Some real awesome type ->

I chose to review ‘Dumbo feather, pass it on’ due to the mere fact it has THE MOST RADICAL NAME. EVER. This magazine promotes itself on being a “mook (half mag, half book” I read issue #22 which included inspiring stories about 5 unique individuals. The article that caught my eye was ironically the one about designing sunglasses.

Being interested in illustration I chose the book ‘What is illustration?’ by Lawrence Zeegan. This very graphic book includes artists such as:
VAULT 49
:phunk studio
Christoph Niemann

I particularly enjoyed the work of Christoph Niemann. His work is the kind that you remember due to its somewhat humorous aspects. His images are vector cartoons that are vibrant and often consist of very bold outlines.

What is graphic design?

To me, graphic design is creating beautiful images using both hand drawn techniques and digital technologies, it’s about self-expression, provoking responses from viewers and well…..creating art. ALAS graphic design is actually very commercial and a gigantic waste of paper.
