My dissertation, titled “American Hand Lettering”. It consists of two pieces: a book and a poster. The book briefly summarizes the history of commercial hand lettering, and questions why we are still drawing type by hand. I interviewed, amongst others, Ed Fella and Steven Heller. The poster focuses on my own incentives for drawing type by hand, and works as my participation in the ongoing conversation on the topic. All the headlines, exerts, titles etc. are entirely done by hand.

A series of fictive exhibition-posters I did at Central Saint Martins right before Christmas. The college has a stunning collection of material collected originally by staff, such as pages of early manuscripts, early printed books and much more. We were given the task to design 3 poster fronts, and 1 poster back - based on our favorite artifact.

“Fractures From Anxiety”, is an un-published book by Marcus Bastel. The idea was a single falling leaf in autumn colors, complimented by simple and clean typography, to reflect the feel of the short and rather sad stories.
