Brace yourselves for the first two speakers of this months’ 5 (!) speaker lineup!
Will and Induilaxa, both students at Kingston School of Art, will talk us through their projects on May 14th ☀️
Have a read about their projects below.
Will Aggett is a type and graphic designer in his final year at Kingston School of Art. He’s currently developing research within modularity, community and
physical making.
His work investigates how modular systems can shape visual language, while also creating opportunities for a collaboration and shared authorship. Through a process of hands-on and digital typographic processes, he engages with making as both a method of research and a means of connecting people, materials and ideas.
Will will talk us through his project ‘TO-114’ — A revival of a U.S. Government document from the early 1990s that defined the decoration and formal markings used on aircraft and boats. Reinterpreted through a contemporary type design lens, it incorporates stylistic alternates and contextual OpenType features.

—————-
Induilaxa is a Graphic Designer from Kingston University who critically investigates cultural studies. Guided by her curiosity towards identity and media, her work recontextualises the communities through a graphic design lens. Being quite new to typography, even when she changes the medium, her design output still lies within researching societies and the historical contexts of their visual styles. Using an illustrative approach to explore expressive characters, and disseminating the refined verisons through multiple mediums.
She will talk us through her investigation of the cultural and historical contexts of the cybersigilism aesthetic. Originating from the 2010s Berlin rave scene to being repopularised in forms of music and fashion. Actualised with biomechanical forms showing sections of history through different weights.

“Jumpers for Goal Posts” – A week-long collaboration from early last summer, dedicated to re-publishing the images that resonate deeply with us. As lifelong football lovers, we wanted to celebrate some of the nostalgia and passion that first ignited our love for the game seen through some of the imagery. The publication can be read from front to back and then back to front as we separate the book into two halves showcasing the different imagery we both selected for the project.
Magnum Football 2005, Total British Football 2006 and Sports 2004.
