Three books are floating around the studio this week.

A recent buy is David Airey’s Logo Design Love which is a great insight into his own identity design process.  It seems primarily aimed at students but has some great examples of sketch work and unused ideas which contributed to the final design of many famous logos, so all in all a great read for anyone interested in the topic.

I am currently re-reading Robert Bringhurst’s Elements of Typographic Style. a classic and at times a little over the top but a great and essential read!

Finally, I have just been lent Rework by Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson by Boy Moving Image, apparently it may change everything… will let you know!

The video below can be customised and the submitted to the V&A with the best being displayed around London.  For more info see http://www.vam.ac.uk/microsites/decode/ . For more info on the exhibition please see below..

Decode: Digital Design Sensations showcases the latest developments in digital and interactive design, from small, screen-based, graphics to large-scale interactive installations. The exhibition includes works by established international artists and designers such as Daniel Brown, Golan Levin, Daniel Rozin, Troika and Karsten Schmidt. The exhibition features both existing works and new commissions created especially for the exhibition.

Decode is a collaboration between the V&A and onedotzero, a contemporary arts organisation operating internationally with a remit to promote innovation across all forms of moving image and interactive arts.
