MSLK Exhibition at ICFF May 16th

This Sunday MSLK has an exhibition coming up during the International Contemporary Furniture Fair. The show is called Uncomfortable Conversations and along with 14 other designers we've all created something in hope of provoking an awkward situation. For the show we've designed five typographical posters showing how thoughtless font choices and poor letter and word spacing can create an unintended message. If you're in NYC and free on Sunday night I'd love to see you there! RSVP here.

Wearing Whitman's Words

On Saturday I went to Wearing Whitman's Words: A Typographic Exploration at the Lucky Gallery. As explained on the site:
These designers were asked to make selections from Leaves of Grass to visually explore letter forms. The designed words will be displayed on the front of t-shirts with the selected text written on the back in a font consistent across each of the shirts. This contrast will highlight how the shape of letters can add meaning to the words we read.
There was some great design here so if you're in the area you should definitely go check it out. If not, you can always have a look at the websites of the designers involved. Thanks Lucky Gallery, for the free t-shirt and the beers!
