a pocket companion to the simpsons

…from simply ‘appointments’ and ‘photos’ books to ‘so you’ve decided to steal cable’, ‘the joy of sax’, or the ‘flanders bible’…

i have just ordered a copy of this wonderful little yellow book about books that feature in the simpsons

designed by book designer ‘olivier lebrun’ (mentioned three posts previously)… see also another simpsons related project on film references

young portuguese designer sergio alves seems to share my interest in found materials and i also like the lack of ‘over-polishing’ in his work, i.e. leaving the messy bits and mistakes

this post is a bit of a ‘spoiler’ if you are attending my talk at papier hier tomorrow afternoon in amsterdam

a collaborative project from a group of irish designers illustrating some of the ridiculous things clients say… although, a little less design would have made a great many of them better i think
