Museo Sans

October 6, 2008

Welcome to exljbris, the library of Jos BuivengaI. I really like the fonts which this guy puts out. So I was delighted to learn he had a WordPress blog which reveals all the ‘behind the scenes’ (so to speak) on his releases, as well as works in progress on up and coming creations. After to subscribing to the feed I discovered that Museo Sans has just been released – according to Jos its a  “sturdy, low contrast, geometric, highly legible sans serif typeface very well suited for any display and text use.” Its also easy on the eye which is always a bonus.

I found this little design and lyric on the back of a plain white postcard to advertise the ‘How to Write Series’ by The Guardian. I got my attention!

A dear old friend and fellow-collaborator of mine from the other side of that big, big puddle called the ‘Atlantic’ has launched his portfolio site. Sporting some seriously keen photography and art direction. Nice one Jim! Remember – ‘is all about the process…’

A strange beast, but beautiful; one of my all-time fave design/motion graphics studios. Based in New York. They’re called Tronic.

‘Bastardised’ Bunch’s book celebrating 289 Bunchisms is nearly here! Nearly a year ago Bunch, a branding and design agency with studios in London, Zagreb and Singapore, asked respected creatives to take their logo and produce a visual reaction to it, in order to form the basis of the Bunch identity. The launch of the book will be in London at the end of the month and will be available from all the ususal design bookstores, no doubt. It will feature ‘Bunchism’s’ from myself (pictured), amongst other notable image makers like BB Saunders, Build, Ed Fella, Ben Casey and Stephan Sagmeister.

Adobe take a utilitarian approach with the packaging of the new CS4 suite.

shut up and drive

September 23, 2008

Some work in progress for Drive™ – a bold, bold slab-serif typeface we’ve been chiseling away at over the last few weeks.

Still not there yet though. As you can make out we’re struggling with the G’s and Q’S and as of late I’ve been trying to get these awkward ’slants’ out of my system to counteract the seeming illegibility when the letterforms are arranged together. Any thoughts?
