A group of our students are the media team for world championship in Windsurfing in Kerteminde here in Denmark.
They are streaming videos from the boats to Internet, taking pictures and updating the website.

“Big typography” literally means huge typography – the use of giant letters in webdesign. This is seen in more and more places on the net. Look at e.g. DesignMag or Smashing Magasin.
At MMD-Odense design teacher Mette Agerbæk has introduced “task force typography”.
Students work intensely with different fonts – among other things by drawing them by hand. Mette calls this “typography croquis”. The idea is to develop a close relationship with different fonts. We want students to leave MMD-Odense with a design-style-toolbox, so they may offer clients many design options. Big Typography is just the latest of the design styles, we introduce students to.
The illustration shows Big Typography used in a web design.
The Professor’s Laboratory is now gone – south – to Spain.

We congratulate here from MMD Odense and hope that the group will win.
