100 years of graphic delight
the museum hilversum which, oddly enough is situated in hilversum, has just launched a new exhibition on the golden era of dutch design (yes yet another one), fortunately the dutch penchant for graphic design nostalgia has been balanced out with new work by some of the better names around at the moment: featuring amongst others:
(old then new) Wim Crouwel, Dick Bruna, Otto Treumann, Mart Kempers en Dick Elffers, Hansje van Halem, René Knip, Harmen Liemburg, Michiel Schuurman, Job Wouters and Richard Niessen
growing graphics
central st. martins (london) graduate ‘james henderson’ shared some of his work with me this week, including his ‘organic’ typography studies called ‘growing graphics’ that use a wide variety of materials to create letters that can expand up to 40 times in size, grow, change colour and transform through sunlight or heat, all looks very interesting
he doesn’t have a website but i managed to find some info online here and a bit here
money makes happy
it feels a bit strange offering financial help to one of the (probably) best-paid graphic designers around, nontheless i really want to see the finished result… so along with quite a lot of other people i helped ‘stefan sagmeister’ find the funding for his ‘happy’ film, which is due for release next february…
after the wave
photography, as the demise of gadaffi once again proved, can be a highly graphic, instant & effective medium to share the terrible events which take place in the world to a large audience, it can however also be used to show positive messages too
like these series of ‘before and after’ images showing the progress being made by the japanese population to restore their country six months after the devastating tsunami
i couldn’t decide which ones to show apparently, so it’s a bit of a long ‘picture post’ this one…
