Amazing photo set of colour photographs from central asia around 1910, so about 100 years ago. It’s crazy how you can relate and compare it much easier than if you’ve got to squint at a grainy b+w.. via The Big Picture - Boston.com (always good photos)
Not the most inspired name for a fashion label, but a damn tasty logotype. Elegant, classic, everything you want on a tag of your shirt.
Olly Moss the Saul Bass of the Recession-Era? He needs to start doing film titles.
Is Anthony Burrill the strongest graphic designer out these days? If I had to pick a superbowl ready team of designers, I’d pick ‘AB’ as my quarterback. Check out his work, no intensely dense illustrations or 100+ layer photoshop artwork. Quite type heavy, and simplified and pared back, but everything is just so .. right. I couldn’t improve or strip back any of his work. Also worth having a look at is a new guerilla campaign ‘Billbored’ backed by tween hating M.I.A herself.
Blogging from the library, cos i aint got no internetz at home.
Wrapping up, Saints won the superbowl, google jumps into tv advertising (good jump off point), and consequently “hell freezes over”. The rest can be found over here.
Heinz reinvents the sauce condiment packet (kinda of a big deal).
I’m trying to think of a cover for issue one of esperanto, heres a good one
nice cover illustrated by Steven Weissman for the stranger.
It’s been too hectic to blog the last few days, but slowly but surely I’ve been getting sh*t done, and my ‘to-do’ list has shortened dramatically. I’m currently slogging out this new design of Esperanto (everything from sourcing paper, to layout, to articles even a new logo). Getting quotes, breaking balls you know. Lettercult have finally released their top 10, hand lettered typography list which is kinda a big deal.
Superbowl is on Sunday, and that’s also quite a big deal, I look forward to watching the ads (does anyone really care about the game anymore?) Every Superbowl logo can be found here, and a review of the new Miami one can be found here. It’s good.
I thought this Christmas invite blew mine right the fuck out of the water. Once I get a few more spreads done in the mag I’ll start putting them up. I’ve also got to make a press kit for it so I can get some media space bought up!
Myfonts is my go-to resource for finding and buying fonts, but for some reason i find it hard to re-find fonts that I’ve liked, even with the extensive tag system.
I wish they had a ‘like’ heart button like Vimeo or Hype Machine…
Anyway, this is a collection of digitized fonts from the 1980’s.
