With some spare time over the New Year break we reviewed the mobile browsing experience of The Letter D’s website, maintaining all the functionality of the full desktop experience, slimmed down for iPhone.

As part of this edition, six creatives were asked to contribute throughout the magazine, with, amongst other items, an image of their own desktop, both in the studio and ‘other’.

We’re looking to seal all that came before this in a time capsule of sorts, and have added a few extra features to make it easier for those with small screens to navigate through the imagery, all via the arrow keys.

The Letter D’s ‘Flood Marker’ letterpress prints sold out at last night’s Queenslake exhibition, organised by The Hungry Workshop.

As a commemorative piece we thought we’d highlight the years the Brisbane River has made its presence felt, flowing under five (some only just) of its iconic bridges.

An emerging letterpress studio approached The Letter D to develop a small two-colour print, to sell as part of a fund-raising appeal for the recent Brisbane floods.

An exhibition will be held in the coming month to sell the pieces, with contributions from Rinzen, Inkahoots, Kevin Finn, and their own studio, The Hungry Workshop, to name a few.

More info on the project here, with a sneak peek of our piece on their press, above.

Dan Pike was asked to present his design process and ideas to the Queensland College of Art‘s second year Graphic Design students.

Using the opportunity to take them through the flexible identity for the local print manager Fine Print.

The studio will be closing for a brief hiatus, in April, as Dan gets used to being a Dad.

Constructed using the full range of ‘bricks’ available in FontStruct, Font Duplex is a typographic experiment in legibility – as we restricted each character to only two bricks.
