"As a Croatian born designer, I have lived most of my life in Australia’s design capital, Melbourne. My direction towards the design world connects with my passion for photography, my lust for typography and the thrill of creating something from nothing. When I think about Graphic Design, I feel as though it is everywhere. It is a mix of storytelling, craft, science and philosophy. The world is constantly changing and as a designer, I believe I need to adapt. Learning new techniques and stepping outside my comfort zone is how I want to grow as a designer." - Josip Kelava

Inspired by Bob Dylan´s Subterranean Homesick Blues video, where he flips cards with the lyrics as the song plays, Leandro Senna decided to recreate those cards with handmade type. He ended up doing all the lyrics, and not just some of the words, as Dylan did.

Quote Illustrations by Evan Robertson

in , , ,

New York-based graphic designer Evan Robertson takes the cleverest lines written by his favorite writers such as Oscar Wilde and Ernest Hemingway and turns them into brilliant literary posters. “I took little snippets of text and ideas from some of my favorite authors (with some notable exceptions that I’m saving), and let the words be a springboard for an illustration. The illustrations incorporate and interact with the text and hopefully add up to something that engages the mind as much as the eye.”

Evan has a plan to complete around 50 illustrations in a year. He has already completed 24, which you can see in his Etsy shop. via Demilked

Denim Pavilion identity by Pavel Emelyanov

in , , , , , ,

I think we become addicted by identity works of Pavel Emelyanov and his büro "Eskimo". This time the luck came to unknown but brave Moscovian jeans store "Denim Pavilion" and they get this awesome set of branding as a reward for taking a good challenge with awesome designers.

Kandinsky Type by Sinan Buyukbas

in , , ,

This is kind of a creep situation when less and less Russian designers calls to national history of art and design in their work (even most of them are fashion designers). The history that literally gave a birth to European and American schools of Design that is developing nowadays. Take a look at amazing research and development of Kandinsky's works that later became a typography study created by Sinan Buyukbas.

Typography Insight app

in , ,

Typography Insight, developed by Parsons design student Dong Yoon Park, is sort of like an iPad typeface encyclopedia. Only encyclopedias are boring, and Typography Insight is beautiful and fun. With a wonderful and decently responsive interface, you can beef up on type terminology (do you know what an ascender is? A baseline?) compare fonts with a nifty overlay mode, or just get all up in their perfect formed faces to appreciate and learn nuances. via Gizmodo App designed and created by Dong Yoon Park Available for both iPhone and iPad
