A very nice lettering manual.

A new pen, for a new year. And a slight twist on an old saying.

Remarkable 16th century botanical calligraphic artwork by two masters of the past: Georg Bocskay (1510–1575), court secretary to Ferdinand I, and Joris Hoefnagel (1542–1601). First created by Georg Bocskay to demonstrated the different styles of calligraphy of the era, the book was later ornamented with intricate fruits, flowers, and insects by Joris Hoefnagel and commissioned by Emperor Rudolph II, Ferdinand’s grandson. This unusual artistic collaboration between scribe and painter disrupted the history of manuscript illumination and gave us one of the most fascinating and beautifully crafted manuscripts of all time.

A pretty early example of a lettering effect that reminded me of Brownjohn, Chermayeff and Geismar’s That New York and identity for The Electric Circus.

 

Grignani also used this distortion effect for another design 1959: an ad for arthritis medication.

Experimental lettering, as part of a continual self initiated project.

I stated that I liked teaching Color and Design more than any other class. (That's like saying which of my children I like the best.) Anyway, I thought about that. I really liked teaching Graphic Design, Calligraphy, Lettering, Color and Design, all the classes that were related that I was responsible for over the years.

 

I started out as a calligrapher after studying with Lloyd Reynolds, contemporary American writing master. I also freelanced design and prepress production while continuing to do and teach calligraphy.

Perchè d'estate la reflex al collo è pesante e fa sudare, quindi noi scattiamo con il cellulare!!

 

Il tema della settimana: PAROLE

Uno dei primi, e di certo inaspettati, regali per la casetta nuova: i cuscini di Rondinella :)

Wanted to get an arc to the thing in order to reflect the rest below.

I am soon running out of my favourite notebooks and I can't buy this particular format and paper quality anywhere, so I decided to get some custom notebooks made.

This is some lettering for the front.

 

The back will be this:

I bought this green 1A Pocket Kodak Junior for my daughter's birthday gift, but I couldn't resist a shot of the Art Deco lettering on the flip-out stand.
