Re: Typography work by Hanif Kureshi
i really liked the execution of "work is worship" using basic pencil body color.
i have seen the same style done by stefan sagmeister using bananas.
best is the using of maggie inspired font.

Re: Typography work by Hanif Kureshi
True true..yaa but thats how the inspiration phenomenon seems to work right..you take away the essence but not the whole thing..(thats why is called inspiration and not copy)

Re: Typography work by Hanif Kureshi
and the maggi is real inspiration which by looking makes you think that exploration is the key in type design..like thats why people doing itching on wood and stone could come up with serif..which now is a distinction in typography..
