For the most part art is considered a luxury item and so when times are tough out there (economically) the art world is hit pretty hard.The
Brooklynite Gallery
has come up with a great idea for turning a pretty shit situation into the fuel for a creative extavaganza through an exhibition that capitalizes on the global recession. Go Get Your Shinebox!

My first Spanish type treatment
11/13/2009 11:24:06 AM
I was recently asked to put together an ID and CD cover treatment for a new album by Spanish disco funk band
45Doblecero7
. The album name is Simulamos... not sure what it means. Anyway here's a sneak preview of the treatment I came up with. The actual cover is a 3 fold cd with an 8 page booklet inside. The only real design mandatories were that the type be volumous and colourful (using yellowish tones). The initial brief was entirely in Spanish which was a kind of interesting experience... Babelfish translation only got me so far but thankfully the guys had better English than my Spanish so we got there in the end.

Can't say I've seen one recently but I bet any modern day Australian travel poster overseas is riddled with cliches like Uluru at sunset, the Harbour Bridge/Opera House or Kangaroos/Koalas doing what they do... boring. Bring back illustrated travel posters I say... they leave a lot more to the imagination and say more of the culture than any landscape photo ever will. Some more over at the always awesome

Hot diggity – Guimarães Jazz 2009
11/9/2009 10:12:50 AM
I'm absolutely loving the shit out of these typographic posters created by Portuguese design studio
Martino&Jaña
for Guimarães Jazz 2009. The brush work and dynamic script style of the typography, not to mention the striking charcoal/grey lead illustrations give me all kinds of goose bumps. So good...!!

Ed Ruscha was illustrating type when your folks were still in nappies

Well maybe not... but he was achieving the kind of effects by hand that most of us still struggle to do digitally some 40 years later. Respect.

The King Pin by Nate Holmes Trapnell
10/30/2009 5:00:46 PM
The King Pin is the name of an upcoming show by the talented Melbourne based illustrator
Nate Holmes Trapnell
which opens November 12 at
Gorker Gallery
. The series is based around a crew of seedy bowlers with names like
Pin Ponies
and
Slippery Chickens
who are inked up to the eyeballs and love their ciggies and hotrods as much as the bowling alley the unites them all. A little tease of what's to come below. Should be an awesome show.

Very clever don't you think?
"For our bachelor thesis, we engaged ourselfs with dynamic typography, especially with dynamic typefaces. Since not much work has been done in this field, we devised a system in which a typeface would not be defined static fonty styles anymore but would be able to change it‘s shape and appearance at any moment reacting to a broad spectrum of inputs."
Bachelor Thesis von Michael Flückiger und Nicolas Kunz
Hochschule der Künste Bern 2009.

I'm not really sure how to classify this blog but I hope to share with you a few of things that I find interesting, amusing and inspiring. As an editor and head designer of the Lifelounge family, I'm semi obsessed with all things typography, design and art. Enjoy.
