2022 briefs
Through its highly acclaimed Assessment scheme, ISTD engages with universities and institutions across the globe to raise the profile of typography in design education. The new ISTD briefs launched October 2021 for the 2022 Assessment.
Our goal is to give both tutors and students the opportunity to explore and develop typography as an inherent part of the design process and thus bring the typographic gesture to the forefront of their design education.
ISTD’s briefs continue to innovate and challenge
Our practice is based upon the printed word but now embraces the gamut of media and technologies that we communicate with. Accordingly, we have progressively written our student project briefs for interpretation through a range of media. How and where we use the written word brings new issues, and also new opportunities to test our skills. First and foremost we are communicators skilfully utilising design to inform, persuade and delight. This makes each project a more demanding yet stimulating exercise.
Online Submission platform
Due to the ongoing global situation regarding Covid–19 we will continue to use our online submission platform that we launched last year. This will remove the former need to send physical portfolios, and will better support international submissions.
Please check our website regularly for further details
Registration for the 2022 Assessment
The online platform for the ISTD Assessment is here. Tutors who have previously entered student work in 2021 do not need to reregister. Just log in and enter your new students' details.
Registration for the 2022 Assessment will be open towards the end of December 2021, after this current year’s assessment in Australasia rounds off the 2021 cycle.
If you are new to the assessment, please register on the platform and email to be put on the mailing list. Meanwhile, we invite you to download and start work on the 2022 briefs.
