Gibson: For students

‘For less than the price of a design textbook, a student can now have a sturdy and contemporary humanist sans serif family that fits pretty much any design application, and will remain useful long after academic studies and well into a professional career in design.’

Gibson is a humanist sans serif honoring designer John Gibson, designed by Rod McDonald and digitized by Patrick Griffin and Kevin King.

And it’s available at student pricing: Eight complete fonts for $48 (that comes out to six bucks a font). With revenues benefiting The Society of Graphic Designers of Canada (GDC).

Shameless

‘Our campaign is called ‘Shameless’ and is shot by the renowned photographer Carli Hermès. In our opinion the photographs of the campaign are a well-balanced mix of style, humour and sex, the essence of fashion!’

Last year, Dutch retailer Suit Supply’s photography at a London Westfield Center opened a few eyes and raised some ire.

NYC store opens this month. Not sure if they’re going to include body paint for all the nakkid customers.
