This poster is reminiscent of work I am working on at the moment. Overlaying a colour over a faded out background. I think this is very effective at the moment.

Spiral Portrait
This is amazing! Hand drawn portrait using different tones of pen and spiral motions. Very clever and innovative.
3D Street Painting
This is the world’s largest and longest anamorphic street painting in Canary Wharf, London! Someone had posted it up on Twitter, so I thought I would share it!

Circular: Work In Progress
Spreads from the third magazine. Still being worked on ready for hand in!
Is Drawing Dead?
“Is drawing dead?” A provocative question, but you are probably reading this at your computer, and perhaps the only pencil at hand is the one you chew on for comfort. Since the Renaissance, drawing has been the architect’s primary tool of expression and investigation. Now the use of digital technologies like parametric modeling and computational design have changed the way architects define and depict space. This February the Yale School of Architecture will host “Is Drawing Dead?,” a symposium that considers the present and future role of drawing in the architectural profession.
Pentagram’s Michael Bierut and Yve Ludwig have designed a poster for the event using the simple design parameters of the series of posters we’ve designed for Yale since 1998: black, white and type. Here, a broken pencil takes the form of a “Y.”

Ingrid Siliakus
“The artwork ‘Cosmopolitan’ is a new work especially created for an exhibition. Subject of the work are buildings of New York. The work consists out of four sides: two white and two black sides. The four sides are connected to each other by means of integrated tabs and slots. When these tabs/slots are loosened the work can be folded into a two-dimensional surface.”

Angus Hyland Typographic Circle Posters
These are a series of posters Angus Hyland designed for his talk at the Typographic Circle.
The posters illustrate the talk title, “Symbol, Mark and a Typeface.” The evening will be divided into two parts, the first based around Hyland’s book Symbol, which analyses enduring trademarks, and the second on his ten-year collaboration with Cass Art, the iconic art materials retailer.
Type Maps
I really like these typographic maps by Bold & Noble. Screen printed on to slate grey paper.

Typographic Revolt
“Following great exposure with A Grotesk Love Affair, HypeForType approached us to work on a new project -They wanted to produce a 16 page Tribute to their Exclusive Faces range of fonts. Instead of following the traditional convention of a read through booklet, we decided to go down a more conceptual route. The end result was a quick read through A3 magazine which also doubled up as a set of 8 typographic posters. Each page folds out to create an A2 double sided poster perfect for your studio or home wall space. In this Direct Mailer , we instigated a typographic revolt, a rallying cry to all Type and their users to take up arms against the tyranny of mediocrity that assails our eyeballs and spits in the faces of good designers all over the world.”
