The Joy of Centered and Justified Classic Typography

It seems like an easy typographic mannerism, to just space out some classic serif typography in a centered arrangement, but it takes real devotion to achieve this kind of elegance and simplicity.

Various covers for The Best American Series by the Houghton Mifflin Company. A bigger image available at Carin’s web site.

VSA’s 2000 annual report for IBM remains one of the most striking publications in the realm of corporate communications and beyond. From the typography, to the photography, to the copywriting it was all simply outstanding storytelling. Was the cover intentionally too close for comfort to issue one of Timothy McSweeney’s Quarterly Concern? We’ll find out at the event.

Reliving the Past

Both Carin and VSA have a knack for breathing new life into visual tropes of graphic design history — sometimes it results in seemingly literal translations, while other times as new interpretations, but always interesting and appropriate.

Harley-Davidson Traveling Museum Posters

Posters by VSA for the Harley-Davidson Traveling Museum, which showcased memorabilia and classic motorcycles.

Book Covers

Two book covers by Carin: Ulysses is directly influenced by a Paul Renner poster (shown below), which drew a bit of negative criticism from Tibor Kalman. (This is a subject we’ll talk about at the event, part of it is explained here). The Sonnets of Orpheus is a lovely graphic ode to Art Nouveau.

Poster for an exhibition of work from the Bavarian Trade Schools held in Zurich.

OA’08: Dana Arnett • Carin Goldberg

The third event in the opposites attract series brings together Dana Arnett and Carin Goldberg, two designers with a characteristic flair for fusing sophisticated typography, arresting imagery and thoughtful concepts into imaginative projects — all with decidedly opposite results. as they share their work and talk about their background in a moderated discussion, we presume the differences and similarities will quickly be apparent.

Thursday, October 16, 2008
6:30-8:30pm
ADC Gallery
106 West 29th Street, NYC

To register for this event, please visit ADC.

Opposites Replace

Dana Arnett

Due to a scheduling conflict, for all the right reasons, Margo Chase will not be able to join us for the next event on October 16. Instead, after some prolific scrambling on our end, we are very excited to be welcoming Dana Arnett, who puts the A in VSA Partners, to join Carin Goldberg in our conversation.
