Love Type? Oh yes. Yes. And yes. So he. Typeaholic?? Oh yes. Yes. And yes.

Sweet branding suite and print collaterals circa? Guessing these were part of either his ‘student years’ or ‘early career’ portfolio.

Angus MacPherson is now a resident creative at Human After All.

Can you tell he’s busy? Can you tell he’s prolific? Can you tell he’s talentend? 126 logos retrospective poster by Mark Bloom aka MashCreative designed between 1998 and 2014?!?!

This is their shop!

I love typography. Typography is entitled to be voted a long lasting fascination. Superbly conceptualized, crafted and staged – these projects caught my eye.

She is not a refiner. She operates on instincts; she gets it the first time or second or never.

She thinks clients like to buy process (time) and are afraid if you get it instantly!

She was told to illustrate with type.

She felt her hands had been cut off when the puter came around.

She thrives for this moment when she knows she has nailed it and lives for it!

Meet Paula Scher from Pentagram.

_______

Her design approach seems to be to stamp as many – and as much big BIG typography as possible.

Her knack at putting odds + odds = eccentric intrinsically beautifully balanced projects.

Her best work are letter driven – not picture driven. But her choice of visuals with off-center cropping and / or duotoning and / or monolithic subjects complete her expansive typography – perfectly.

Visual osmosis. Virtuosity.

Guess it’s easy to understand why one of her books is titled: Make it Bigger! A journey into her three decades of design.

IWANT is the studio of John Gilsenan, Creative Director. From fine arts – to printers’ shops – to agencies and now to freelancing – he is a prolific and consumate master of the visual arts.

His style is so eclectic – it defies any categorizing. Let’s agree – it is stamped by a rare gift of imagination.

His dazzling collection of sleeves designs will leave your jaw on the floor.

Rilke is an independent creative studio based in North West London. Established in 2009 by David Davidopoulos and Kate Smith, Rilke set out with a clear mandate: ‘We want to produce work that matters. One fundamental step: we question.’

This is a sweet website – using a one-page storyboard that includes tangible visuals and quirky design elements.

That flowery interface blew me away. Today UI expectation what not – is keen to favor flat design (which I love since ND has been flat – forever in web years) which shows just about ‘nothing’ as visual expression except for completed projects. All that ok.. but..

Her little place on the web is like a beautiful garden in the shade – waiting to bloom. Altho a work in progress – her portfolio shows one project but a superb one. I can’t wait to see how her career evolves and new projects she gets involved in.
