Rest in Peace Steve Jobs - The loss of a true Visionary...

Lost in Typography, Posted originally on Linkedin... Re: Steve Jobs, Very sad news and he was only 56! I bought my 1st Mac (iMac) back in the late 90's when Apple introduced the colours, mine was the purple version, I think this was the 2nd launch after they launched the Mezzanine Blue (in 98?) I wonder how this will affect the company in the long run? Typography I & II, I don't there will be anyone in this day and age who has not at some point in their lives or careers felt inspired to use this kit? Typography I & II, I believe we the Human Race have lost a true visionary!

Rest in Peace...

Part 3 Screen grabs Revised Design - First public installation at the Royal Exchange...


A few small amends to the original design posted yesterday, after further discussions with the RET, they felt it would be a good idea to knock back the type on the lower board. Not as much in your face so to speak. However the overall look of the graphics, the type and the strength of the look is in line with the overall branding of the 'Investigate theme' set out in the parent materials being created for the 'Resource Kit'.

Latest screen grabs of Photography for the Book...


The photography was undertaken at the Rylands earlier in the week, in the printing press and materials display area. I had the opportunity to take these prior to my meeting with Julianne Simpson (Curator Pioneers of Print) which has also yielded more supportive information for my Dissertation. I also found out that Julianne had prior to the Rylands had been a curator at The Plantin Moretus in Antwerp Belgium for just over 6 years, and also as part of her duties, she had been responsible for the Gutenberg exhibit.
