Great examples of FRESH FRESH typography

So this is a page I found with a collection of different designs and links to the designers pages. Kinda cool.






Buro North is a design studio so its a collection of artists who work on the projects. You can look at their recent jobs and it tells you what they were going for as well as having the images in context.






Enjoy guys,

Children's Book Creator

This is the designer I chose to share with you guys. His name is Robert Sabuda and he creates these awesome pop-up children's books. He has a partner for some of his books, including his Pre-Historic Encyclopedia series. I think it's pretty neat and would love to be able to have the skill and talent for creating books like these. Check him out!

It scrolls sideways and it is in Japanese, but their artists are still really cool.

at-a-glance this was my favorite. (Adam Pointer)

Love the gradients. I feel like this is the real way to use them.

and I also was attracted to Satoshi Matsuzama

Eco-friendly Design

I thought that the designer from this site was pretty cool artistically, but also for the reason of their incorporation of their own personal mission to all of their work. I like how this person's career does not relegate his/her idea of what is right and wrong and they decided to work really hard in providing people with alternate solutions for printing and hosting websites in a more green way.
There is also suggestions on the site for greening your work if you are already working in the graphic design field by way of encouraging people to make little changes about the materials that they use to print.

The graphic artist I'm fascinated with at the mome

He works primarily in Flash. His pieces utilize the computer's ability to create random compositions. 

His colors are amazing!

In the Thorndike Collection - course relevant documentary!

Fascinating, three thumbs up .... This documentary references many of the graphic artists and issues we have discussed in this course, in addition to the Unibomber, Negativeland, the CIA and U2.

Sonic Outlaws, a fragmented, gleefully anarchic documentary by Craig Baldwin, approaches this incident from several directions. Some of the film is about the legal nightmare that ensued from Negativland's little joke. In a highly publicized case, U2's label, Island Records, charged Negativland with copyright and trademark infringement for appropriating the letter U and the number 2, even though U2 had in turn borrowed its name from the Central Intelligence Agency. SST then dropped Negativland, suppressed the record and demanded that the group pay legal fees. Trying to remain solvent, Negativland sent out a barrage of letters and legal documents that are now collected in "Fair Use", an exhaustive, weirdly fascinating scrapbook about the case.

Sonic Outlaws covers some of the same territory while also expanding upon the ideas behind Negativland's guerilla recording tactics. Guerilla is indeed the word, since these and other appropriation artists see themselves as engaged in real warfare, inundated by the commercial airwaves, infuriated by the propaganda content of much of what they hear and see, these artists strike back by rearranging contexts as irreverently as possible. Their technological capabilities are awesome enough to mean no sound or image is tamper-proof today.
