Randle rambles

I stumbled across this site last week after reading Johnson Banks – Thought of the Week. Absolutely gorgeous book sleeve design from David Pearson. Before setting up his own agency he was an Art Director at Penguin Books. A must see and I think that I am going to have a hole in my wallet after a trip to Foyles this week!

Continuing the theme of extra large typography I spotted these excellent storage units on the Fubiz blog. I have no idea where you can buy these ( I suspect they’re European) but I am trying to hunt down the manufacturer to get some costs.

Small, Medium, Large & EXTRA LARGE typography! Wow!!

I spent my design education really admiring Why Not Associates, their print work and books really were an inspiration. Quite a unique style which has often been copied but never executed with the same degree of skill. I had put them to the back of my mind until this week when I was going through my book library for research material.

I have put the locations of their environmental designs to the top of my list of places to visit.

Some exceptional work from Barcelona based graphic designer Alex Trochut. Amazing portfolio of illustration and typography based work for some of the worlds biggest brands. You may not know him but you will know his work.
