I finally got the Czech version of “Identity: The Story of Czech Graphic Design.” This incredible book offers a unique insight into the world of Czech graphic design and typography. Congratulations to @lindatypo@filipdesigniq@migregorini and everyone else involved in the @projektidentita on this monumental undertaking. I’m so honored to have one #bookcover one #magazinecover, and one #brandidentity piece in this monograph. English version is also available in the @projektidentita shop (linking their bio) Anyone interested in #czech #graphicdesign and its place in the European and the world context needs to get it. This is a once in a generation project and I’ll be spending my holidays with this beauty. And thank you @knihypaseka !
What do Václav Hrabě, @krisandrewsmall@pentagramdesign and @treehousebrewco have in common? Me reading the new issue of the @poetryfoundation #poetry magazine. Treehouse makes a great Pilsner, and Hrabě was born in Příbram, where I was in a hospital when I was little and broke my back building a fort with my cousin. Mind blown.
Congratulations to the graduating class of 26! @umass_art_ You guys are amazing artists. You actually have the ability to create things that never existed before. Don’t let the people who cannot create anything boss you around, they couldn’t exist without you! #art #education @umass
It is the attention to details that makes @jacksonandconnor Northampton’s Savile Row. Every contact with the brand supports that promise and commitment to quality. I designed their #logo and #brand identity 7 years ago and it makes me so happy to see how it thrives.
A #bookcover for the Thresholds of Existence by Jan Söffner. A question of what is real is no longer the no-brainer it once was.

✊Amazing! Three of my posters were selected for the @graphis_inc initiative #unmuted100 #designersforhumanity
UnMuted 100 is a select collection of the best posters and motion graphics that address the global challenges that face our world today, with regional wars, limits on personal freedom, authoritarian governments, environmental degradation, famine, the impact of artificial intelligence, and mass migration happening on a global scale. Designers around the world have raised their voices to acknowledge these critical issues.
You can see all selected posters graphis.com
Also, screw Nazis!

Ivan Chermayeff. Collages. Collages must have been such a refreshing refuge for the modernist masters. The messiness, freedom, and joy as an antidote to the often rigid systems, unyielding grids, and suffocating functionality of modernism. #ivanchermayeff @chermayeff_geismar_haviv
