An obsession in type continues Jul 03, 2009 at 12:13
After the success of last year's Some Type Of Wonderful typographic design initiative, Lifelounge is proud to announce its sequel and this year's 12 artists. For those of you that may have missed it last year, Lifelounge invited 12 of it's favourite artists and designers who deomonstrated excellence in the area of typographic design and illustration to respond to a brief that related to a designated month of the year. The artist's included the likes of AlexTrochut, Si Scott, Hellovon, ESPO, Niels SHOE Meulman and many more (there's more information about last year's STW here )Each artist brought their own style and approach to the brief making for an ecclectic mix of styles and design.

For this years installment we've decided to take the project one step further making it a completely international affair with design gurus from all over the world coming together all in he name of typographic design. This year there will also be exhibitions in both Melbourne and Sydney (details will be revealed soon).

The artists confirmed for this years Some Type Of Wonderful are:

JAN - Jonathan Zawada (AUS)
FEB - Mario Hugo (USA)
MAR - Luca Barcellona / Bean One (ITA)
APR - Maxwell Lord (RUS)
MAY - PMKFA (SWE)
JUN - Théo Gennitsakis (FRA)
JUL - Jessica Hische (USA)
AUG - Pablo Alfieri (ARG)
SEP - Sebastian Lester (UK)
OCT - Siggi Eggertsson (ICE)
NOV - Jiro Bevis (UK)
DEC - Gary Taxali (CAN)


As you can see, an amazing line up and is sure to be a killer collaboration. More information will be posted in the coming weeks. But in the meantime check out some sample of their genius to the right of this post. Stay tuned
