los logos 5
‘gestalten’ publishers are due to release the fifth in their ‘los logos’ series of books, this time the format has changed… the book called ‘los logos, compass’ is now a larger size and has a more editorial format, with logos categorised into types and different trends in identity design, several of my projects will be featured in the book also but they won’t tell me which…
in progress
two new projects i’m currently working on: above is a sneak preview of a new ballet poster (image fragment courtesy of ‘ingrid baars’) we’re still playing around with this one but it’s looking great… and i am also making a title sequence in stop-motion using blue and/or green ‘chroma key’ which involves lots of coloured string, stop motion, ‘after effects’ and a lot of hours patience, the technique is one i’ve just devised so it’s difficult to say how it’s going to work just yet… i’ll be testing the whole thing next week
type casting
design duo ‘non format have updated their work, the video for the chap’s ‘even your friends’ is their first forray into motion work and although it’s a typical kind of idea that a graphic designer would think up when making a video, i think it works great, just perfect for the ‘you tube-iphone-ipad’ generation
the ‘david bowie’ inspired typography piece shown below is also very interesting, but when put on a t-shirt it becomes a bit pretentious to me… one of those shirts that says ‘hey look everyone i’m a graphic designer’
all the world is a stage
talking of anamorphic type installations, this new book …of work in which images and space meld seamlessly into a single narrative entity… from ‘gestalten’ publishers entitled staging space due to be released shortly, looks like an interesting bundle showcasing similar types of projects to the one below
