Alan Fletcher: Living by design

This is a great article written by Michael Bierut from Pantagram NY.

Great blog about graphic design here

no. 10

In his book Picturing & Poeting Alan Fletcher says, "The 0 in the number 10 on the black door of the British prime minister's house at 10 Downing Street is wonky. Take a look when you next see a newsreel."

He's correct. And I know why.

It's supposed to be so that when you look down the street (from Whitehall) you see the door at an angle and the 0 looks straight.

Type trumps





A set of Type Trumps, a play on the game Top Trumps, in which different typefaces are attributed numerical values. These figures are then used to enable the cards to be won or lost using some of the tried & tested ‘Top Trumps’ rules. The Type Trumps have a ‘ranking’, which is a subjectively ascribed positional value based on my personal favourites. Each card also has a ‘special power’ in which participants have to debate which would win. Both the ranking system & the strings of ‘special powers’ add a whole new geeky dimension to the game!

Wedding invitation



Simply removing the dot from the word ‘claire’ reveals the word ‘dave’ proving that they really were meant to be together. The word ‘dave’ was printed in metallic blue on uncoated white stock and covered by a translucent stock which carried the dot of the ‘i’ and the wedding details on the reverse. The two sheets were then stitched together with white cotton.
Entered into D&AD 2007 Annual. Won Gold in the New York Festivals.
