Post pobrano z: An interview with James Lewis, type designer

How did you discover typography and decide that it could become your job?

I first came into practising typography at the age of only 14. I was looking for something, anything, to do other than play video games which I had become completely bored of. I begin by learning copperplate calligraphy, then hand lettering, and  finally type design and graphic design at University here in Cardiff, UK.

Do you have some advice for a young designer who would like to get started with font design?

I get this question on Instagram almost everyday and my advise is always the same: follow your interest and fully immerse yourself into the process of type design and the culture surrounding it. Read books, take courses, and fall in love.

Where do you find inspiration for new typeface creation?

Inspiration can come from anywhere, you just have to be open to receiving it. I’ve been exploring 3D lettering for over 2 years now and I continually got asked if there were any font’s out there similar to what I was drawing. VERSA was borne to fill that void whilst being versatile enough to be used across a multitude of applications. 

You made yourself a reputation for layered font, what do you like about layered fonts in particular?

The layered font gives the user a whole other lever ( pun intended 😉 ) of creative options. Seeing the font used by designers all over the world in creative ways I didn’t even think of during production has been so rewarding. 

You recently released Versa, a 3D font family, can you tell us more about it?

Versa is a seventeen layered font family. It’s the first font ever that includes a variable depth, meaning it’s not only 3D but the user can decide just how much they want the word to pop of the page! The 3D design follows a tradition rooted in sign painting whilst its geometric forms allows the font to be very versatile, hence the name VERSA. The font is available in three packages Basic, Pro, & Advanced, each providing a different amount of font files at a corespoinding price making the font accessible to everyone from lettering hobbyists to multinational creative agencies.  https://www.versafont.com/

What are the challenges of starting your own type foundry?

There are many challenges to starting your own type foundry. Similar to a vineyard it takes a while to produce just one product and even longer to build a reputation for quality products. It’s definitely a long game but I enjoy the process and find typeface design a great project to work on between lettering & logo design client projects.

And now for a classic question, any favorite typeface?

My favourite font of all time is akzidenz grotesk. Despite being released in the late 1800’s it remains a workhorse of a sans serif and influenced the most famous font ever Helvetica.

Can’t let your dog live in the house but still think that he deserves a cool and trendy doghouse? Look no further and get this house for your four-legged friend.

Named Doggy Dreamhouse, the doghouse is eco-friendly and offers a natural roof with a view for the dog. It was designed by Studio Schicketanz.

Post pobrano z: 8 Pieces of Technology Every Designer Should Have

Great designers tend to be extremely talented and also work
hard to hone their skills. However, it’s equally important to own and master
the tools of the trade. Having access to the latest technologies might help you
work more efficiently and become highly successful in your industry.

As the majority of the work is done digitally, designers
should have a powerful computer to work flawlessly with big files. It’s also
essential to have a big external hard drive to store them and have a backup in
case something goes wrong. And don’t forget about a comfortable chair, because
working with excruciating back pain can badly affect your productivity.
Discover these eight pieces of technology every designer should have.

A Tablet and Stylus Pen

Although it’s totally fine to create your drafts using
artist’s pencils and high-quality sketchbooks, you’ll still need to work on
them digitally. The best course of action is to scan or photograph your drafts,
and then finish the work using tools such as the Wacom Intuos, a Huion
1060PLUS, or even an iPad Pro.

A Powerful Laptop or Desktop PC

If you tend to always carry your work with you and spend
time in coffee shops or co-working spaces, a laptop is probably the best
choice. Otherwise, a powerful desktop PC back home should do the job. Pay
special attention to the screen resolution, the RAM memory, and the processor —
since you’ll be working with heavy graphics all the time.

An Incredible Monitor With a
Calibrator

It goes without saying that having a high-definition
monitor is of the utmost importance for a designer. You need to be able to see
the colors perfectly as it would be a disaster if they were different from the
final product. Monitor calibrators can help set up the ideal brightness, gray
balancing, and other settings. Plus, they have room light monitoring. It’s
definitely a must-have!

A Big External Hard Drive

Depending on the type of work you’re doing, you’ll be
dealing with massive files. They usually tend to eat up most of the local
storage, so an external hard drive is essential if you need more space. They’re
also perfect to sync your backups as no one wants to lose a day’s work because
of a power cut.

The Latest Software

It would be great if you could create amazing content with
the pre-installed software that comes with your laptop, but that’s rarely the
case. Most designers tend to use Adobe Creative Cloud, which comes with InDesign,
Photoshop, and Illustrator. They may also use tools such as Corel Painter and
Affinity Designer. They’re not cheap, but it’s an investment that’s worth
making.

A Top-of-the-Line Smartphone

Everybody seems to need a smartphone nowadays, but
designers are a special case — they require a powerful device with a capable
network. A great option would be T-Mobile’s iPhone 6s Plus with its 12MP camera and
retina HD display. When you take into consideration that T-Mobile is the
fastest network, you won’t have problems checking those big files on the go.

Quality Speakers or Headphones

Did you know that listening to music while working can drastically improve your productivity? Studies show that depending
on the type of work (problem-solving, data entry, etc.), you might want to
listen to classical music, pop songs, or even dance music! With that in mind,
it’s probably a good idea to have top-notch speakers or headphones so you can
get more accomplished while listening to the right tunes.

A Comfortable Chair

If you’ve ever tried to work with never-ending back pain,
then you know how important a comfortable chair is. As you struggle to focus on
your projects, your productivity decreases and consequently your earnings. The
right ergonomic chair can help with your back, but also with repetitive strain
injury and even with blood flow.

Being a designer is no easy feat. Apart from constantly
trying to come up with interesting ideas for your projects, you also need
incredible artistic skills. But if you don’t have the right tools to work with,
all that talent could be wasted. When you invest in high-quality technology,
you’re also investing in your career.
