Zim & Zou is a French graphic design studio based in Nancy (France). Composed of Lucie Thomas and Thibault Zimmermann who studied graphic design, they’re now working together to offer their services. The studio proposes a contemporary approach of design thanks to a mix of different fields such as paper sculpture, installation, graphic design, illustration, web design, etc. This typography series is a prime example of the mixture of mediums often found in Zim and Zou’s work. These letterforms are beautifully crafted using woven lines composed in geometric patterns.

Mekkanika Typography

Designer: Riccardo Sabatini

Mekkanika is a typeface inspired by old mechanics technical drawings, the steampunk visual world, and modern machinery, mixed and merged all together to form letters completely made by these elements, creating a mechanical look like typeface. Intricate and complex, these pieces are worth exploring for more than just a few moments. Outside of the characters themselves, the surrounding layouts, particularly in the posters, are unique and inspiring with beautiful color choices and elements such as shadows and noise. Combined with the typography, these final pieces are worth admiring in more than one way.

I’ve recently been quite busy working on a video editing interface. It’s based around the familiar concept of clipping video footage in order to showcase, commentate, and package video into useful pieces that are to be used specifically in sports games. Without getting too into detail, as it’s still early in the process, I thought I’d share a few small shots of what it’s beginning to look like.
