Type Play

Editorial Layouts... Type cropping/type illustrations. "This Too Shall Pass", a reminder that we cannot experience anything real without extremes. Relief and comfort comes only after misfortune or sorrow. A balance of opposites, mirroring of emotions, shadowing of the connections between both halves. We cannot have one without the other.

Marius Roosendaal

Netherlands based Graphic designer. Reminds me of a more modern Armin Hofmann. Wonder if he was a muse.

Shredding Time

The Chrono-Shredder is a device that reminds us of both date and time. There’s no on or off button. As minutes pass, a continuous roll of time is shredded until you end up with a big pile of paper by the New Year.

Designer: Susanna Hertrich

Color Calender

A pretty colorful calendar concept. Each month color is associated with a month — e.g. blue stands for January and red stands for July. The last page contains contact references to designer’s portfolio. An effective brochure design. Designed by Jonathan Davies.

Barbara Kruger

Enter Barbara Kruger. She layers found photographs from existing sources with pithy and aggressive text that involves the viewer in the struggle for power and control that her captions speak to. In their trademark black letters against a slash of red background, some of her instantly recognizable slogans read “I shop therefore I am,” and “Your body is a battleground." Much of her text questions the viewer about feminism, classicism, consumerism, and individual autonomy and desire. See website here.
