in 2013, the conversation is grounded in Wael's own working method — the compromises, the constraints, and the moments where the work taught them something they didn't expect.
The closing turn is characteristic of the archive: less a conclusion than a provocation, handed to the audience to carry into their own disciplines.
Wael Morcos explains how typography can be used to give a new meaning to something that might otherwise be generic.
