Mind design. Illustration. Untitled. SI Special: North × Fourth Floor Corner Shop. △Fourth Floor Corner Shop Identity, Packaging and Signage Design: North in collaboration with Richard Stepney △Fourth Floor Packaging Design: North Project Background For more than two decades Fourth Floor has been doing things differently – cutting and colouring hair with maximum application and minimal fuss from its bright, split-level salon atop a 1930s industrial building in the heart of Clerkenwell. Accessed via a goods lift, it has remained firmly below the radar while attracting a fiercely loyal clientele and whilst many come from the arts, media, design and the creative industries all share with Fourth Floor an independence of thought and outlook. Its recent twentieth anniversary was marked by the publication of a clothbound book (click here to see the feature) featuring interviews, designs and recipes from clients including Jon Snow, Tom Dixon and Nigel Slater.
Now Fourth Floor is venturing into new territory. Design Notes Acknowledgements www.4thfloor.co.ukwww.northdesign.co.uk. Balla Dora Typo-Grafika. Bureau Collective – Work. Graphic Design, Typography and Grid Systems - Part 2. I primarily write about print design on this site, but most of the work I do is User Interface and User Experience design. Until recently, Photoshop was the only real application one could use for UI design, even though it wasn’t designed for it. It’s kind of like using a road bike to bomb down a mountain. You’ll eventually get to the bottom, but you’ll bang yourself up good on the way. The feature set, and the workflow, of PS is not optimized for UI design. We accepted it, and kept trucking along, only because we had no other choice. Then Sketch came along. Sketch is a vector-based graphics app by Bohemian Coding that offers a set of features, and workflow, specifically built for UI design. Some of the benefits of Sketch are: Super easy to use.
These are some of the great features you’ll find in Sketch. It’s not all perfect, though. Now, I know this sounds like a paid advertisement, but I can assure you that I haven’t received a dime from Bohemian Code. Enjoy. Visuelle.co.uk.
