Jessica Hische

 

Designer Jessica Hische is the person behind the blog Daily Drop Cap. She is a great typedesigner, graphic deisgner and illustrator, who can measure with the like of Marian Bantjes (well... almost). I especially love her hand-lettering.

Siggi Eggertsson

Icelandic designer Siggi Eggertsson studied graphic design but during his study shifted his focus towards illustration and typography. Eggertsson’s work really stands out. No sketches, doodles or collages. His style is based upon patterns, vector shapes and lines. It’s a bit like pixel art, simple and expressive.

Amandine Alessandra

Amandine Alessandra is a freelance photographer and graphic designer from France based in London. Her 3D typedesign projects are really interesting. Take a look at her Letterform for the Ephemeral.

René Knip

One of the best Dutch designers in my opinion is René Knip. We attended the same Art College but I'm afraid that's where the similarity ends... His work revolves around typography and typedesign, in the widest sense of the word. He combines a craftsman’s use of materials with a personal concept of design in which he works together with authors and poets. Gebroeders Knip was founded with his brother, Edgar Knip, who is an industrial designer. They use two-dimensional lettering, as created by René, to give form and poetry to the three-dimensional structures that Edgar creates. Look at his amazing work on his website.

The garland below is also his design. It's lying around in my house, you see, I'm pretty hesitant to cut out the letters and use them as an actual garland. It would be a shame to ruine the design!

  

Atlas of typeforms

I rescued this big atlas from the garbage at the office!

Eye Magazine

We're moving. And by 'we' I mean the company I work for. Not far, though. We're staying in the same building. But it does mean that we're throwing out lots of stuff. Old projects, office furniture but also old magazines and books. And that's were I come in! I took a lot of 'garbage' home, great books and stacks of design magazines, such as these old issues of Eye Magazine. Great! I'll go through them and hopefully come up with a lot of new blogposts.
