Minim Font, Typographic Experiment.

It’s always hard for me to describe my projects, i see them as obvious, simple, normal.    

Minim Font, is a personal project, it’s an exercise of synthesis, concentration, form. The idea was to see how far I can go in… what, where and how much elements of a letter can I remove, and still maintaining its iconic meaning/value. By removing elements, I create new lines, new space, new form, Gestalt. It’s an entire font so some rules where necessary, in order to create a coordinated font. That was achieved with a modular method of creating the letters. For example the letter M, it’s the same module, repeated three times. There are some exceptions of course. Some letters where easy, some, much more difficult.         
The name, Minim, is minimal in its own way. Five letters, yet only 3 used. It starts and ends in the same way.
 

Simple yet complicated, less but better...

Oldboy by Spike Lee Movie Posters

Below are four key art explorations I was commissioned to create for Spike Lee's new film Oldboy. I was never compensated for my work and now they are being used to promote the film. To read my story and help me reach Spike Lee please check out this link. It's not right how designers and artists are treated and Spike deserves to know the truth about this.

 

Thanks

Juan Luis

Design For Web Developers
Colour And Layout For The Artistically Overwhelmed
Introduction
This book is a collection consists of 17 chapters each of which originally formed an individual article on
DMXzone. Linda started out by writing a 12 article series but on finishing that, we realised the insight Linda
brought to web design and developed the theme.
In this book Linda firstly introduces the concepts of the elements and principles of design, and then looks at
each of these aspects in detail, using real websites to provide good (and occasionally bad) examples of the
points she's making. By constantly referring to actual websites Linda manages to show how theoretical
considerations make practical sense.
In chapters 12 and 13 Linda brings together the points and uses our new understanding to appreciate the
care and skill that has gone into some websites. By walking us through a detailed deconstruction of several
top websites our analytical skills are improved and the earlier teaching points are reinforced.
The collection is rounded out by several chapters that dig deeper into the subject of typography and lastly a
chapter on appreciating different approaches to navigation.
Throughout Linda has provided numerous references and suggestions for further reading.
