Ebay Type Auction from Supalife Kiosk

This is a fascinating idea and there are some interesting names involved with the project who are worth looking up.

Supalife Kiosk is well worth a visit if any one happens to find themselves in Berlin!

"From the massive swirl of excitement and press and wonderful insanity surrounding Stefan Sagmeister's book, Things I Have Learned In My Life So Far, come these images. They are by Marian Bantjes, whose work is ABSOLUTELY beautiful."

Hand Drawn type

There are some nice examples of hand drawn type on this blog, I particularly like this one by Linzie Hunter made out of some manila coloured paper for drawing sheet music on and the insides of envelopes, really simple but effective. Materials like this are quite cheap to get hold of and with a little consideration can have quite suprising effects. Remember you don't always need to start with a blank white piece of paper to create something beautiful.

Rob Ryan @ Yorkshire Sculpture Park

Normally I don't really need much of an excuse to get down to The Yorkshire Sculpture Park, but this month there's an extra special reason to go.

"Artist Rob Ryan will be transforming the Visitor Centre at Yorkshire Sculpture Park this winter as his imaginative paper cuts and screen prints go on display from 11 November.

Famed for his detailed hand-cutting of delicate papers into intricate patterns, often revealing whimsical stories or poetic phrases, Ryan will be decorating the four metre-long shop window at YSP with a huge paper cut panel. Framed one-off paper cuts and limited edition screen prints, exclusive to YSP, will be on display throughout the Centre.

Decorated vinyl panels by Ryan will also adorn the windows in the Visitor Centre, and a brochure designed by the artist featuring all the work on display will accompany the exhibition. A range of items will be available in the YSP Shop, including an exclusive laser cut Christmas card."

Also, if silhouette is your thing, check out Jan Pienkowksi's illustrations for Joan Aitken, Lottie Reiniger's animations and Jane Ray's book illustrations.

Anna Garforth

Check out Anna's work. Using natural / recycled media she creates urban, situational art which is often typographical like this recent piece where she created type with fallen leaves and cocktail sticks. If this isn't your bag, she is also a really competent illustrator. See her website here.

A really great book...

Found type

Sometimes it's as simple as taking a look up isn't it?

It seems fairly obvious to say that the human mind has a great aptitude to recognise even simple and crude letter forms. This is a great advantage for the designer when working with found type - your audience is pretty much guaranteed to be able to 'read' your visual message.

The beauty of Lisa Rienermann's "Type the Sky" is in its apparent simplicity - constructed from such familiar architectural shapes and placed into a new, a fresh context, it leaves us with a suggestion that these letters (or maybe even words) were always hanging around inbetween buildings and down dark alleyways. I wonder what conversations the buildings are secretly having with each other.
