Me: fresh out of LCP, finished on a Friday, moved into a bedsit on the Saturday and started work on the Monday, here at BJP. Admittedly it was a few years ago, working with the David Hillman designed version using faxed(!) galleys and Grant enlargers with the then Art Editor Sean Johnston. And look at it now, certainly an improvement, though there are niggles that Creative Review has picked up on but, still, good to see it still going.
AceJet170 likes his maps… this one was highlighted a few days ago and, frankly, I had to get one for myself (actually, I got me two!). It’s a sweet thing of beauty. I can also see it worked up newspaper-style by the Newspaper Club, another little venture that I’m trying to use at some point(!)
Some stunning photography of London… at night… from above (Jason Hawkes has a whole bunch of stunning aerial photography from around the world… s’true). We lived in London for a good fifteen years and had a great time, brilliant place and now don’t live too far away as I don’t think it’ll be out of our system completely.
Found Frank Chimero, a graphic designer/illustrator through his ongoing ‘States’ project a while back (he likens California to a stubbed out cigarette and is making his way around the rest of his country). But lately his ‘other’ project has been relaunched: Thinking for a living. Check it out and lose some time, quality time though, not wasted.
Having just done Typecast myself and came out as ‘Helvetica’… I came across this again, ‘the only book on Swiss graphic design for the chemical industry’ – it took some finding but Grain Edit had it so I’m linking to them. The word is beautiful.
