Great typography and color palettes from some vintage grocery boxes I bought in Upstate NY. Enjoy.

"TerminologĂa Tipográfica: CĂłmo sobrevivir al dominio anglosajĂłn". Daniel RodrĂguez (17-17:30h).
A recent task in pathway stage was designing alphabets both through illustrated lettering and 3D formations. I wanted to create a playful colourful alphabet so used the popular childhood toy LEGO to create the digital style letters. I think the overall effect is striking and simple but the colours would need to be more carefully thought out in order to make the letters more legible.
Theophile-Alexandre Steinlen design 1896. His 305 by 228 centimeter (10 X 71/2 foot) poster printed in panels is one of the beginnings of ourdoor advertising in the style of contemporary illustration that eventually produced the huge billboards of the twentieth century. Steinlin's panel poster was commissioned by the Charles Verneau printing plant and was posted as an advertisement for the company on the streets of Paris.
Steinlen was a friend of Toulouse-Lautrec and they were both masters at drawing on the lithographic stone. I wonder how this was printed on a nineteenth century press, and what was the source of the letterforms. Cold type, hand drawn, or what.

I'm happy to say that I have work in Steven Heller and Lita Talrico's book, Typography Sketchbooks. The book is packed with heavy hitters (Art Chantry, Ivan Chermayeff, Milton Glaser, Erik Spiekermann), I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing in their company! When asked to contribute for the theme of typography sketchbooks, I decided to use the notes and files from the design process for the Frazer/Montague Design logo. The first spread is from an actual notebook and the second is one of the sprawling Illustrator documents I generate when I am trying out different directions for the design of a logo. I might have been a little too honest, a lot of the work in this book looks like finished work that involves typography. Also, they don't show my final design, for the logo, but that's OK, the reader basically gets a sense of it from the first spread.
