Typography over Images.
Beautiful animated piece for Audi’s Q3 from Why Not Associates.
Typography blog royalty, Seb Lester, has stunned me with his beautiful interpretation of the word Peace. His hand-crafted Typography practice usually impresses me but this piece is just stunning.

Playtype, a website that sell typefaces, opened up a Concept Store in December which will stay open for a year. Its decor is as you imagine - type!
A huge A sits in the window, inviting you in to browse the rest of the family. Wooden blocks, a stack of mugs, and huge plaques are few of the interior beauties adorned by type. I MUST get there. This is a potential holiday destination for summer…
My guilty pleasure? Bad language. The F Word, and I don’t mean the f**king show. My Uni Lecturer, also a Seasoned Swearer will probably have plenty designed pieces that he could contribute, I’m sure of it.
There isn’t a great deal of merchandise but I like the concept; it’s quirky, playful and interesting without offending. I love it, and I want a t-shirt.
Absolutely Breath-taking. Some Calligraphy from Scribe Luca Barcellona.
Mmmm…food. Beautiful ‘edible poster’ I nosed at after a tweet from designer David Airey.
Packaging Design website, The Dieline, regularly feature Student projects on their blog - project work finished to such a high skill that could be placed straight into a consumers hand!
This work in particular, by Australian student, Kim Hei Ip, caught my eye (as it should, which definitely proves that it serves its purpose) for its bright yellow and beautifully playful use of typography. It is reminiscent of the Innocent range with it’s simplicity and uplifting effect. The only change I would personally make is to, perhaps, use another colour, something a little less harsh on the eye, or use two colours and set the type in a darker tone.
I think that this is a perfect example of the standard of work that students should have in their post-grad portfolios.
