2010 in review
Year in review
Projects
Throughout this year, I have had the opportunity to work on many successful projects. The following selection are those that were displayed on my website.
Below I have also included a slide-show featuring the logos so that they may be viewed individually. Rolling over the image will pause the slideshow.
Publications
Aside from my project work, I was fortunate also to have my work published in the following books this year :
Typography
This year I decided to implement a standard that, for each new project, I would develop a custom, hand-made, font (unless there was specific preference for an existing typeface) and the reaction to this has been excellent. In this industry, we constantly have to strive to be different from our competitors and I think that this simple additional element has enabled my work to reach a higher standard than last year.
I also released three free fonts (of which two where made using an iPad application) and I also created a commercial font family for eegoes.
You can download these free fonts at the links below :
I am also working on a couple of new fonts. These are still in development but will be ready for public release in 2011. They will be called +ype and Hinwil Pro therefore please watch the website for the details of release.
I am still taking on projects as the year comes to an end and some are close to being finalised so expect some new things from me in January.
One thing that I have not done this year is a lot of blog posts or articles, as I had to complete my National Service in the Swiss Army. Given the amount of font work I have been doing and interesting projects that are coming my way, I am set to post regular articles next year and hope that you will enjoy reading these as an incite into my processes and achievements.
So, to wrap up, I hope that you have had a fantastic 2010 and are looking forward to a successful and exciting year for design in 2011.
I want to reserve a special thanks to my clients and supporters.
