Unit Editions announces the launch of the first in a series of ‘newspapers’ devoted to the neglected, hidden and unexpected corners of graphic design and visual culture.

My copy dropped through my letter box this morning! Just need to spare some time to have a good read.

It is only within the past year that i actually started buying Grafik magazine (and getting a subscription). After a few issues, Grafik decided for a whole change on their front covers, opting for a different logo and a really minimal illustration/colour combination. After checking out some websites i cam across an archive of all previous Grafik covers, and prefer the old ones in the archive to the new ones! There is so much more life to the covers, the logo looked great and the typography and layout of each cover varied and looked great.

Take a look at the archive here...

Currently working on an identity for a tattoo shop that is also turning into a magazine and website. I did a hand drawn typographic logo - sneak peak above. More to come on this little project

Replica is a really nice typeface that i used one of my most recent big projects - WeMayVary. To go with it, i just found the specimen book designed by Norm that shows the typeface being designed and the grid structure to it - lovely!

I recently purchased the new book by Tony Brooks from Spin. After visiting Spin's studio in London and seeing how they work and speaking to Tony Brook i have always been interested in their work. So this book was a must have. Studio Culture: The Secret Life of the Graphic Design Studio is the first title to be published by Unit Editions.
