Jazz Editorial

I dont think much need be said about this...it is simply stunning.
Winner of the TDC56 Certificate of Typographic Excellence by the Type Directors Club, for their newspaper sized publication for the 2009 Guimaraes Jazz event.

Their goal was to create a classic revival, with 'rigourous' typography and interesting details that would contrast with the energetic handmade poster graphics. This idea of contrast is clearly the magic touch. I have always wanted to create something ornamental, but fundamentally typography driven. However, finding the right moment and also an appropriate subject has been the problem.

Now however, through the negotiated briefs there is a chance to develop something special. This will be my most passionate brief, it will have to be perfect. My other briefs fulfil the needs of the course, this brief is for me. I just really want to do thus. But I need to come to a conclusion as to what the content will be. Where will the research begin and how will this lead to a full publications worth of content.

All to think about now. In fact, having just thought about it, what I need to do is find a cause which potentially needs a publication like this produced. Now I need to find them.
