an interesting array of typography treatments from UK designer sean freeman, who works in a similar ‘illustrative type’ vein to others such as ‘si scott’ and alex trochut’, although i personally find this piece a bit too similar to (and obviously inspired by) sagmeister’s installation in amsterdam (thanks to ‘sónia sampaio’ for the tip)
the ‘braun’ logo has been modified and tweaked through the years to good effect, but as the comments left rightly point out: the implementation has gone in the opposite direction over the years, great logo shame about the packaging… (via ‘design related’)
the misses drew her inspiration from nearby for this particular diorama piece, not sure if i should be flattered or whether i am the subject of a very subtle parody…
…in 2009 two schools, Werkplaats Typografie (ArtEZ), Arnhem, the Netherlands and ISIA Urbino, Italy, joined together to set up a Summer School in the Renaissance town of Urbino, Italy… the 2011 Summer School requires current students or practicing designers that are inspiring, non-conventional, with authentic and critical minds and who are eager to take risks… the Summer School is not a place where you will be told what to do, it is two weeks where you will have the time, space and freedom to reflect on your practice. In addition, the Summer School is also a potentially enriching environment to share experiences and ideas with the tutors and the other participants…
i could think of worse places to spend two weeks during the summer than in the company of inspiring people like ‘karel martens’ & ‘armand mevis’, why not give it a go?
