The Young Ones identity champions “Young,” embracing the spirit and irreverence often associated with youth. While most identities rely on a single type family, our visual language—our seemingly infinite typographic palette—celebrates the diversity of our audience. #Identity 2023 #YoungOnes student competition for @theoneclubforcreativity —> Call for Entries Open Now —> Case study —> Link in Bio —> More to come —> Tons of ❤️❤️❤️ and a very special 🙏 THANK YOU 🙏 to all the #typographers and #TypeFoundries that supported and contributed to the identity. @abcdinamo @JangsMullerTypeFoundry @grillitype @waxstudios @fun.weirdo @danielbrokstad @chichi.chao @rishabhgandhi @ecalmatd @emigrefonts #font #fontdesign #fontdesigner #typeface #identitydesign #brandidentity #type01 #branding 🎨@areaofpractice @kevinbrainard @lindseychiz

On the heels of an #insurrection — an attempted #coup in our nations capital by #MAGA supporters incited to commit violence by @realdonaldtrump ‘s 30,500+ lies—and baseless claims of #electionfraud. And… On the eve of the inauguration of 👏 #JoeBiden 👏 and our first #FemaleVicePresident #KamalaHarris 👏 the capital remains on #lockdown with unprecedented security measures—because words matter, the actions of our nation’s leaders matter. @itsnicethat reviewed the #zine @areaofpractice designed for and with @will_mebane Thank you 🙏 @jennysbrewer @aylaangelos for featuring—what we believe—is an important documentation of a dark stain in America’s history. Link in Bio Excerpt below... "Trump’s presidency began in 2017 and the years proceeding it were something of a whirlwind—to be polite. Rally after rally, soon the world would realise how great an impact this ex-business man was to have on his followers, followers who’d attend in great numbers and reel support of the new president’s dangerous ideologies. On the afternoon of December 8 that year, photographer William Mebane drove from Fair Hope, Alabama to document a Trump rally in Pensacola, Florida. “Earlier that week, I’d been on assignment to photograph a political rally for Roy Moore,” he tells It’s Nice That, noting how he was running in a special election against the Democrat Doug Jones, to fill the Senate seat that was vacated by then-US Attorney General Jeff Sessions. “I was not on assignment when I went to the rally. I decided to go because I wanted to see it for myself, and to photograph what happened at these gatherings; to hear what the president had to say, and to see who showed up to support him...” —Ayla Angelos @cybelegrandjean @kevinbrainard @vanriperarchives @abcdinamo @newspaperclub #trumprally #photography #documentary #documentaryphotography #typography #typographic poster #typographicdesign #zines #design #graphicdesign #books #poster #typeface #font #Prophet #newspaperclub #newspaper #newspapers

Thanks to @thedailyheller for the intelligent and thought-provoking review of the #zine @areaofpractice #designed for #photographer @will_mebane Thank you @thedailyheller @print_mag 🙏🙏🙏 Link in Bio "'Now that the election is decided, there must be a period of reflection and healing. That's where this publication fits in. The photojournalist William Mebane's 'Pensacola, FL. 12-8-2017' is a zine that documents the civil divisions he saw at a Trump rally in Pensacola a year after the 2016 election. 'I went to the rally because I wanted to see for myself what happened at these gatherings,' he writes in the foreword to this unbound collection of folded pages, 'to hear the messages and see those who showed up to support President Trump.' To his surprise he 'didn't expect to be demonized by the president, to fear for my personal safety, or to hear the most powerful man in the world attack the first amendment.'” —Steven Heller @cybelegrandjean @kevinbrainard @vanriperarchives @abcdinamo @newspaperclub #trumprally #photography #documentary #documentaryphotography #typography #typographicposter #typographicdesign #zines #design #graphicdesign #books #poster #typeface #font #Prophet #newspaperclub #newspaper #newspapers

William Mebane / 12-8 2017 On the eve of what I hope is the beginning of the end of Trump, I wanted to share a recent project, a #zine that @areaofpractice designed for @will_mebane In December of 2017, photographer William Mebane documented a #Trump rally in #Pensacola #Florida Personally moved by and fearful of what he’d seen and heard, William withheld the content for almost three years. This 64-page tabloid—designed to work as a #photobook and a collection of #posters—documents the event through images, quotes, and a short story by the filmmaker Tim Sutton. Sunday, September 13, 2020, “President Trump held his first indoor rally in nearly three months, ignoring Nevada’s social-distancing rules and drawer the ire of the state’s governor.” —WSJ Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak wrote about the President on Twitter on Sunday, “To put it bluntly: he didn’t have the guts to make tough choices—he left that to governors and states. Now he’s decided he doesn’t have to respect our state’s laws. As usual, he doesn’t believe the rules apply to him." @cybelegrandjean @kevinbrainard @vanriperarchives @abcdinamo @newspaperclub #trumprally #photography #documentary #documentaryphotography #typography #typographicposter #typographicdesign #zines #design #graphicdesign #books #poster #Prophet #newspaperclub #newspaper #newspaperstrips
