Tomlin. Tomlin regarded this book as different from the ordinary newspaper type-book because it contained full alphabets on paper which didn't affect the visual weight of the face.

We of course couldn't help but be impressed, favorites include the work on Italian Elle, Ad campaigns for Gianfranco Ferrer, Dolce & Gabbana, as well as the work for Italian furniture giants like B&B Italia, and Capellini amongst others. The archive marks an exciting chapter in the history of fashion and graphic design, bold and expressive use of typography and image making. The studio still exists and continues its collaboration with fashion, retail and commercial clients, and long may it continue. Many thanks to Paul from The EDO for pointing this out to us.

Since it never made it to press, the only way to see it is online here Jeremy didn't show much of the insides so here are a few really great spreads showing how impactful illustration really can be.

Is it that they are totally different people? Is it that they look almost the same? Is it that one expression is shocked whilst one smiles? Or that one is wearing thick rimmed spectacles whilst another is merely holding some? Looking through this special bicentennial issue of Rolling Stone which showcased 76 Richard Avedon portraits, full size, with no text, it's plain to see that each image has been carefully chosen to sit next to its partner and it's great to think about why they work so successfully as a pair, regardless of the subjects being, at that time, the most powerful people in America.

The concept of hiding and revealing type on the printed page and creating an art object is reminescent of Tom Philips' treated novel; the humument, in which he drew and painted over 360 pages of dense type. The results of which are brilliant and can be found reproduced online on this excellent website.
