post typography
these guys are great. they are designers who have a passion for typography and what to focus their work around it. which makes me feel quite vindicated, as typography is my passion and where all my ideas spawn from.
i think their volume of work is to a high standard and there is a good range of aesthetics coming through. their influences are quite apparant: push pin studios, saul bass, also in some of the type compositions i'm getting a feel of russian posters and some of the hand drawn work is of a simular humor and stlye of james victore.
i found there manifesto a bit pretentious because it stated quite clearly what they was against and how much they wanted to distant themselves from it all but left little to explain what direction they wanted to head in and what they was for.
i do admire their will to do something different and as an aspiring graphic designer this gives me more determination to do things my way and my language.
