Portfolio Reviews are a perfect way for you to get feedback on your portfolio from creatives beyond your existing sphere. Looking to learn what work of yours shines, what could be improved upon, and what should be left out entirely? Hoping to make new connections that could help you and your portfolio in the future? If so, this is where you'll want to be. We are thrilled to be able to offer Portfolio Reviews both virtually and in-person this year.

Paul Shaw has been leading urban lettering walks since 2005. Along with over 50 walks covering all of the five boroughs of New York, he has also conducted walks in thirteen other North American cities. Paul teaches the history of type at both the School of Visual arts and Parsons School of Design. With Patricia Childers he organizes the bi-annual Legacy of Letters tour and letterpress workshop in Italy.

New York is an endlessly fascinating city to walk around and explore, especially if you have a love of lettering and signage. And especially especially if you have a knowledgeable guide to point it all out! That’s why we are happy to once again bring back a popular aspect of previous Creative Weeks: the TDC Lettering Walk, courtesy of the Type Directors Club.
Join us on Thursday, May 18 as Paul Shaw takes us on a tour of the Lower East Side, an area that has been in great upheaval the past decade and a half. Although many relics of the area's Jewish past have disappeared due to neglect and gentrification, there are still some landmarks (such as the Bialystoker Building and Katz's Delicatessen) left. There are also new or rejuvenated things to see, such as the Essex Street Market. This lettering walk will be nostalgic, sad, exciting, and revelatory.
In keeping with recent tradition, participants will be invited to conclude the walk with lunch and drinks at a neighborhood restaurant or bar to continue the conversation.
Tickets: $45 (Members: $35)
Friday // May 19
