PRINT | Intaglio method

TYPOGRAPHY | The Making of Biome

A very interesting article by Carl Crossgrove laying out the inspirational (see images above), creative, and technical process behind Biome, a typeface introduced in 2006.

The design process is remarkable in it universality. By that, I mean that regardless of scale or discipline, a thoughtful process can be applied to achieve successful final product. Many thanks to Mr. Crossgrove for sharing his insights into a process - typeface design - that many of us know too little about (in spite of the fact that we reap its benefits daily).

BOOK COVERS | Penguin Classics team up with (RED)

Penguin Classics offers some of the most well-designed book covers out there. Admittedly, I've purchased the Penguin version of my favorite novels over other options, just for the sake of beautifying my bookshelf.

Now, Penguin teams up with (RED), the AIDS awareness fund, to create a limited-run of themed covers and the results are exquisite. Eight titles in all receive the signature (RED) treatment, and each cover is unique in the use of graphic elements and typography.

It appears it's time to make more room on the shelves...
