André Mora, Design Director at Seattle Met magazine contacted FoT wanting an exploratory of hand drawn brush scripts for a potential cover idea. I presented several lettering ideas one of which was chosen and made the final cover. The issue is on newsstands now and click here to view several spreads from the issue!
You can see select check out the lettering exploratory below the fold.
This week we have the pleasure of having all the way from London, the super talented designer & typographer Rick Banks aka Face37 guest posting here on Friends of Type. For those who know his work then you’re probably a fan just like us…. for those who are now being introduced to him, you’re in for an inspiring treat. It’s all in the details….
Bonus: Check out an interview he did over the summer with FoT favorite FormFiftyFive.
See some of Rick’s work here, follow him on twitter, like him on facebook.
It’s getting to that time of year where my perfect meal for every meal is a bowl of ramen noodles. It’s especially better with a pitcher of Sapporo and rain outside. A little known fact is that the 4 of us at Friends of Type have consumed enough ramen noodles to travel to Saturn and back again 18 times.
I’m really looking forward to speaking with the ComD Agency student group at Pratt tomorrow. I’ll be sharing some anecdotes about entering the field and my view of the state of graphic design culture. I think it’s going to be a fun discussion and I expect I’ll learn a thing or two from the new generation.
