Type Tuesday: Delicate
Posted in: Uncategorized
Unbelievably fine paper cutouts by Hina Aoyama. (More about her here) “They are super fine lacy-paper-cuttings done by a simple pair of scissors. My passion is to create a finest cutoff beyond the level of the very time-consuming needle lace making. I don’t follow traditional but I am trying to create a mixture of the traditional and modern styles and to produce my own world through this super fine lacy-paper-cuttings technique.”

Type Tuesday: Rodchenko Mayakovsky
Posted in: Uncategorized
Thanks, Derek, for this link recommendation. “Rodchenko tells about his collaboration with the poet Mayakovsky on the design of advertising campaigns for several state companies flourishing under the era of the New Economic Policy, which allowed free enterprise, capitalist competition and private patrons from 1921 to 1928, date of the implementation of the First Five Year Plan. … ‘We really were the vanguard of revolutionary art, and each of us in our own field, led the battle for the new Soviet art, even by being against art.'”

“The Berwin Jr. Executive Typewriter: the nearest thing to a REAL typewriter in size, appearance, and printing quality”
On ebay for $4.95 (plus shipping)… how could I say no? These photos are just cleaned up images from the seller — I can’t wait to photograph this one and see if it works.

Type Tuesday: A typographic survey of the City of London
Posted in: Uncategorized
A Typographic Survey of the City of London from Michael Bojkowski on Vimeo.
Perhaps it’s the narrator‘s affable style and lovely accent that make this typographic tour worth watching. “Roughly 15 minutes of your life you will never get back — this a Boicozine experiment, attempting to mix a documentary style format with some supreme type geekery. Possibly annoying, maybe even boring. I don’t know, you be the judge.”

Love Letters typographic posters
Posted in: Uncategorized
I’ve designed some romantic and optimistic posters for our upcoming show, Love Letters. These prints are available now in the online shop in time for Valentine’s Day and upcoming engagements and weddings. The black, light grey and small hit of red would make a sophisticated and graphic addition to a bedroom or living room.

I received a nice email from Dara DiLiegro this week. Dara has worked at Martha Stewart on retail brand packaging, art directed catalogues and collateral at Tiffany & Co. and interned at Interbrand New York. I encourage you to see more of her portfolio. I was particularly struck by her illustrated lettering and greeting card ideas.

Wear Your Love/Hate of Comic Sans on Your Sleeve
Posted in: Uncategorized
(Photos: Veer)
We find Comic Sans terribly depressing, but is there change afoot in the status of this typographical albatross? Signs of backlash to the graphic design community’s longstanding Comic Sans backlash are evident in Veer’s new Comic Sans Love t-shirt (pictured above). Created “to convey the mixed emotions Comic Sans evokes,” the shirt features a detailed drawing of the human heart—”ventricles, valves, and veins”—comprised of letters set in various sizes of Comic Sans on a “snug-fitting” American Apparel t-shirt. Veer’s pumping irony will set you back $22, a small price to pay to tell the world (or your Valentine) that you heart Comic Sans—even if you hate it.
