Website has had a bit of an update and there is now a couple of new projects up.
Obama - A chance to experiment with various layouts and grids in a 50 page commemorative book looking at voting statistics and the inauguration speech.

Deteriorate - An typographic code that deteriorates with use. Based on the way that the short-term memory of an Alzheimer patient breaks down quickest. The more you use a character the quicker it breaks down.

So currently for a self initiated project I have been working on a type based interpretation of Barack Obama's inauguration speech. At the moment I'm bout 30 pages in (about half way through) and then this pops up on the internet...


its a "typographic interpretation of obama's inauguration speech, made for dutch magazine 'creatie'"sound familier...
to be honest it is quite different to what I've done. I've been looking the voting figures from the election as well as the speech and mine focuses more on varied layouts for each paragraph rather then stressing the emphasis on within the speech. Heres a couple of working pages, the eventual plan is to screen print the pages (thus the limited colours) and make a commemorative book. We'll see how it all goes.


Some rather amusing splash pages for Internet Explorer Users from the Joe over at Hugs For Monsters.
Some brilliant work from brazilian born fashion designer VĂtor Manuel da Cunha Bastos who has created these knitted molotov cocktails. His label Ofilhobastardo is definitely worth a look.
