Brief

This is my final negotiated project, for this I entered D&AD brief. The brief was to design a supplement for The Typographic Circle. I choose 3 designers, who have given talks for the Typographic Circle and produced a cover and at least a 4 page spread on each individual. My chosen designers were, Angus Hyland, Rian Hughes and Jonathan Branbrook.

Inspiration

The idea was based around twitter and allowing us to see information from the actual person they posted online. Rather getting the information about them from various websites and books which sometimes be out of date or not reliable, I wanted to communicate with the audience what really happens in a life of a designer. So by picking main tweets over the recent months we get a more accurate knowing of the designer through work or either personal related tweets.

Output

This supplement highlights the designers work, opinions, information, social life and pictures they taken over the recent months. From this we get an up to date view on their life that allows us to see the human side of the designer but interestingly by being limited to 140 characters of what they want to say or show. I placed QR codes in the supplement on some tweets, with this the reader can engage and see what the tweet was about by directing the reader to the relevant websites giving us the full image of the designer.
