A brief discourse on typography and its place in our collective histories, with specific relation to the industrial revolution

In which our hero discovers the perils and delights of mess-free small scale screen printing, and shares some early results.

In which our hero subjects a classic Japanese film poster to characteristically superficial analysis.

In which our hero considers the transliteration of film poster aesthetics into the then nascent form of computer game advertising.

In which our hero spots something unexpected on the back of a 1991 Suzuki Vitara.

In which your humble author gives mad props to a fellow designer, who has in recent times been a source of considerable inspiration and learning for the Literal Kid.

An exciting development has appeared on our hero's horizon, and he's too excited not to share it...

An example of the power of a nice animation to sway even the most disinterested of hearts.

In which our author returns once again to an idyllic past, when computers were as big as your house and the future was monochrome plastic.

Unearthed from the hard drive of destiny, a forgotten semi-gem, left half-finished due to the vagaries of your author's mind.

There's some really nice photo-illustration bits here. Geometry + lomography = interesting, isn't it.

This one's called Perception Shift, which is a bit pretentious I suppose, but that's partly why it's wicked.

No posts for ages! Mental. Anyway, yeah, here's a thing I art directed and designed at work. It's a blog / ideas sharing place for people who work in the charity sector. I thought I'd focus more on the ideas than the charity, and indulged my retro-futurist streak with some vintage type and such.

Have a look at the site. It's quite nice, even if I do say so myself. Which I do. To anyone who'll listen. I wrote a slightly pretentious article about Fibonacci numbers for it so you can read that if you're feeling particularly disinterested in whatever other activities might be available to you.
