The epitome of ‘Less is more’ – we’re all nodding our heads in agreement here about the sheer beauty and simplicity of this stationery range for PLP Architecture by Angus Hyland at Pentagram. The logotype is apparently a re-drawn version of the typeface DIN and the colours remind me of Muji packaging. I’d be interested to know what stocks were used also. Hugs.
A lovely video full of nice hand made type. Sent to us from our very own, Hugheston. Thanks much. Enjoy on this nice friday.
Ran into this site for the first time in a while and man, it still holds up so well. The type, the interaction, the simplicity. It is all so well done. Thought it deserved a 2010 hug. Fred Smeijers and his beautiful typography at OurType.
Following in the footsteps of YWFT, Reserves sells fancy typefaces and stock imagery. A growing and unique collection indeed. Check it out.
Looks like Village has quietly updated their website. Again, smashing typefaces and a nice little uplift as well. Have a look see as time permits. Hugs.
Yet another one of the wonders of Typotheque, History, is indeed, a face full of faces. In any capacity, this face seems to do it all. Love it.
Had the great pleasure of meeting the person behind this wonderful publication. Soon to be released stateside. Looks like we will also be honored to be carrying this zine soon. Keep a look out in the right column! Looking lovely and many hugs. Nazine.
It’s all about the grid – here, here and oh look: here. GRIDS (title does exactly what it says on the tin), published by RotoVision not only serves as a compendium of exemplary designs (featuring the work of Matt Willey, Peter Crnokrak, George Adams and Airside to name a few) overprinted with their underlying grids, but includes an accompanying CD containing all of the examples in both InDesign and QuarkXPress. A truly indispensable resource to say the least, considering the modest price to go with it.
Human Studio (a.k.a Human) is a multi-disciplinary creative studio coming out of Sheffield, UK. Founded by former tDR director, Nick Bax, who is currently a visiting lecturer at Fellow of The Royal Society of Arts, they produce some dazzling visual solutions for a global client roster. The portfolio is quite brief, so it warrants a quick look when time permits.
So from unify and digital music to crafted box sets, we all love music. This lovely new box set of three album releases by the artist Duke Special has been designed Sparks, London. It coincided with his recent performance in the Brecht play Mother Courage at the National Theatre London.
The set is now on it’s third production run over 25,000 units, which confirms our suspicion that well designed phyiscal albums are desirable to music lovers everywhere. A screen printed gem on grey board is held with traditional book binding tape. The slipcase is silver foiled on a textured card.
