Contagious Creativity
Discussions with various creatives about a variety of topics surrounding creativity.
Talk about the need to appreciate and preserve lettering as an essential part of our daily lives, often overlooked. The inspiration comes from observing lettering in the surroundings, such as signs in coffee shops or unique signage. The speaker mentions the success of their project, Good Type, which gained a large following without resorting to paid followers. Research is emphasized as important for designers, although it’s becoming a luxury due to time constraints. Immersing oneself in the subject matter allows for better problem-solving and communication through graphic design. History plays a significant role in type design, with the speaker using it as a source of inspiration. Each typeface created is seen as a tribute to ancient typographers and calligraphic styles, incorporating historical models and interpretations.
