I'm an avid fan of Lenny Bruce. The man truly understood the power of words. That is why when redesigning How to Talk Dirty and Influence People, I chose to create a type portrait of Lenny made of some of his famous quotes and quotes about him.
How can research findings, personal experiences, and complex ideas be translated into a concise visual identity?
45 Symbols—Clay to Code examines how emerging artists and designers develop systematic approaches to a visual language, inspired by one of the most enigmatic objects in media history: the 3,700-year-old, still-undeciphered Phaistos Disc, embossed with 45 distinct symbols. The works present a range from personal narratives to global themes and demonstrate how an original visual grammar can be constructed.
Over more than a decade, the internationally hosted design seminar series The Phaistos Project—Forty-five Symbols have evolved into a global community—driven by open calls, workshops, exhibitions, and risograph publications. This volume, 45 Symbols—Clay to Code, brings together over 2,000 symbols as the result of this collaborative endeavor. It stands not only as a living archive of research inquiries but also as a testament to collective experimentation, bold visions, and the expression of intercultural dialogue.
The contributions are organized into five thematic fields:
I. Traces of everyday life, material culture, and the domestic archive
II. Planetary surfaces, landscape as archive, and the ecological memory of the Anthropocene
III. Politics of language, symbols of protest, and collective transformation
IV. Cultural scripts, spiritual codes, and visual identity
V. Speculative alphabets, linguistic flux, and future archives
This book aims to both inspire and provide hands-on methods for developing skills in visual storytelling, documentation, and reflection practice that foster authentic, systematic, and distinctive personal outcomes.

The Concept
In the world of Orwell’s 1984, the individual is not important. Rewriting the past in order to control the future, world domination, the Party and Oceania are the only things that matter. I wanted the design to convey the same themes: war, censorship, propaganda, absolute obedience and brainwashing.
The treatment of the image is suppose to convey a dreary feeling and by masking the face of the subject, he is no longer important. I deliberately placed white space across the cover at eye level to accentuate the theme of censorship. The general concept is “you don’t matter!” The font font I am using is Telegrafico. I chose this font because of it’s large counter and sharp edges which give the font a stern and rigid feel.
One of several cæsura, inserted during shifts in the narrative. Each one used a different photograph from the original drugstore pack, a contour drawing of one of the farm buidings, and an excerpt from the notes scrawled on the reverse of the photographs.
On the occasion of the Building ligatures book release celebrating our 15 years as the TypeTogether type foundry, we look back on relationships we’ve made and look forward to even greater things together.

A beautifully designed and printed descriptive brochure of the municipal Colleges of Art and Technology that were part of the City of Leicester's Education Department. It describes the history of the institutions that had their origins in 1870 and the founding of the Leicester School of Art. The institution developed into the Leicester Municipal Technical and Art Schools and their first purpose built home was opened in 1897. The name was changed to the Leicester Colleges of Art and Technology in 1924.
A wide range of courses, academic and vocational, were offered and these are described and illustrated in the booklet from which these extracts are taken. These included the School of Industrial Design which encompassed the Department of Printing and Book Production and it is from these two departments that this brochure sprung; it was designed by the Head of the School, A. E. Christopherson A.R.C.A. with technical assistance from F. C. Errington. I am fairly certain this was printed at the College and indeed, it shares some strong design similarities with other contemporary Leicester City Council publications that I am increasing certain had input from this source. The photographs are credited to A. L. Cook. The Department of Printing and Book Production was one of the various municipal schools of printing that had national recognition.
In later years the Colleges became the City of Leicester Polytechnic and, in 1992, this became the De Montfort University.
