For fans of 1960s counterculture-leaning print design, Emergence magazine’s logo and masthead will likely conjure up a couple of reference points. In the context of a publication that “explores the threads connecting ecology, culture, and spirituality”, its use of typeface Windsor distinctly recalls the Whole Earth Catalog, a late 60s publication merging techie-style product reviews and utopian…

Sophie Tolhurst — Mon, 06 Nov 2023 17:10:29 +0000

“I think a map of one’s own practice, for an applied artist, is very helpful”, says set designer and artist Es Devlin.
