Erik Spiekermann - German Type Legend

Erik Spiekermann - Putting Back the Face into Typeface from Gestalten on Vimeo.

"Typographer, graphic designer and businessman Erik Spiekermann has created timeless, influential and, yes, Meta-physical work over the past three decades.

Next to founding MetaDesign and FontShop, the latter being the first ever digital distributor of fonts, and designing more instant classic typefaces than any other, he has been recognized as an outstanding expert internationally as a lecturer and professor.

Listen to the design genius talk about new visual languages, design processes, the analogies of music and typography, and why we need better client culture in our latest Gestalten.tv video and you will easily realize why. Before heading to new visionary pastures, the bike enthusiast will make a short stop to receive the German Design Lifetime Achievement Award 2011 in February."

I LOVE her work. That stuff is soo good. Visit her website HERE. I just wanted to share the little poster below, where she teaches type. It is hanging right behind my computer. Just as an inspiration.

I am back from a little study break. Exams for college are finally over and I can relax now. SOOO GOOD. Just found this and loved it immetiatelly. A map made with type, the citys and states names. So cool and a lot of work. How would that look with a map from Germany??

The print is 61 $, but I am much more interested and making my own type map.
