Seen: A few things to experience for July.
June 30th, 2009First of all, it would be Underware’s new Liza. Its awesome.
Just have a look at the awesome alternate figures below.
PDF downloads, tryouts available here.
Frankly, if I get it, I’m not sure what I will use if for but I’ve always look forward to a quirky typeface build with serious sensibilities and expansions. No doubt the Underware type-treatment is pretty obvious though. But yes, I love the typefaces Underware create. They rock.
Secondly, I want to watch this movie:
Milton Glaser: To Inform & Delights
I found an interesting post-screening Q&A session on youtube.
Thirdly, Seymour Chwast’s new book. Like most designers who read Design Observer, I was delighted by the comments made on this post on Seymour. Notice Paula Scher’s comments insisting that the book is a good read. Well, I would believe so because he has been working non-stop since the 50’s I believe. Now, that’s really something to be attentive to really. First few pages of the book can be seen on Amazon.
Yes, Milton and Seymour may be old school but the likes of them keeps me wonder and prepared to embrace the future. Like I always say, I do not plan to be a graphic designer forever, I do not plan to retire as well. And I certainly always find these folks refreshingly dedicated to their work regardless of time and changes.
I guess that’s all for now. Am busy working with Kyoorius Designyatra stuff starting today.
