Iconic iconography

Our talent in the spotlight this week, Brassai, is one of those few people whose work is full of character – fresh and unusual. His line work is fantastic. It is very clean and only enhanced by his iconic color selection and palette. If typography is an art that clarifies yet disguises the meanings of a text at the same time, then Brassai must know more than a thing or two about it. The britto cross-hatching style, flat shadow colors and cubic strokes found in his work show that this artist is a force to reckon with.

Based in Transylvania (Romania), Szende works exclusively on logo, print and web design. His work speaks for itself and we are really excited and looking forward to see more great stuff from him.

Branding MOOC starting this month

Wolff Olins behind massive open online course (MOOC) on branding

One of the most reputable branding agencies in the world, Wolff Olins, is sharing some of their branding knowledge and experience in a MOOC (massive open online course) entitled "The secret power of brands", which you can enroll for free at FutureLearn, a British online learning platform. The course starts on February 24, and it will run for six weeks, at a 3 hour per week pace. Robert Jones is the lead instructor. No academic requirement is required, but we feel it's an opportunity for junior to mid-level Marketing executives and agency account managers and creatives who want to up their skills, techniques and vocabulary on branding.
