Sponsored / Graphic Design By designers, for designers: Monotype’s font subscription service

Font libraries are a bit like a record collection. Each is unique to the owner, reflecting their particular style or taste, and each catalogued item serves a specific purpose – be it cult classic or floor filler. It can be a daunting prospect – trawling through many different font families and committing to a purchase when you might not be quite sure if that particular weight is perfect for the masterpiece you are working on. The Monotype Library Subscription has been launched with this, and more, in mind. Featuring popular designs such as Frutiger, Helvetica, ITC Avant Garde Gothic, Metro Nova and more, the service is an ever expanding resource that takes the financial strain and creative limitations out of font licensing.

Features / Graphic Design Hacking Heidelberg: how Erik Spiekermann came to reinvent the printing process

After a career as one of the world’s best-known graphic designers, Erik Spiekermann has returned to a teenage hobby and, almost by accident, ended up reinventing the printing process. His newly developed technique is coined “post-digital printing” and combines a traditional letterpress with laser cut, polymer, metal-backed plates, which allows designers to bring their work direct-to-plate. The results are prints with a much higher quality than letterpress and offset, with dark black ink, a tactile quality and a satisfying sharpness.

Every month, ten people descend upon a basement studio in Dublin’s historic Merrion Square. The streets are lined with grand Georgian houses and pristine iron gates protect a well-kept public park. Each person is there to attend a two-day workshop organised by a tenaciously talented Welsh woman in order to learn how to make film props.

Work / Graphic Design Studio Frith on designing Alexa Chung's "formal but playful" fashion label

Earlier this year fashion icon Alexa Chung had her many fans reeling with the news of her own label. The campaign saw the model, muse, presenter and writer put her trend-spotting taste to use in creating her own collection. Such an exciting move from Alexa had to look slick and playful in every aspect, from the clothes to the branding, which was created by Studio Frith.
