The Typofiles #67: Odds & Ends

Posted on July 20th, 2010 by by Nubby

This is a fun one! Last night, I walked around my office and gathered up some specimens with interesting type that I had sitting around. Featured is a piece of a Mohawk Paper package, an A&G Merch business card, a Chloe tag from shoes, a page from the NOA NOA look book and a hang [...]

The Typofiles #66: W Magazine // Black Arts

Posted on July 6th, 2010 by by Nubby

This page was an intro to a W Magazine fashion spread last year — I became slightly obsessed with it at the time and had it pinned above my desk for many months. I really like the use of Helvetica paired with the op-art graphic. It’s so very reminiscent of a vintage Swiss poster design [...]

The Typofiles #65: Gaga for Elle and Senso for Solestruck

Posted on June 29th, 2010 by by Nubby

Sometimes adding type diagonally to a simple layout adds a fresh spin. I had completely forgotten about this cover that only subscribers to U.S. Elle received until last night when I was was searching for the new Rihanna cover (which also features some tilted type). In a way, it reminds me slightly of the first [...]

The Typofiles #64: Maidenform

Posted on June 22nd, 2010 by by Nubby

Perhaps the longest running print ad campaign in history (1949 to 1969), Maidenform bras were featured alongside the tagline “I Dreamed I….in my Maidenform bra.” The activities highlighted in the campaign were fairly ordinary (at least in the beginning), but the accompanying imagery was much more intriguing. My favorite ad from this epic series is [...]

I am a huge fan of Non-Format and I love this spread they designed for Very ELLE, a special biannual edition of the French version. All of The Typofiles can be viewed here.

The Typofiles #62: IdN Magazine

Posted on June 8th, 2010 by by Nubby

Something that seems relatively easy but usually turns out to be a challenge is creating a page layout with multiple images and stories. When you’re handed a folder of pictures and a text document, creating something visually pleasing feels like a game of type Tetris! I’ve had a number of editorial design projects lately and [...]

The Typofiles #61: American Apparel Punctuation BLACK Pantyhose

Posted on May 26th, 2010 by by Nubby

I am sure that everyone is sick of seeing me around town (and on the web) in the American Apparel Sheer Luxe Shapes Pantyhose in Nude / Black Punctuation so I just picked up the black version. Slightly dressier and a little less reminiscent of leg tattoos, I’ve already worn them a ton. Sheer black [...]

I just received a catalog from House Industries featuring the new Eames Century Modern type family and thought I’d share a few of my favorite pages. If you’d like to get your own catalog, click here. All of The Typofiles can be viewed here.

The Typofiles #58: American Apparel Sheer Luxe Shapes Pantyhose

Posted on April 13th, 2010 by by Nubby

I just discovered the American Apparel Sheer Luxe Shapes Nude / Black Punctuation Pantyhose and they are like a total dream come true! These are super lightweight and allow your natural skin tone to show through. Since I’m not big on the bare legs look, I will surely be sporting these all spring and summer [...]
