We love our fonts in hands of a great designer. Prague-based designer Petr Kudláček used Trim Poster to create the visual identity for Sutherm, specialists for Samsung air conditions and heat pumps.
After discovering a copy of the NYC Transit Authority Graphics Standards Manual in the basement of Pentagram, designers Jesse Reed and Hamish Smyth have set out to reissue this unique piece of history. For a limited time you can support their efforts through a Kickstarter campaign that has been set up. Starting at the $118 level, each backer will receive a copy of the reproduction which will include an intro by Michael Beirut. After this campaign, the book will never be reissued again. See all the details here.

I’m loving the retro stylings of Goncalo Viana. A native of Lison, he originally studied architecture, but discovered his true passion lies with illustration. His portfolio is filled with dense, layered compositions brimming with geometric shapes and brilliant imagery.

Yesterday another edition of Reasons to be Creative in Brighton, UK closed. This terrific three-day festival is the successor of the legendary Flash On The Beach. Voted “Best Conference of The Year 2013”, it gradually evolved into an inspirational event with a broad scope, mainly focusing on creativity and code. I was honoured to be part of it in 2012 when I provided the Tuesday night’s Inspired session with my movie poster talk and did a livestream from the Influxis Lounge, and last year I had a blast simply attending the friendly conference. Unfortunately I could not make this edition. Everything from programming to stage set-up feels relaxed yet is meticulously organised by the extremely huggable John Davey. One constant are the great opening titles. I discussed last year’s titles by Royal Bandit; this year they were produced by Dutch creative agency From Form.
