superexpresso Ai Records

29/November/2009

We’ve already posted about Ai Records celebrating it’s tenth anniversary by releasing a very special project – aptly named ‘When I Was Ten’.  That was C+D (formerly Hide Your Toys) producing the first sleeve but this is superexpresso’s design for the tenth and final cover.

Aptly named ‘When I Was Ten’, this is part of a project using ten artists to design a sleeve, with each design then being lovingly hand screenprinted onto both sides of each sleeve.

Words as Pictures - superexpresso comments on type

18/August/2009

Superexpresso appeared in an article entitled 'Words are Pictures' in the June edition of ComputerArts magazine.

Speaking of his approach to type, superexpresso is quoted as saying "I consider myself a hybrid between illustrator and typographer.  I never studied the strict rules of legibility in depty, but I like mixing language with illustration to enhance the storytelling possibilities of letterforms.  Letters are one of the main tools of design; their function is to communicate concepts.  I love to modify their form when possible; to change their structure and shape; to make them funny or dirty depending on the project."
