Forever snapping when I’m abroad, I capture many moments. It’s always the most interesting though, when you get home, sort through everything, then notice parallels from other places of influence. Here’s a poster I shot in Amsterdam in 2008 (pre Pattern Pulp!) and the book cover design from Blanche McCrary Boyd‘s The Revolution of Little Girls. I love how connected they are. Can anyone translate the left?
A few months ago, Amsterdam-based artist, Louis Reith spun a web of admirers with his typographically inspired works on paper. His masterful merging of geometric shapes, abstract typography, vintage maps and old book pages is a reminder to all designers to take a step back from the computer every once in a while. In today’s world where so much art is digitally composed and intricately dense, the hand-rendered simplicity and obvious restraint makes Reith’s work immensely beautiful and refreshing. Little Paper Planes is presently offering four exclusive limited edition prints from the artist at a delightfully affordable price of $35 per print, with the whole set offered at $120. A lovely opportunity to get your hands on the work of a talented up and comer- take advantage!
