Typophiles

Typography can accent a project or make the entire project. It makes our job much easier that there are creatives out there that do nothing but create great type. There’s always a king of the hill, and our personal favorite is Hoefler & Frere–Jones. If you’re a designer you probably are familiar. If not, please take a look and see what great typography can be. Their site is full of type in context. Some of our favorites are below!

The Writing (and Kick-Ass Artwork) on the Wall

We make the best out of every project, although some are decidedly better than others. Posters are usually the cool kids of the group. We look up to companies like Aesthetic Apparatus for making great wall art with a hands on approach. Oh, and because they go to the equivalent of a graphic fun-factory everyday for work. Check out their video on their “scream printing” techniques also.

Negative is a Positive

Logos can stand out for many reasons. Some of our favorite are when they make use of negative space. Here are 35 Logos brilliantly using Negative Space.

Please take a look around. We created this blog for several reasons:

1) We want to let you know about us, Hothead Creative, and what’s going on with us currently. These posts are categorized as Hothead Creative News.

2) We want to inform clients, potential and current, on things that may make the design process easier for you. Whether an informative article from AIGA or an article we write, we hope look around and are helped by what you find! These posts will be categorized as For Clients.

3) For other designers we wanted to showcase things that inspire us. From Illustration to Typography. Fine Art to Architecture. There’s no requisites for this category. These posts are categorized as For Inspiration.

4) Lastly, if we find something so humorous it deserves sharing, it’ll be on here. (Mostly tasteful.) These posts will be categorized as Humorous.

We hope you look around and are informed, inspired and amused.
