Currently reading a book by two designers I really look up to:

Read a fantastic article this week on the origins of Basque typography and it's influences—

"Yes – I can’t just put things on a page. I find it very difficult to do that. Within the context of a book there are the other pages and elements that need to interrelate, so structure becomes important in unifying the thing. When I do posters there’s less reliance on it, and it’s more an organic arrangement of the words. I find those easier now than I used to."
—Phil Baines
A great article from Eye Magazine about Phil Baines, a typography professor at Central Saint Martins (& fellow urban typography enthusiast!) whose work and philosophy I greatly admire.Â
