Ivan is a Danish art director and artist who likes to take funny pictures of himself. Happy Friday y’all.

Those guys from IP.3, parisian graphic design studio, informed us of the update of their portfolio and the release of a book they’ve worked on : le Dictionnaire du Look edited by Robert Laffont. It’s all about fashion, explains all the current trends with good pictures and nice funny types.

There’s a video presentation of the book on the editor’s website, to watch it, click here! And to have a look at their portfolio, click here!

A few months ago we ran a poster competition that explored the idea of adaptation. We asked the GraphicHug community to design some spreads in response to the same brief. Compiled in two 80+ page volumes. We present GraphicHug’s first book. Finally, we have finished the arduous process of actually producing this book. A sincere apology to all our contributing designers. Your patience is golden. This is the first volume of many to come where we explore various topics of consideration and interest. So, stay tune for more. Next time we promise a more punctual delivery. The books are available at the GraphicHug lulu store. Adaptation: A Response to ______________. Side A Adaptation: A Response to ______________. Side B Enjoy.

I’ve been a distant, and admittedly jealous, admirer of Post Typography for a few years now. Nolan Starls and Bruce Willen are a power duo from Baltimore composed of pure nuclear, ingenious creative energy. The cheeky, intelligent, and self-aware duo have crafted beautiful works of print, typography, and even music, (they both perform in Double Dagger with friend Denny Bowen.) The fruits of their hard labor have been compactly collected in a small monograph published by french publisher Pyramyd.

The monograph itself is #071 in Pyramyd’s Design & Designer Collection; an accessible series combining interesting designers from all walks. Physically the book is underwhelming, but the pocket size scale lends itself to being both a pleasurable resource you can pull out anywhere conveniently. Pyramyd and Post Typography have surely worked hard to compile a very complete overview of all their graphic activities.

You can buy this book at Spoonbill in Brooklyn, Atomic Books in Baltimore, Book Soup in Los Angeles, all over Europe, and from Pyramyd directly.
