Eric Hu

A Thousand Characters

One thousand unique illustrations of each character in a classical Chinese poem that consisted of 1000 non-repeating Chinese characters (千字文). These were drawn with my mouse using a dynamic drawing application I had programmed in Processing then manipulated further in Adobe Photoshop. A separate website where all 1000 illustrations will be online soon.

Olivier Lebrun

A Pocket Companion to Books from the Simpsons in Alphabetical Order

the last couple of years, graphic designer Olivier Lebrun has been collecting screenshots of Simpsons episodes that (in one way or other) display books. A Pocket Companion to Books from The Simpsons in Alphabetical Order assembles his 174 favorites. Not included are Simpsons magazines, newspapers and other printed matter, which possibly could serve as material for a follow-up to this project.

Braised Chap is the satirical typeface Jonathan Swift’s A Modest Proposal (1729) should have been set in. Its forms are sourced from various specimen sheets of the Caslon foundry. Its optical awkwardness is the result of flipping selected letterforms, thereby imitating sarcasm’s tendency to flip the meaning of a phrase.

Checked Baggage

2004In 2004, Meindertsma purchased a lot of 3264 objects confiscated from travelers at security checkpoints at the Amsterdam airport. This book is a visual catalogue of those objects, which range from souvenir corkscrews to toy guns. Each copy of the book is sealed with one of the actual objects.
