I Love Typography
AUGUST 21, 2019
Within several decades of its invention in Europe, the printed or typographic book was already outselling handwritten or manuscript books. A very conservative estimate would be that 12 million books were produced from the publication of Gutenberg and Fust’s first printed Bible in about 1455 until the end of 1500. In those first decades, printing […].

When you think of beer packaging you either think of your standard beers that grace your local’s shiny polished t-bar, something like Strongbow, Guinness or Carling, which do have some nice brands and packaging. Or you think of craft beers with weird and wonderful designs. From illustrations to striking typography they really push the boat out when it comes to design and packaging.

Throughout her book, Dr. Akhtar weaves stories of interactions between humans and animals with science, human experience, and social history to draw assertions about the connection between humans and animals: how we interact, develop empathy from, and benefit from relationships with animals.

I’m often asked on a regular basis what it takes to be a successful illustrator. Many think its super skills with watercolour, practical Photoshop knowledge or perhaps a outrageous amount of social media followers. Whilst these should be taken into consideration I’d like to put forward other points more concerned with mindset and outlook which plays a far more important factor when embarking and sustaining a career as an artist, illustrator or surface designer. 1 Self Discipline Discipline is as

Asian in Baton Rouge, LA. Designed by ThreeSixtyEight. Here is a nice twist we hadn't seen before: using chopsticks to anchor an intro sheet, creating a brief unexpected interaction with the menu as the customer removes their chopsticks to start perusing. Design-wise, this is pretty nice, with a fun combination of typography and good use of colored paper and different size sheets.

This October, I’ll be co-leading an intensive workshop for illustrators alongside some superstars of children’s literature at the Highlights Foundation in Honesdale, Pennsylvania. I just about jumped out of my seat when my friend, James Ransome asked me to join him in developing a weekend of drawing, experimentation, demonstrations, and critiques. We will be working with illustrators of all skill levels, helping them with strategies to push their work to the next level.

Big news: I’m living in Italy! I’ll be here only for a couple of months, but I’m so excited. Seven years ago, after hopping from one place to another, I moved to California. San Francisco is lovely, yet I had been missing the feeling of starting over in a new place. So far I’ve been sketching a lot, swimming, enjoying the views, trying to conjure up my long-forgotten Italian, and working on new secret projects (can’t wait to be able to share those with you!).

The very first book about the great illustrator Austin Briggs has just been published by Auad Publishing (previous publisher of books about Robert Fawcett, Albert Dorne, Henry Raleigh and other classic illustrators). I had the great pleasure of writing the text for the book. Briggs was one of the true greats of 20th century illustration. I've often written about him on this blog, especially about his drawing which I greatly admire.

A storefront sign is an essential marketing component for any retail store. It is an avenue for you to communicate and guide potential customers to your business. Most retail signs contain details such as the store’s name, the products or service offered, the operating hours, and even discounted deals. Still, acquiring a properly designed and persuasive sign for your store to attract passersby can be a challenge.

Hard sun, big silk, beautiful light. Pretty simple. Take a nuclear blast of sunlight and tame it by interfering with its blazing, destructive path with a simple swatch of white material, and it arrives at your subject’s doorstep (face) as cuddly and friendly as a golden retriever puppy. Get fancy and add a simple white fill card to bounce a small amount back and up into the face and you got dead bang gorgeous, wraparound light.

Recently, I was asked by the lovely people at the Highlights Foundation to write a guest blog post for their website. I’m not going to lie; the prospect was a little daunting, especially since this summer has been a little rough for me creatively. I haven’t really felt much like drawing. It certainly wasn’t the first time I felt that way, and I know it won’t be the last.

Thomas Edison once said “Vision without execution is hallucination.” This statement applies not just to invention, but to graphic design. One of the greatest strengths of graphic designers is the ability to first develop a concept and then execute it to make it real. From visualization and ideation all the way through to actuation and execution, each step of this process takes skill and expertise.

Fear is often seen as a weakness to be overcome — but for fine art photographer Brooke Shaden, fear became a launching point to a creative career. The photographer, now known for her otherworldly, often dark imagery, found herself — and her work — not by trying to overcome fear, but by trying instead to explore it. She’s reminded daily of her journey by the tattoo, “fear is the mind-killer,” running down her forearm.

In marketing, transparency and vulnerability are unjustly stigmatized. The words conjure illusions of being frightened, imperfect, and powerless. And for companies that shove carefully curated personas in front of users, little is more terrifying than losing control of how people perceive the brand. Let’s shatter this illusioned stigma. Authentic vulnerability and transparency are strengths masquerading as weaknesses.

When we design products or websites for people like ourselves, there are many others who are, as a result, left out. From visually impaired users who rely on assistive technology, to people with a temporary injury such as a broken arm, tech users are forever diverse and beautifully unique. The products we design can, and should, reflect the extremely wide range of human experiences and needs.
