This week was kind of an interesting week in type design. After watching Gap inc completely flop the introduction of a wildly new and obscenely corporate logo for themselves -> check out some of the backlash: http://craplogo.me/ – http://www.qbn.com/topics/642743/ …pretty amazing. You wonder how these things can happen when there are so many well designed typeface options out [...]

Milan, Italy based designer dubbed as ‘Nico189′ has got some pretty fresh stuff up on his Flickr stream lately. His portfolio site and behance page are also a solid source for fresh ideas and inspiration. Visit -> http://www.flickr.com/photos/nico189 Visit -> http://www.nico189.com/ Visit -> http://www.behance.net/nico189 These pop-up designs created for RENFE’s (Spanish National Rail Network) new fleet of trains, by artist and designer Lele Gestoso Saa are pretty incredible and extremely entertaining to look over. I posted a little over a year ago about some of her designs under the creative group name called ‘Serial Cut’ but I had not seen [...] Motion graphics designer and design blogger (@www.ilovenewwork.com) Ruben Kos has started up his own design company, specializing in motion graphics and animation. His reel is a constant flow of nice graphic particle animation, realistically rendered objects/lighting and some solid type/logo lock up arrangements. Makes for an inspiring view. Visit -> http://www.rbnks.com/ Ruben Córdoba Schwaneberg is a very talented designer based in Barcelona, Spain. His type, sense of color and imagery feels extremely fresh to me. He specializes in motion graphics, illustration and character design. The above images are from his poster set collection that he calls ‘Melancoloric’ and can be seen with a few more via [...] I took notice of this font called Playful™ the other day while browsing work on the Behance’ network. Judging from the creative examples above it seems to be a very versatile font. I think the 3D renderings are my favorite. Many other uses are to be seen on the Behance’ site, including the unaffected set. Great [...] Designer David Watson of Trebleseven Studios created the above colorful, typographic World Cup poster. Another nice example of the popular subtractive coloring technique that I so much enjoy. If I had some more room on my walls to squeeze this one in I’d definitely pick one up. You can purchase the print from his website [...] Honolulu based graphic designer Noa Emberson created these indie record cover poster prints as a personal tribute to his top twenty five indie albums. He’s included interesting information on each band and album as well as a nice typographic header that runs consistently throughout the collection, making them great collectibles. I see these as being [...] I came across these amazing poster prints while browsing graphic designer/artist Ellen McFadden’s Flickr stream last night. They were created by a Japanese designer named Katsui Mitsuo (Font computer designed poster by Katsui, Mitsuo 1998) and are part of a printed offset lithography collection. I really appreciate these works for their color and the overall sense [...] I came across Ross Gunter’s super clean poster print design while browsing Behance the other day. I dig his brand of the international typographic style and his bold color sensibilities. With those two skills combined there is little that can go wrong, if you ask me. His site is full of great works and is [...] I came across Jordan Metcalf’s design and typography works this week while clicking around another designer’s Flickr stream. His works are super tight and really fun to click through, you can just tell by how perfectly rendered his type is that his level of passion is off the charts. The above are just a couple [...] U.K. based Simon C. Page has amassed a ton of fresh poster prints, graphic renderings and typography experiments for all to see on his portfolio site, Behance page and Flickr stream. Nice clean, bold and inspiring work beyond the links below. Visit -> http://simoncpage.co.uk Flickr -> http://www.flickr.com/photos/simoncpage/ Behance -> http://www.behance.net/Gallery/ London based ‘Farrow Design’ is producing some very strong logotype design, iconography, print and package design. I think what I’m drawn to most is their overall simplistic graphic style and hard hitting use of color. For more excellent work check out their site. Visit -> http://www.farrowdesign.com/ Emigre has released it’s ‘Emigre No. 70′ issue that they are calling ‘the Look Back Issue’ celebrating 25 years of superb font creation. From what I’ve seen on type blog ‘ilovetypography’ the spreads are vivid, inspiring and full of classic Emigre fonts. A nice book to have around the house or studio. You can find [...] I happened across these super nice graphic poster prints created by Leipzig, Germany based designer Florian Lamm on yayeveryday.com last night. They have an underlying retro feel to them, but at the same time they feel fresh and right on trend. He seems to enjoy the contrast of loose to tight when it comes to [...] |
