Favourite punctuations finally released
I finally received my copy of the book "Type Image" by Barbara Brownie.
Most of the typographic works included are very interesting and I'd like to thank Mrs. Brownie for her efford of collecting the artwork. The only thing that bugs me is the layout of the book itself and the fact that there is a hair line on one of my punctuation layouts where there isn't supposed to be one. But I don't want to be unfair: Barbara Brownie really did a great job. I am very happy having the unexpected opportunity to be included in the book. I guess some of the publisher's designers unfortunately just doesn't seem to have a clue about typesetting. Pity.

"Lorem ipsum" series #1
What if a series didn't have a meaning at all? What if a poster isn't supposed to express anything? Is it possible NOT to communicate AND to design? The "Lorem ipsum"-series, named after the famous standard filler text (or "blindtext" how it is called in german), is an experiment which is condemned to failure. Though not only the text but also images are meant to be dummies, it makes sense in some way: Layout, typography, colours - all this is put together by our mind's tendency to find a meaning even if there isn't a meaning...
