Bedstuy Records – Promotional Magazine This newspaper is one half of my diploma thesis. It presents the fictitious hip hop label Bedstuy which I’ve created over the past six months. The label represents a lot of different artists whom I like to listen to the most. These artists are split up into three categories: rap (purple), soulful rap (orange) and oldschool rap (green). The magazine is divided into three parts. Watch this video to flip through the magazine. The project is completely fictitious without any chance of being realized in the next years.

Graphic Journey Blog: Schmalfette: Tall, dark and handsome I know a lot has been written about this… Twen's Art Director, Willy Fleckhaus 1925 - 1987 The ground-breaking 1960s German magazine Twen, including on this blog. But then again, you can never get enough of a good thing. When I first got into this funny old business of graphic design way back in the ‘60s, the high point of the month was picking up a copy of Twen magazine from the international newsagents in Old Compton Street, Soho. I couldn’t speak a word of German but that didn’t stop me from shelling out a not insubstantial amount for a mint copy of Twen. It is called Schmalfette Grotesk and was designed by Walter Haettenschweiler in 1954, a Swiss typoholic. Many designers in the UK at the time wanted to use it, but couldn’t as it wasn’t available here, even via the early iterations of photo setting. Here is a book cover I designed in 1965 that uses cut-up Schmalfette for the title. Such innocent, hands-on days. Heinze Edelmann 1934 - 2009 Above Edelmann’s Blue Meanies
Display | Massimo Vignelli on Bob Noorda | Features Back in the early 60s Bob Noorda was the designer in Milano with whom I wanted to be most associated. His famous work for Milano’s Metropolitana was of the highest standard. We started our friendship by driving to Venice every week to teach graphic design at the School of Industrial Design. That experience and that closeness cemented our friendship and in 1965 we decided to join our offices; that is when, with some other friends in Chicago, we started Unimark International. For a year we worked together at the same desk, each one of us on his own projects, but always exchanging our impressions of them. His work was extremely civilized, his Dutch origin reflecting that culture and bringing a quality of spareness and essentiality to all his projects.
Logo and Brand Identity for G . F Smith by Made Thought Opinion by Maisie Benson. G . F Smith is an independent British paper merchant with a heritage dating back to 1885 and a loyal staff, some of whom have provided over 20 years of loyal service. Made Thought, the design studio behind the visual identity for G . Today’s review was written by Maisie Benson, a final year graphic design student studying at Falmouth university. Almost every major rebrand gets some form of criticism when presented to the design world. I have to admit, that before I read an article analysing the rebrand I had never really ‘got’ their old logotype. On first glance the new logo, designed by Made Thought, appears slightly awkward. A secondary mark replaces the full stop with a hand turning a sheet of paper, symbolising the human touch to the company and the hand-crafted nature of their work. The new typeface, which has been consistently used across print and digital touch points, is a humanist sans-serif designed by Colophon Foundry. Follow BP&O:RSSFacebookTwitter
