The Letter D.

ALJ / Word Art / 24.11.2011

While collaborating on various other projects, the copywriter Alan James asked The Letter D to assist in typesetting and specifying one of the pieces he was putting together, as part of an exhibition of his text-based artwork.

Referencing oval vanity mirrors, the diamond-etched lettering creates a bevel-edged effect reminiscent of traditional mirror signage.

Signs of Life’ opens at the Redland Art Gallery, from the 4th to the 29th of December.

SLQ / Book Spreads / 18.07.2010

The State Library of Queensland‘s book is now in the final stages of production. With the working title The ABC of SLQ, The Letter D photographed elements of the building’s architecture to form the 26 chapter intros——detailing each letter of the alphabet.

The book was developed as a ‘scrapbook’ of resources, illustrating the diversity of SLQ’s collection, as well as documenting Donovan Hill’s architectural journey – almost like a ‘how to design a library’ book.

KOB / Website / 19.09.2008

Following on from Kevin O’Brien Architects‘ identity face-lift, a content managed website has been launched, with three main sections outlined from the initial review.

A base RGB screen colour was used for each section, in keeping with the raw colour palette of CMYK ink used for the practice’s printed stationery.

CLK / Identity Refresh / 10.09.2008

Moving into the limelight prompted an identity tweak for the bold new bespoke tailors at The Cloakroom, along with their in-house ready to wear range – Pistols at Dawn.

As they had commenced their public life as a blog, we decided to simply evolve the developed aesthetic, tweaking the logotypes and symbols to reinforce the connection between the two separate yet related entities.
