Samantha Warren

The Power and Beauty of Typography

In this presentation, we will look at the lettering surrounding us everyday, tapping into the way it makes us feel. Letters can say far more than the words they spell. If you don't already think about the font you choose, you will.

About Samantha Warren:

Samantha Warren's goal is a site that's bold, exciting, usable, and well-built. Sometimes that means she's obsessing over the perfect typeface to tell the story, while other times she'll be crunching on the markup and styles behind the scenes. A Senior Web Designer at Phase2 Technology in the Washington, DC area, recent years have found her working for a variety of clients including National Geographic, Choice Hotels International, and The National Basketball Players Association.

Her passion for design and the web doesn't end at quitting time. She has been published in .NET Magazine, regularly speaks at industry events including SXSW Interactive, and is on the Board of the Art Directors Club of Washington DC. When she is not doing any of the above you can find her enthusiastically teaching typography and web design at the Center for Digital Imaging Arts at Boston University. Once she gets home, she writes about design and the web on her blog at badassideas.com.
