Baseline Rule of Visual Grammar #3: Images should be specific and meaningful, curated and chosen with purpose. In other words, not random! And never generic. @PrincetonUPress @DCrit @SVAMFADesign @UArts @UArts
Visual Grammar Baseline Rule No. 2: Images should enhance the reader's understanding of written content. @PrincetonUPress @DCrit @UArts @SVAMFADesign bit.ly/4348tr2
What is Visual Grammar, anyhow? Baseline Rule No. 1: Images in any sort of publication must inform, delight, and intrigue the viewer. @PrincetonUPress @DCrit @UArts @SVAMFADesign
Here is an interview for an Australian radio station in which I shamelessly plug my book, The Elements of Visual Grammar, and also talk about gentrification, house numbers, and typefaces. @UArts @PrincetonUPress ab.co/49durtY
My book The Elements of Visual Grammar is out! It offers a flexible set of principles and best practices for selecting images and using them in the most persuasive way. Like a boss, in fact. @PrincetonUPress @UArts @SVAMFADesign @DCrit bit.ly/4buKRjo
My book is now available on Amazon for pre-order! It's for anybody who uses images and wants to learn more about how to pair them with text for maximum impact. With over 200 visual examples from all areas of art and design. Pub date 2/6/24. bit.ly/44K86Bm
Hey Designers, whether you’re seasoned or fresh out of the box—Take a look at the just-published Graphic Language of Neville Brody 3, which I had the pleasure of reviewing for @printmag. bit.ly/44eFXTs
In which I provide design-y thoughts on the significance of Neutraface house numbers and gentrification. A good read by @fffffrida in the Guardian. @houseindustries @commercialtype @greggazdowicz @UArts @GuardianUS bit.ly/3McNEl5
NEW EVENT! Proposal to Publication: The Making of “The Elements of Visual Grammar”! Join @AngelaRiechers & @MattRohal as they discuss the development of her upcoming book “The Elements of Visual Grammar” (2024). Join us Tuesday, April 11 6-7:30 PM! eventbrite.com/e/proposal-to-…
It's UArts Day of Giving! Our students work full 40 hours weeks bartending, waitressing, parking cars, and toting boxes in the Amazon warehouse to pay for their educations. Please lend a hand and donate to this fund! They deserve it. givecampus.com/schools/Univer…
“The Colours of Africa… is based upon the idea of a kaleidoscope… In it’s non-linear, non-hierarchical structure, no one comes first or last.” Read the latest from @AngelaRiechers for @printmag here: printmag.com/fine-art/kalei… @designindaba @googlearts @NoelPretorius
Read up on this fantastic project, a team effort from @noel_pretorius, @designindaba, @googleartsandculture, and 60 different creatives from every country in Africa (some countries doubled up!). bit.ly/40yzTDH
What if letterforms had extra serifs in unusual places? A look at letters vs. ornaments, and how some typefaces blur the line. @AIGAeyeondesign @ViolaineJeremy @erikvanblokland @olgaumpeleva @ZuzanaLicko @pedroleal @TheFoundryTypes @MuirMcNeil ow.ly/WPRI50KbFgf
If you can’t find a well-known female type designer of the early to mid-20th century to celebrate…why not make one up? These students did a bang-up job. @AIGAeyeondesign ow.ly/5Wk350K4FZU
Imagining letterforms touched by light and shadow is a great idea—take a look at Exposure from @205tf . #TypeTuesday @AIGAeyeondesign ow.ly/zqzw50JrV51
Monospaced typefaces are everywhere lately, but why are these relics of the typewriter era and workhorses of today’s coders having a design moment? #TypeTuesday @AIGAeyeondesign ow.ly/3CXh50J4ISf
In the market for a superstylish variable Devanagari typeface? Look no further! The good folks @motaitalic have it covered. #TypeTuesday @AIGAeyeondesign ow.ly/uApZ50IMJGg
I really love typefaces that reference the past without feeling nostalgic or imitative, so I'm a huge fan of this one inspired by old typography from Madrid's flea market. #TypeTuesday @AIGAeyeondesign @sudtipos @alepaul ow.ly/4Efz50IsrCw
Ask twelve independent type designers what it's like running your own foundry, sit back and enjoy the ride. @AIGAeyeondesign @frerejones @samarskaya @abcdinamo @SuperiorType @TypeTogether @commercialtype @boldmonday ow.ly/XLcL50I1qQZ
Take a look at my typeface, it's not the only one I got. Super Tramp from @vividehning aims to reflect human diversity via quirky letterforms. #TypeTuesday @AIGAeyeondesign ow.ly/Vbch50HQVp0

"Hey! Are you still available for that project we spoke about weeks ago and never got back to you on...?" No. No I'm not.
No, I did not make a nice Instagram post saying ‘vote’ and post it to my 99.5% liberal-arts-based following. (I did make one for a friend’s account though). But if an 800x800px piece of typography is why you’re voting this year then I don’t know where we are societally.
