Hand & Eye Letterpress

I'm in the middle of a two week placement at Hand & Eye Letterpress in East London. It's been amazing so far but very tiring so I must now recline and rest for another day pressing letters. More words and some photos to follow.

I'm currently in the midst of the final project for my degree. It is a campaign which intervenes with the everyday, to create more optimism and maybe even happiness. I have been documenting it with photography and the above is something I found in the studio, it describes my current status (and blog absence).

It's true, and it's new.

Faber Films

Here are a few of the final book covers for the D&AD Faber Films typography brief.

The brief was set by Faber & Faber to design book jackets for the Faber Film back catalogue. The design works across the whole range of books as well as identifying each book category. I used the idea of feeling of design to create an overall look. My recurrent theme was paper and unique processes with type. Each book category had a different way of using paper and type. 

The design had to be simple to reproduce other titles to work with new Print on Demand technology.
