Hasta La Ideas

Francisca emailed to let us know about an edition of silkscreened prints that she recently completed:

Francisca Prieto has created a series of 10 limited edition prints inspired by the origins of the contemporary Latin alphabet. Interested with the surprising visual similarity between some characters of the Roman alphabet and the Hindu numeral system she has created a range of new symbols. Each print has its own character and tells a different story. Dimensions: A2 (59.4 x 42 cm.) This latest collection of limited edition silkscreen prints continues Francisca’s interest in using typography as art. She has created a fascinating series of contemporary prints that not only draw on her graphic design background but also complement her distinctive interior collection.

I’m working on something to do with these fine specimens…

Here are some shots of a client design project I completed just before my Scandinavian holiday. Resonant Dialogues is a five book box set in celebration of the 25th anniversary of Truck gallery (aka Second Story art Society). Thanks Renato and Linda, it was a pleasure to work with you on this. The book was printed by Printcrafters (they print UPPERCASE magazines and books). Check out the alignment of the Truck logos on the book spines. nice!

Would you like one of these sets? On Friday, I’ll draw names from everyone who answers this question for the magazine (leave your comments in the Pantone post). The sets are also available at Truck for $25.

This borrowed lead type is on my desk today.

PARTICIPATE IN ISSUE 2: Early films often featured an elegant “The End” title at the conclusion of the story. What happened to that tradition? We invite you to imagine what “The End” would look like for today’s movies. What would the end title look like for No Country for Old Men? Twilight? Terminator? {The image above is part of The End flickr pool.}

Images should be 4″ wide at 300dpi, emailed to info–at–uppercasegallery.ca. Closing date: June 1 but I’d appreciate an email to let me know if you’ll be participating.

This submission is by Tom Djll: an imagined end title for a Coen brothers’ movie.
