A series of 95 beautiful designs explaining philosophy using simple colors and shapes, available as a postcard box and a book.
Conceived by London designer Genis Carreras, this appeals to the science communicator in me. A sort of visual version of Sophie’s World.
In fact, it’s the first Kickstarter project I’ve backed.
Remember Nick Gentry and his floppy disk portraits? In his latest exhibition, he’s swapped the floppy disks for vintage 35 mm film negatives and x-rays backlit with LED strips.
Visiting Tessa Rose Jackson’s site, I liked the visuals. The’re made by Utrecht graphical artist/designer Lennart Wolfert. Ik like the playful vintage-like typography and judging from some of his work for musicians, we overlap in musical taste.
