The Type Directors Club

The desktop homepage features a large hero slider with a halftone pattern background, announcing TDC72 finalists and membership opportunities. Below the hero section, an 'Upcoming Events' area displays event titles and dates in a horizontal layout with navigation arrows. The design uses a clean white background with bold black typography and red accent elements.

The mobile version presents a vertically stacked layout, starting with a hero banner for TDC72 finalists followed by scholarship and membership banners. The 'Upcoming Events' section transitions to a single-column scrollable list of events, emphasizing large text and touch-friendly navigation elements.
