This week I will mostly be doing... (a little bit of fast show humor) ... Research. So I've just started a new module 'Typographic & Editorial Design' and for this week I must do two research tasks.
Task 1 is to pick one editorial designer from a list and research them. I picked a nice man called David Carson. I've already done this research task and I must say I really like his work. He's a American born graphic designer who became very famous in the 90's. My favorite piece of work of his that I found whilst researching is his cover for 'little white lies' magazine.

To me this is such a unique cover and I only wish I bought a copy when it came out, I've always like the idea of text over image and I think this cover does it perfectly. From the light delicate drawing of Natalie Portman to the strong unyielding use of type and placement. The films not bad either, just a bit weird in some places.
Task 2 is to pick one typographic designer from a list and research them. I picked Andrea Tinnes, I have started this task but not completed it yet. From the research that I have done already I can say she has some really cool typefaces out there one of my favourites from her website is DasDeck.

It appeals to the sci-fi nerd in me, what can I say give me a strong lined sans-serif type with slight curves and I'm in geek/typeface heaven.
I guess next Monday I'll review on how my research has gone this week. I bet you can't wait can you.
