This is one of the projects submitted to the International Society of Typographic Designers, a professional body run by and for typographers, graphic designers and educators in the UK. As its founder, Vincent Steer said: ’ … to bring together in friendship and mutual help, all those with a love of the printed word’. Although Steer could not foresee more than eighty years ago was the development of desktop publishing and the importance of the typeset word ‘on-screen’.

The picture portrays the work of Mayanne Trias, which caught my attention.

Stefan Sagmeister at Les Arts Décoratifs
Another exhibit about promotion and sales material
13 October–19 February 2012

The Austrian artist Stefan Sagmeister (1962), with a degree at the University of Applied Arts Vienna and at Pratt Institute of New York, has lived in New York for the last seventeen years, and has for the first time an exhibition in France. Considering that there is no distinction between so-called “cultural” and commercial graphic design, he has worked for several of the great names in music (David Byrne, Talking Heads, Lou Reed, Rolling Stones), also executing numerous commissions for companies and institutions (Levi’s Jeans, BMW, Casa da Musica de Porto, etc.). For this exhibition, he has decided to focus on his commercial work done in the last seven years. Divided into four sections, it focuses on the distinct typologies that Stefan Sagmeister distinguishes in his work: “Selling culture”, “Selling corporations”, “Selling friends” and “Selling myself”. The exhibition designed by Big Game highlights the breadth of his graphic language, characterised by his subtle combination of the applied and fine arts: technology, intimist drawings and gigantic installations illustrate his disc jackets, commercial catalogues, exhibition catalogues, posters, visual identities, logos, etc.

Sagmeister always has an interesting approach to typography, from letters carved into his chest with a knife to coat hangers, plastic piping, and hot dogs Sagmeister has encouraged people to express their ideas with creative typography, exhibited in an online gallery called Things I Have Learned In My Life So Far.

One interesting quote I found reading about him is this one:

It’s kind of odd that our cities are not filled with mind-training gyms the same way they’re filled with body-training gyms.

House Industries and Herman Miller Japan announce a conceptually elegant collaboration that combines the classic Eames wire-base table with timeless typographic forms drawn from the House Industries Eames Century Modern font collection. Each tabletop is hand-printed in House’s Grand Rapids, Michigan factory, returned to Herman Miller for assembly then packaged in a special House Industries-designed wooden crate.

House Industries and Herman Miller are producing a limited edition series of 80 tables that include A thru Z, numbers and ornaments from House Industries Eames Century Modern font collection. Forty tables will be available at the Herman Miller Reach event on September 16, 2011 and 40 will be available at the House Industries exhibition at the Herman Miller Tokyo Showroom on October 27, 2011.

Marian 1554

2000-
The possibilities of typefaces made up of a single weight strokes in Illustrator has long interested Barnes. Removing the stress reveals the basic skeletal forms. Marian is a series of close interpretations from original source material of the classics for the 21st century. Marian 1554 is the classic combination of Claude Garamond’s Roman and Robert Granjon’s italic.
