Typography and Maps? Winning!

I love nothing more than a good bit of typography and when you combine it with maps… I’m all over it!

Check out these cracking typography map examples by Axis Maps. Not only are they accurate, but each letter used is painstakingly hand-placed taking 100’s of hours to complete.

Perfect!

Graphic Prints from Cul-De-Sac

If you’re a fan of Graphic Prints, you’ll surely appreciate this collection from the wonderful Cul-De-Sac.

Great use of colour and shape and what’s more, they’re in the process of developing more!
 

Visit their website here, it’s pretty smart!

I judge the book by its cover...

Everyone’s done it at some point and if you haven’t already, you will one day – You’ll buy a book based purely on its cover design. This is why it’s so important getting cover design right!

There are so many great design examples to post here but I wanted to highlight one designer in particular, Jason Booher.

‘’Jason Booher designs book covers as well as other things’’ This is the long and short of the information detailed on Boohers website… I like that.

Other than peeking through his collection of cover designs, his website holds no further information, just his designs. His work has a very Jan Tschichold-feel about it, which is probably why I like them so much!

To check out more examples head to his website jasonbooher.com You won’t be disappointed.

Web Design vs. Print Design

I’m well aware that the days are long gone where a designer can comfortably specialise in one discipline.

While I have quite a lot of experience as a print designer, I'm always keen to brush up on some of the skills I haven't used in a while. That's why I made the decision to revisit my coding skills – something, I thought I’d never be able to master. 

 
Last night I started to plan out a new website (thought I better start with my own, nobody wants a rusty designer let loose on their URL!)

It’s clean simple and has a clear navigation through the site, for my 1st dip into 'proper,' web design I’m fairly pleased with the results. 

Now I’m straight onto the next build - a photography website, sneaky-peek… 

...iainbaillie.com coming soon!!

Thanks,
