Catherine Alliott

Catherine Alliott has a collection of 11 novels with the first dating back to 1994. They are all equally sought after, however over the years the cover designs have altered in their ‘styles’ and as a collection they do not match.









Whether published in 1999 or 2009, her books are still selling so the cover designs need to have a familiar, up-to-date look that will have customers recognising it and grabbing the next one in the collection over one of her rival authors.

Organic Type

OrganicType has lots of sketched typefaces like these that are really quirky and nice :)





Oatmeal & Cinnamon

The Oatmeal & Cinnamon blog by Sarah Miller has many lovely designs and hand made lettering on it. This design is a handmade screen print calendar in limited edition, featuring hand drawn type of cultural and iconic celebrities in their birthday month.




Linzie Hunter

Came across this site ages ago and am really glad I found it again. Linzie Hunter's work will definitely feature in some of my briefs later on.

3rd Year - It's all about the type

Stefan Sagmeister
My aim for the third year is to build a portfolio that is:
Driven by hand drawn and digital typography, layout, publication and promotional designs for print.

With this in mind, the next few posts are a few cheeky finds before the briefs start.
