I’m late to this, a ton of sites have already featured Hampus Jageland work and for good reason. It’s excellent. Hard to think this kid is a recent graduate.

Quantum of Solace Hardback

Posted on November 14, 2008November 14, 2008 Posted in Books, Design, MerchTagged book, graphic design, hardcover, James Bond, printing2 Comments

Quantum of Solace: The Complete James Bond Short Stories is a stunning book designed by Angus Hyland and Fabian Herrmann of Pentagram that is a collection of Ian Fleming’s Bond short stories. Gorgeous.

Hyland created a cloth-covered hardback with cover imagery restricted to a silver foil-blocked image of Bond’s infamous Walther PPK (shown here with silencer). A subtle diamond pattern is debossed on to the boards, which combined with deep burgundy endpapers evokes the discerning elegance of Bond’s world. An embossed manila bellyband with typewritten cover information on the label evokes the official documents of the period.

I just received my copy of Bastardised by Bunch and what a gem it is. If you haven’t picked up a copy yet then what the hell are you waiting for? Some really great stuff in here. If you do have it and happen to turn to page 76 you’ll see my submission in all it’s glory. Honestly, it’s a real honor to be included with such talents as BB Saunders, Chris Hewitt, Craig Oldham, Darren Firth, David Corti, Michael Cina, Si Scott and many more.

Quality portfolio by this Barcelona based studio. I personally love the their stationery pictured above that is printed in phosphorescent ink and glows in the dark. Nice!

Sneak Peak of a New Typeface

I recently started working on a new typeface. I’m still in the early stages but I do like where it’s going with the curved edges and slightly condensed design. The plan is the do a full upper & lower case set in bold and regular with a large x-height for the lower case characters.

You can see a few more shots on my Flickr page. I’ll be updated this page as the work progresses.

I’m loving these stylish mugs by Vitamin featuring assorted hex patterns. Might have to pick up a set.
