PARISTEXAS

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 28 Jul 2012 05:48:00 -0700

THE TASK
PARISTEXAS opened its doors in the spring of 2007 to an entirely new shopping experience in the heart of Copenhagen. PARISTEXAS is an exclusive fashion store focusing on specially selected designer products for men and women. The store’s collection is unique, like a symphony composed of a number of international, trendsetting, underground brands exclusive to PARISTEXAS. The assignment involved creating an identity that breaks with the traditional thinking behind identities and by extension supports a sense of unique, international exclusivity and underground style.

THE SOLUTION
The visual identity springs from the contrast inherent in the name – the morphing of Paris and Texas. The logotype is simple and taut, while the colour palette is flexible and changes with the collections. Identity and uniqueness come to the fore when the store’s symphony of collections is juxtaposed with the austere underground style and becomes a morphing of music instruments and earthly insects.With this contrast-filled universe, the solution seeks not only to break with the traditional perception of beauty and fashion – it also challenges the classic approach to working with identity. The primary identity element is not only a logo, but also a symbolic universe with a life of its own.

Superhero Typographic Classifications
MFA Thesis Exhibition, December 2011

The most distinguishing factor of any font is its characters. Hidden beneath these characters, each typeface also has character—its own unique characteristics. However classified this information may seem, when used correctly, typefaces often speak to us more powerfully than the words that are written with them.

Signika

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 27 Jul 2012 07:57:00 -0700

Signika
A bit playfull typeface designed for pedestrian signage.

Signika is a sans-serif with a gentle character, developed for wayfinding, signage, and other media where clarity of information is required. It has a low contrast and tall x-height to improve readability of texts in small sizes as well as in large distances from the reader. The typeface comes with a wide character set supporting most of the Eurpoean languages, small caps, pictograms and arrows. The figures are designed as tabular. Being a typical signage typeface it is inspired by typefaces such as Ronnia, Meta, and Tahoma. All weights from Light to Bold have alternative Negative versions, optimised to solve the effect of juxtaposed positive and negative text setting, where the text in negative tends to look thicker.

Here's a little story to this project.

Yes! I am strongly influenced by swimming pools! Because this year has been mainly about Swimathon. I couldn't even swim 2 years ago. But this year I have completed 5k swimming challenge in 2 hours 19minutes, in order to raise money for Marie Curie Cancer Care (They provide free care for people with terminal cancer)

A lot of training as you can imagine.

KANDINSKY TYPE

noreply@blogger.com (Searching Typography) — Fri, 20 Jul 2012 01:23:00 -0700

I had the idea of experimenting with Kandinsky's color and form theory in 3 dimension. I started with thinking each letter as a 3d canvas to play around with color and form, but also together they would form a type experimentation on Kandinsky. I presented each letter as a color and form composition and tried to relate them with the space as they are intended to be perceived in 3d dimension.

Wassily Kandinsky, a Russian-born painter, printmaker and theorist, was one of the pioneers of Abstract art. His paintings of 1913 are considered to be among the first completely abstract compositions in modern art history, as they made no reference to the natural world and were inspired by (and took their titles from) pieces of music. His nonrepresentational paintings paved the way for the development of the Abstract Expressionist movement that dominated American painting after World War II.

He was highly influenced by the sensorial properties of color and sound, and sought to visualize these properties through increasingly abstract compositions. As a painter, Kandinsky tried to translate the most profound human emotions into universally comprehensible symbols and visual sensations. He saw music as the most transcendent form of non-objective art, and strove to produce similarly object-free, spiritually rich paintings.

This is project is self promotional. I wanted to send out something that truly was about my myself and how I design. I didn't want to send out something that was my C.V designed in a clever way. I wanted to grab someone's attention that had a sense of humor. People take design too seriously, especially when searching for jobs. I basically wanted to say "Hey, I know that your busy and have a team full of great people, but I can get the job done too"

FTRT typeface

noreply@blogger.com (Searching Typography) — Thu, 5 Jul 2012 01:41:00 -0700

The FTRT typeface is the result of a 3-month research and design. It is constituted by capital latin and greek letters, numbers and symbols, in three different weights and a total of 251 different glyphs. It is characterised as a modular typeface, in which all the glyphs have exactly the same height and weight, in order for the typesetting to be easier in a grid environment or for lettering - the letters being either in a landscape or a portrait setting.

The inspiration during research were the posters and the wider work of Dutch designer Willem Hendrik (Wim) Crowell, known also as gridnik, who propagated his love for typographic grids, typography and visual order in general.

The FTRT weights (light / regular / bold)

FTRT Light: 48,45%
FTRT Regular: 100%
FTRT Bold: 137,11%

BOLYAR
by the Fontmaker

A Bolyar was a member of the highest rank of the feudal Bulgaria - second only to the ruling Tsar (king). This font is closely related to its name origin - we believe we've created a royal, majestic and elegant typeface.
We've developed a wide set of alternates, swashes, ligatures and ornaments so that this font will be able to face your needs from simple body type to a strong dominating headline or even logo. We do enjoy this new font and we believe it would be very useful to a large part of package and label designers as it would be excellent choice for everyone designing a letterhead or a newspaper headline.

Antiqua with classic "Roman" proportions.The principles of classical architecture can be seen in combination of its direct and rounded lines - vertical climbing pilasters, semi-circular arch, a horizontal cornices. It is intended for titles and headlines but can be used to set body texts too.

Extended Latin and Cyrillic.
