Typography is Sexy - Part 1
Lately I have been surfing around vi.sualize.us and last night I was totally inspired by some really sexy use of typography. Since there was so much to show, I have decided to break it up into a few different parts - so stay tuned for some more sexy type! If you have some great examples, shoot them my way and I will try my best to include them in part 2. Hopefully this will inspire you to use type in many different ways.
You can check out Part 2 here.

Phone Booth Gallery is an online gallery, so the show will be online with an option to be a part of an opening party in the beginning of July in Long Beach, California.
All forms of traditional media are accepted and encouraged for this juried show, just make it Tom Waits related! Maximum of one piece per artist, please.
The deadline is June 28th, so paint, sculpt, collage, spray, or click away and send the good people of Phone Booth your stuff. You may just be featured online next to Tom Waits. More at phoneboothgallery.com and myspace.com/phoneboothgallery" - Juxtapoz
Step Magazine interviews Jeremy Mende
| by Sean Adams |
LAST YEAR, I WAS ASKED BY ADOBE TO PRODUCE A SERIES OF PODCASTS ON THE SUBJECT OF DESIGN. WHAT I LEARNED WAS THAT LIGHTER SHIRTS MAKE YOU LOOK FAT ON CAMERA. I ALSO GAINED ACCESS TO TALENTED DESIGNERS I'D NEVER MET BEFORE, INCLUDING JEREMY MENDE. IT'S AN EASY TEMPTATION FOR DESIGNERS TO BEGIN TO SINK UNDER THE WEIGHT OF THEIR OWN SELF-PERCEIVED IMPORTANCE; THE CONCEPTUAL THINKING BEHIND A PROJECT CAN BECOME SO DENSE THAT AUDIENCE ACCESS IS PRECLUDED. MENDE HAS A STRONG COMMITMENT TO THE CONCEPTUAL ASPECTS OF HIS WORK, YET HIS TOUCH RETAINS LIGHTNESS ... NO EASY TASK. I CORNERED HIM AT AN AFTERNOON POOL PARTY—YES, IT IS L.A.—AT MY HOUSE AND, AMIDST THE SPLASHING AND SHOUTING CHILDREN, WE TALKED ABOUT HIS WORK AND VISION. SINCE MENDE IS FROM SAN FRANCISCO, HE NEVER DID VENTURE OUT FROM UNDER THE UMBRELLA.
