the secret is… knowing how to hide your sources

this is a fascinating and also rather embarassing flickr set called similarities, well yes quite… there are some very well-known names in there too, and not just on the left-hand side… oops

i have been editing some of the ‘making of’ images from my string typo illustration piece (see posts from 1-2 weeks ago) and will upload this and some other new projects to ‘me work’ later this week, here’s a few for starters… the process was definitely more fun than just the finished piece in this case…

abeceda

i just found an interesting little typography film ‘alphabet’ (abeceda) made in 2000 and inspired by the celebrated book by czech collage artist ‘karel teige’ in the late 1920’s, nice…

you can see teige’s original work here
