Simon Page

I am unsure on how I feel about this piece yet but it caught my eye for reasons unknown...











I just stumbled upon this guy, he is a self-taught graphic designer from the UK who specialises in typography, illustration and geometric design.


VICENTE GARCÍA MORILLO

I just came across these awesome posters by the graphic designer Vicente Garcia Morillo check out the link for portfolio.


















































Based in Madrid, Vicente Garcia Morillo likes breaking the rules of graphic design and typography. Vincente’s energetic artworks are inspired by his obsession for electronic music and iconic typo’s. His graphic design flyers and posters write the dictionary between the language of art and the bold statements of nowadays multimedia culture.

These are some examples of some really nice typography used in book design I found at http://books.sorodesign.com/ these spreads from a poetry book for children, the designs are fun and really well designed, I am hoping to achieve something like this for my booklet for my Professional project.
