In two weeks my folio will be lying on a white table in an empty classroom. In two weeks there will be no more to work on, no more stress, no more 2o something tabs in Firefox. No more eight open files in inDesign at once. No more a room filled with empty teacups staining dozens of school papers and sketches spread around my computer like yellow leafs around a tree in the streets. Yes I'm almost done. Almost gone crazy.
Before that happens, let me show you some cool stuff. Jonathan Safran Foer is one of my favourite authors. Also I love the art covers wrapping his beautiful words. My fascination for both his writing and the covers started with 'Extremely loud and incredibly close'. My dad picked it up for one of my birthdays telling me he had a feeling it would be a good match. It really was.
About the art cover, it is the playful typography that truly grabs me and makes this cover so special. Looking at some of the other art covers for Foer's books, they all have that same feel. They are all great examples of hand made typography in this loud and playful way.
They are all designed by Gray 318.
Talking about typography as an illustation artform, I can't help myself but to show you some wonders created by Sarah A. King, starting with my favourite piece.
