8 Faces Typography Mag

added on Friday, Jul 16, 2010 17:10 pm

I just bought a copy of this fresh new print magazine. (Yes, these days you need to mention that it is a PRINT magazine.) The designer and publisher Elliot Jay Stocks asks eight designers what typefaces they would choose if they could use only eight for the rest of their lives. I'm especially interested in Jessica Hische, Jason Santa Maria, Jos Buivenga and Jon Tan. Erik Spiekermann is also among them, he will mostly choose his own fonts. The design of the magazine seems to be up to par with the content, judging from the photos on the site. (Although I personally don‘t like the cover with eight portraits crammed into the negative space of a big eight.)

Johannes Heuckeroth, one of my students at the Ohm Hochschule Nürnberg started a new daily photography blog. Each day he posts a new shot of the sky. Great idea, beautiful execution.
