Askul & SDL

ASKUL is an expanding Japanese mail-order company. Stockholm Design Lab wanted to distinguish Askul products in a clear and graphical way.

We Are The Friction is a book of illustration and short fiction created by 12 pairs of international writers and illustrators. It's the second book edited, designed and published by Sing Statistics, the collaborative concern of Jez Burrows and Lizzy Stewart.

The book paired writers with illustrators, both established and emerging in their disciplines. Each then produced new work inspired by the work of their partner: stories from illustrations, and illustrations from stories. The result is an erratic, eclectic collection of work that takes in space travel, Japanese deities, monster husbandry, and the Marx Brothers.

Borne by the passion for graphics, flavoured with the taste of vintage.The magazine shall be distributed for only one year, in 2009, in 8 issues. Each issue shall have two parts, one created by Marco Nicotra, the other by Giovanni Rizzo, the founders of Super8. The theme of every issue represents one of the 8 regular words, which, in Italian, are generated by coupling a letter from the alphabet with the word “otto”, i.e. 8 in Italian: B8 (Bang), C8 (Lovesick), D8 (Learned), F8 (I fuck), L8 (I fight), M8 (Motto), R8 (Broken), S8 (Under)

redesign for The Harvard Review

The new covers are printed on a nice, toothy uncoated stock, and the books are bound with printed endpapers that repeat the pattern and color of the issue number (circle) that wraps around the spine. Alex Camlin has outdone himself with this nice redesign for The Harvard Review.

Map of nyc

Here & There is a project by S&W exploring speculative projections of dense cities. These maps of Manhattan look uptown from 3rd and 7th, and downtown from 3rd and 35th. They're intended to be seen at those same places, putting the viewer simultaneously above the city and in it where she stands, both looking down and looking forward.

Mike Kus designing his slides

Clitotype 1.0

"In an age where boys learn about sex from internet pornography, I think that it is fundamental to educate and to inform on “real” sex. My work is ironical typographic play on dimensional relationships between type elements and anatomical sexual organs. Titles, leading and column width values have the full size dimensions of human genitalia. I discover that the physiological size of the clitoris extension is type size 36 to 80, and the erectile penis tissue extension goes from 480 to 790. I also identify the pleasure spots (female G-spot and male L-spot), the lubrification glands and their physiological description in relation to the practiced sexual mutilations."-Cristina Chiappini
Roses of Flesh Spines of Light project, which is designed, in part, to shed light on genital mutilation.
AND her humanitarian campaign poster for AIDOS (the Italian Association for Women), which advocates for freedom of choice and other issues affecting women in developing countries:
