It’s time for TED. We had a mad rush to complete program guides and a special book project as the countdown to launch is fast approaching.

TED’s 2013 theme, “The Young. The Wise. The Undiscovered.,” grew out of a piece of artwork by artist and illustrator Oliver Jeffers. We drew inspiration from traditional book binding materials and production processes, interactivity, and cartography. We also worked to incorporate the painterly nature of Jeffers’ work, and Jeffers created the lettering for the program guide’s cover and titles.
