‘What’s Next?’ at KKOutlet

Entry by Miranda Foxx / June 29, 2012

It’s been a great week here at KKOutlet with live printing and workshops from our good friends Peckham Print Studio, Studio Mothership, Bolt Editions, Heretic, Holly Bagnall, Danielle Watt, Chris Pell and Marcroy.
It’s sad to say today is the last day, come down whilst you can to view and purchase the great prints created all week long. Thank you to everyone who’s been involved, all the designers who contributed and all the lovely people who took the time to hang out with us. We had fun and we hope you did too. Feature

I can’t stop wandering around Telegramme Studio’s website at the moment, this EP sleeve design for Portasound caught my eye and I though it would be a real shame not to share it with you all.

A great screen printed narrative piece based on the short story ‘Leaning From the Steep Slope’, instead of stand alone images, each square layers and incorporates stages of the story. Striking use of hand drawn elements and collage.

Repeated patterns and colourful detailed typography make up the body of work of Matt Lyon’s website. As great as they are, it’s this moody delicate drawing that I fell for.

In a world somewhat obsessed with high definition, glossy pages and monochrome, sometimes it’s nice to find a damn good lo-fi zine to get your teeth into like this one.

Penguin created this range as a sweet selection of some of the most innovative and pioneering books of our time and they’ve had the covers designed to reflect the content. Each series has been designed with it’s own style and colour scheme. If you ever need inspiration for type and layout, this is a great place to start.

I highly recommend you check out Rob Lowe’s solo show ‘Details’ at the Kemistry Gallery.

I have had a massive work-crush on Emily Hadden for a while now. The colours, the composition, the style, the presentation – are all top notch. She created a poster for one of our live shows and I would personally love to work with her on a collaborative project. I hope you like her work as much as I do, she is incredible.

These sassy moleskin books by Spanish artist Julien Denoyer are wonderfully charming and ever so simple. However as a 64 page book, even I would have trouble filling this edition with a list of appropriate names.

Poster Roast

Poster Roast

Entry by Miranda Foxx / June 9, 2012

I have a serious addiction to Poster Roast’s online shop of screen printed gig and tour posters. My latest investment was a naughty Melvins print from their 2008 tour. If you fancy seeing the prints in real life, keep an eye on the website for upcoming events. Alternatively the Black Heart pub in Camden hosts many of the metal genre screen prints on their walls, grab some beers and debate with your mates over which are the best.
