Erik Brandt in Bolivia

Hoootah! Our hero and friend super-designer Erik Brandt is in Bolivia! And you know what that means – lots of typographically amazing photos! Typography is a specialty of the eyes for Herr Brandt, and his camera helps him help us to understand the lovliness of his environment. Explore with me, and him, if you will, a collection of 120+ photographs of graphic design and lettering lovliness from the city of La Paz, Bolivia!

Point of special interest: while you’re browsing, take special care to see the manhole covers, sewer covers that are spread throughout the set. They’re all just splendid. Then of course let your eyeballs taste the broken and perfect sets of letters from all around the city.

From the fantastic blog of mister Brandt:

This coming week, I am delighted to be traveling to La Paz, Bolivia to attend the BICeBé 2009, Bienal Internacional del Cartel Bolivia. Organized by Susana Machiado and David Criado, it promises and amazing array of international speakers, workshops, and exhibitions.

And so here we are, the main set of lovely photos. I cannot express enough how much of an influence Erik Brandt has had on everything you see here. Everything as in World Famous Design Junkies and your everloving-publisher, me, Chris Burns. Erik Brandt is a professor at my Alma Mater the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. There he spreads the knowledge that only a world-traveled typography collector can teach.

Indulge in the following set, and do not forget to visit Brandt’s news feed http://geotypografika.com/ often as possible. Click the heck out of it and learn yourself some typographic mathematics!
