Type Tree

so, at some point last year while scouring craiglist for art submissions or design gigs i sent some of my projects to a little zine. well, it finally came out and i was shocked to see not only did they use my piece but they made it the cover?!

it's something small i know - but to me it is huge in the way of confidence in my creations, like, that they must look at least interesting to someone else for them to select it and slap it on a cover, right? well thats how i take it and i'm proud. The tree on the left was the selected design.

Typography and Toyota

To promote Toyota and type design (OK just Toyota,) Toyota Belgium, pleaseletmedesign, interactive artist Zachary Lieberman, and professional driver Stef van Campenhoudt created a font - yep - with a car. It's called iQ.
Cool right? The font it's self is pretty, but the colorful digital tracks of the tires are beautiful. Check out the making of below..and download the font for yourself here!

Cookie Machine by Romain Chassing

While browsing through Vimeo today I found this great piece of work,a music video for "Cookie Machine" by PacoVolume directed by French Director/Photographer Romain Chassing. I love the pops of stop motion color combined with a black and white canvas, I think it's really beautiful and whimsical, and the detail that I am obsessing about is the precision of the typography recreated in stop motion. Romain did such a fantastic job controlling the handmade fonts, staying true to the type families, and using a diverse selection of type.
