Where new design goes to blossom and lost design goes to live again.

Mowing the Letters

If you have one wheel higher than the rest of the wheels on your lawn mower, you’ll have weird grass. That’s just a fact. Write that down if you’re smart. Then it’s time to look at this triad of posters made out of flyers / classifieds / bulletins. What a wild world we’d live in if everyone knew all about the kerning of the characters.

Our hero, designer Brock Davis, just started this series a few days ago, and wowie I hope he continues. This sort of designing, old versions / crappy “real” versions turned into typographically lovely designs, is so hot right now. Mostly it’s record covers, but since the greatest humbler of a graphic designer is a street sign, aka a “lost dog” poster, I think these are very appropriate.

It’s sort of like a secret battle between designers and muggles.
