Heinz Klinkon has a posse

This is a project I did in a class about a month after Heinz Klinkon had passed. From what I can tell it’s the best documentation of the discussions about him before and after. The objective of the project was to pay respect to the wisdom and inspiration that he shared. I chose to share text rather than photos, because his words are was he was so well known for. Students, myself included, would have to quickly whip out a notepad, if we weren’t already equipped, to jot down some of the remarkable things he would say. His perspectives were beautiful, consistent and just what we needed to push us to the next level without giving us the answer. You are missed, Heinz.

Thanks to Maury Postal for reminding me to post this.

Ballet Font by Wieden + Kennedy 12

Ligne is a beautiful concept in creating type through movement as a tribute to learning in non-traditional ways. You can download the font. The simplicity in the idea and execution is a beautiful example of how technology gives us a stronger voice to tell our stories. Cheers.

If you don’t already know about this amazing group of typographic heroes, you will soon be as obsessed with their work as I am. Check out their About FoT page for all their background.

In addition to their amazing plethora of their own work, they’ve visited Type@Cooper and interviewed Jessica Hische (who does some guest posts).

Recently, we’ve seen an emergence of type into areas such as fashion and interior design. Therefore, it was only a matter of time before we saw a closer relationship on the Design Sponge.

Starting with a type design contest called Design Your Own Alphabet sponsored by Veer. There have already been some wondeful and interesting entries.

Check out the Top 3.

In addition to the contest, Design Sponge has interviewed 3 type designers. I was glad to finally learn a bit more about Louise Fili and I enjoyed some great advice from the super rad Jessica Hische.
