Abstract
Following the success of the first two editions, Slanted Experimental Type 3.0 has evolved into an ongoing series, each edition exploring groundbreaking approaches in typography and graphic design.
The third edition, developed in collaboration with students from Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts under the direction of Prof.Lars Harmsen and Andreas Ruhe, introduces entirely new content, pushing the boundaries of creative experimentation. When borders are drawn arbitrarily, they often disregard geographical, ethnic, or historical realities, sparking tension and conflict. While these themes might seem distant from typography, applying such reflections to design offers intriguing challenges. Designers often grapple with their role in a consumer-driven system, questioning the purpose of their work. Yet, they hold the power to choose projects, cross boundaries, and explore uncharted paths.
