As some of you know I’m learning Japanese for quite some time now and while I started to experiment with a new method to learn Kanji by J.W. Heisig I felt the need to just have some fun and experiment with the type, characters and minimalism.
As a great admirer of Japanese aesthetics, I recently received a new book by Taiwanese designer Wang Zhi-Hong called “The Thirteen People Who Built the Graphic Culture of Contemporary Japan” or 建構視覺文化的13人. To be honest, I’m blown away by how beautiful the packaging and cover of the book is!
During 2 weeks I enjoy the digital nomad life in Vienna with Pia. We work here for our clients from co-working spaces and cafés and visit all the great places the city has to offer in our free time.
As some already know, I’ve been learning Japanese for a while now and because I’ve fallen so in love with the language, its typography and design as a whole, I’m of course trying to experiment as much as possible with the newly learned kanji, hiragana and katana characters! ツ
Dreaming Friends is a small personal series of posters in which I visually explore the theme of 漢字 (Japanese kanji).
The Portuguese type foundry Milieu Grotesque has featured my branding, which was realized with their font “Maison Neue”, on their website. Obrigada!
