Imprint

Having perused http://www.magmabooks.com/  I came across Daniel Eatock's 'Imprint', he's the Graphic Designer who created the Big Brother's 'Eye' design.  I must admit it has kept me thoroughly amused and that is something.  He has a crazy sense of humour and has noticed how people leave abandoned car battery's in random places, so he has left photos of abandoned car battery's in blank spaces throughout his book.

Pomme Chan

Given a choice I would always go for hand-rendered typography, this suits my leaning towards illustration.  I learnt quite a lot researching Peter Bilak,  but his style generally left me cold.  But I guess experiencing what he is all about gave me a clearer judgement on my own taste.  I particularly liked that he co-produced dance with  a choreographer, I'm always impressed when creatives branch out in unexpected ways.  This is a really inspiring designer I have come across, you can see more of her work at www.pommepomme.com/news.

She borders a very fine line between hand-rendered typography and illustration in this particular piece of work.
