You can check out the other finalist’s work here. There were over...

Hoi!
Hey everyone. I’ve opened a new blog, the link is above or here. I’m in The Netherlands studying type design and I thought I’d write about my experiences here. I will try to keep this blog solely for typo-nerd stuff and actual work. But if you’re interested, please check it out! Cheers, Dave

Travelling Scholarship Announced
Sweet, free cake. I’ll get some after the announcement. “It’s at this time each year we announce…” I need a seat. Or a glass of water. I need both. Is it hot in here? Just stay calm. “…and is awarded to a young designer at the start of their career” There’s no point getting worked up. You’re not going to win any way. Ok that helps. No...

Travelling Scholarship Application
These are 3 illustrations (1 cover/2 title pages) from my proposal for the Design NSW Travelling Scholarship. I presented to the judges with a 44 page A3 portfolio (impressively printed and bound by the guys at Digitalpress) outlining my work and my proposal to go to Den Haag.

Getting Ready
I was cleaning out all my junk in preparation for moving to Den Haag when I found a small collection of nibs and calligraphy stuff in an old suitcase my grandmother once owned. Although she was an amazing artist, I never knew she liked calligraphy. This is my first crack at some script. I think the ink is too watery or something. That or I have no control, probably both. I really love the textures...

Absent
I apologise for a lack of posting lately as I’ve been trying to work on a more developed, polished piece of typography which I had planned to finish soon. However my iMac has decided to die and I’m trying to get it fixed asap. The whole processes has not been aided by my stupidity in losing my applecare serial number. I aim to be back on, posting etc on a regular basis as soon as I...
