Type Specimen Research

After speaking to Andy and Fred I need to extend my Séarlait McCrea brief. After looking at successful type specimen books I wanted to create one for this brief. My favourite is the Milieu Grotesque books, they have a narrative and are designed in a non-design way. Most are Riso Printed... if I was going to sell the typeface I would pay to have my specimen book printed.

Inspiration Séarlait picked out from:

'Introducing: Visual Identities for Small Businesses  
LavaFilm, created by Bureau, Bruneau, 2011
Lavafilm is a collaboration between two Norwegian Film-makers. A extensive typeface was created with at least 5 different variations of each individual letterform.
Pino, created by Bond, 2010
Pino is Finnish for 'pile' or 'stack'. It is a interior decorating shop, this idea of stacking is translated into the I of Pino. Séarlait liked how this was transfered across all the brand, including the store organisation.

Passport

Passport is Rosalind and Jonathan who graduated from LCA last year. I really like they're design, especially their publication and type skills.
Rosalind's work: Fonecian
Infinity
Influence
Johnathan's work: A Drop In the Ocean
Passport : Studio Branding
R J Scott
I ordered 50 metal paper fastener, they are a nice way to temporally bind publications so more content can be added. They are used in Influence and R J Scott branding.
