Scott's Typographiquest

type geekery


Cruise around Europe & Japan to take pictures of signs - are you mental? Well yes, but it wasn't my original plan... It's like when a skateboarder looks at a streetscape as a series of potential tricks, a graphic designer looks at typography and how it fits into the environment - you can't help it.

Bali Goodness

type geekery


On my last trip to Candi Dasa, Bali, I returned lamenting the lack of love and customised care put into real estate signage in Melbourne. Wilson's efforts to sell his hotel attracted my interest.

Sri Artha Home Stay became a favourite during my walks into town - letters kicking about playfully in its 'sunset with ice' colour scheme, making the most of its presence before being further swallowed by the rising pavement.

And as for Sate, what can I say...
