Experimental Typography. 'The concept in this project is to transform music into type. All lyrics were on the outside and graphic elements became the inside experience of the music represented as a poster to be folded out, just as music folds out from the speakers. The inside text is a review of the music, and each graphical element is a representation of a certain sound or instrument from the music.'

Fart / Speed. Typography. Feb 2010.

http://www.karinapetersen.com/

Here is a little information about the Fart-project provided by Karina on my request:

—The project started with a friend of mine asking me, if I would design two spreads for an online-publication he was planning. Each artist got a word to work with/illustrate. I got the word FART which, additionally to its English meaning, has a second one in Danish: speed. This was my starting point, and from this theme I worked quite freely with shape, colours and texture.

—I see my work as two sided, I have a daytime job as a graphic designer, and I work with a very minimalistic graphic approach, but at the same time I do love to experiment. There is a giving interaction between the two; in the way they supplement each other. I see in my work, both a very strict minimalistic path, but also a much more artistic approach.

Karina Petersen, born in 1982 in Denmark, has recently graduated with a MA in graphic design from the Designskolen Kolding (2009). Her work has been published in ComputerArts Projects, Typeplayer, Playfull type, and in ROJO magazine.

Felix Auer (b.1986) is an austrian illustrator and graphic artist based in Vienna.

"I was searching a long time for my own technique. Since I started to work as an illustrator and graphic artist I was fascinated with the differences and possibilities of digital and traditional media. In my illustrations I like to play with the viewer. Actually my works are dealing with pretty dark subjects like death, sickness, isolation, depression and fear, but are concealed by bright and strong colors, representing our society where these subjects are not accepted but being pushed away."

2. Tatiana font. Typographic research.
3. Hommes/Femmes. 2nd prize at 'Students, all to Chaumont', 2008.

Speaking about the Hommes/Femmes poster (translation mistakes if any are my fault): "Instead of having an institutional message about the equality between men and women, I preferred to talk in graphics. These graphics shape the letters. The topic was too big and too open, and involved things that don't particularly interest me. It seemed too trite to speak of sex equality or conyugal violence. In the end I represented the real statistics. I love this type of aesthetics because it is in front of us without really being paid attention to."—http://spvz.net/

Mind Design is an independent graphic design studio based in East London. The studio has been founded by Holger Jacobs in 1998 after graduating from the Royal College of Art. "We believe in practical, applied and friendly design solutions. Our approach is design led, not marketing driven. We see content and form as equally important and belive that both are inseparable. Beside a passion for typography we are very interested in integral design solutions that combine corporate identity, print, web and interior design. It is important for us to work in close collaboration with clients and be involved in projects right from the start. We treat every project as a new challenge and never impose an already established graphic house style."

"I was given the project title How Far Would You Go" but had the freedom to create anything I wanted from that. I decided to use the opportunity to create something personal. I made the first Gone Too Far photo diary in 2008 and filled it with images and drawing to use as a visual reference of England. This year I made a second issue filled with Australian images. It's a good way to highlight all the cultural references I have collated over the years that I can now use in my design work."—From the artist's site.
