No Fun, Torso, And Plurex Flashback To The Punk And Post-Punk Era⁣ Available at www.draw-down.com ⁣ ⁣ This Riso printed booklet pays homage to the independent record labels No Fun, Torso, and Plurex, which together played a pivotal role in the rise and dissemination of punk and post-punk music in the Netherlands from the late 1970s through the ’80s. A limited-edition reprint of a publication produced for an exhibition in Amsterdam in 2016, it gives an account of No Fun and Plurex, both based in Amsterdam, who were among the first labels to connect with the young punk movement. No Fun soon changed its name to Torso and continued to build an impressive and varied catalog. The booklet highlights the personal memories and views of the musicians and other key figures to tell the story of these labels. With illustrations by Joost Swarte and Max Kisman / Printed in a limited and numbered edition of 150 copies⁣ ⁣ #Risograph #MaxKisman #Punk #PostPunk (at Amsterdam, Netherlands) https://www.instagram.com/p/By2Ypb_HgEX/?igshid=13ce0bud5zwjw

MAX KISMAN - TYPECON 2004 ANNOUNCEMENT POSTCARD

(MONDAY 20TH APRIL 2020)

I think this is an interesting communication, because it relies on the colour and proximity between shapes to create meaning. I think that is clever because it relies off my understanding of what letter forms look like, even if the presentation of each letter is slightly more abstract. 

I don’t necessarily know how effective this piece is however, because, as an audience with no prior knowledge of this event, I struggled to understand the final word - High. Not only could I not initially decipher it, but its relation to the left word - type - means nothing to me. What is Type High? Yes, I am not the target market of this product, and yes, it probably has a meaning within the context, but at a first glance, I was confused. I think it is because of the colour palette. I like it, but it lost consistency on the second row. The ‘Type’ and ‘Con’ and 2004, are largely the same colour, however, is very chaotic in the lower rung. For me, the ‘type’ on the second row was more understandable, however, I just couldn’t see it immediately in the second word. 

I fell into a rabbit hole on Designspiration, scouring through pages of typography. I found a digital model of type, to which I followed the artist (Corey Holms), or who I thought was the artist, to his Flickr account, and poured through his collections as well. I found this postcard by Kisman listed under the TypeCon Archive on his page.
