ARCHIZOOM ASSOCIATI

Around 1966, settle in one of my favorite cities, Florence Italy, a  group of students named Andrea Branzi, Massimo Morozzi, Gilberto Corretti and Paolo Deganelo -in 1968 two more members, the Bartolines joined the group.- They had just finished architectural school but at the time, there was a lack of work and a general stagnation of the architecture profession.  Also these years in Italy were marked by an economic downturn, housing shortages, and governmental fumbling.

This architects came together to form groups of design vigilantes known as the “Italian radicals” that their work critiqued modernism and promote consumerist style-driven societies.

Sotsass introduced Archizoom to Poltronova. These produced a series of projects in design, architecture and urban visions, “they inspired many young architects to reassess the intellectual input of their personal creativity while denying the technological input in open criticism of consumerist society.” (Raimondi, G., 1990)

Archizoom came to prominence through an anti-consumerist exhibitions named “superarchitecture” which consists in a pop style in architectural and design development. They broke the conception of traditional good design by applying irony in the creation of kitschy gazebos and environments that undertook the critical destruction of functionalist heritage and the spatial concept of modern movement.

They created the “Superonda” sofa launch in 1966 that consists on a sinusoidal line cut from a polyurethane foam block  and covered in shiny leatherette. They come in white, red or black colours. This was one of the first sofa without an ordinary frame. Super onda was designed to challenge the middle class restraint.

“Like all the objects designed by Archizoom, it aims to inspire creativity and imagination (...) it effectively shown a manifesto of italian radical design by its modular character and lightness that allow its usage to be changed at will; it can be a bed, a sofa or a chaise longue.” (Centrostudiopoltranova, n.d)

Archizoom in 1967 created the “Safari” sofa, consisting of a fiberglass structure with a seat and back of polyurethane, upholstered in fake leopard skin fabric. Its modularity allows it to be joined  as a sofa or an armchair.

This sofa refers to the kitsch design and Pop Art. Its modular format provides a new domestic landscape that stimulates creativity and individual imagination.

The safari sofa and the superonda were furniture that demonstrated an uncontrolled eclecticism. “These objects are based on their essence as image and status objects rather than as objects, and were born in controversy with the fashion of super-padded furniture, symbols of well-being, opulence, distinction and good taste.” (White, R & Donohue, D., 2013)

In 1967 they came up with the “Dream bed” “that give life to hybrid and ironic environments with strong citations from kitsch and Islamic or oriental patterns, with the aim to spoil the optimistic vision of bourgeois progress.” (White, R & Donohue, D., 2013)

Archizoom culminates with the anti-design movement in 1969 "No-Stop-City," one of the most mysterious and radical visions of the future cities, an ironic urban plan with a highly artificial environment consisting in no borders, artificially illumination and air-conditioned that takes modernist ideology to an extreme. In order to make it popular and to get people feel attracted, Archizoom created multifunctional furniture and clothing for the inhabitants.

By the end of their activity, around 1974 Archizoom achieved an all-embracing creation, reaching from object to clothing, from furniture design to large scale urban proposals; a heritage transpiring the passionate ideals of a generation believing in a humanity liberated of the constraints of architecture, fighting for alternative cultural concepts, hoping for a nonconformist lifestyle and total freedom.

Project 1 Planning: Grids

As seen, in the screenshots below, I chose to stick to my three original choices of typefaces Gill sans, BaroqueTextJF, Mason Sans OT. I also wanted to retain the black background  for my poster as it gives it a more dramatic look.

1) 3 column grid

For my first design I wanted to push my limits and just play around with all the elements of my poster, by rotating the title to a different angle than a straight 90 degree angle, positioning the link vertically on the side of the poster to show more variety and contrast in design.

2) 5 column grid

For this I I flipped it and made it more structured and designed. Moreover, I placed everything in such a way that there’s a lot of breathing space for the reader, hence, there’s a sense of neatness, organization and hierarchy. Thirdly, I added in some additional text for the poster so that there’s some information on what the play is basically about.

In this design there’s a larger sense of contrast and breathing space. The content here is laid out more towards the bottom of the poster rather than the centre. This makes it more interesting to look at. 

3) 5x7 Modular Grid

In these last two designs I decided that it would be better to incorporate the little synopsis of the play to give our viewers some information as what it is all about. 

4. 8x10 Modular Grid

This was a bit challenging however, it gave me the opportunity to explore my own creativity skills! Hence, after experimenting with a variety of designs, placements, alignments and grids I came to the conclusion that I would use a 5x7 grid for my poster document.

Hence, I chose this as my Final grid and design for this play’s poster! I felt this was the more dominant design as it clean, clear and straightforward. This poster easily draws the viewer in by the bold title and then to the synopsis of the play and the timing and so on. Therefore, there's a sense of hierarchy and structure. It’s readable and legible. Even though BaroqueTextJF may be a dramatic typeface, its easy to read while being interesting enough to draw in the audience. Moreover, the design incorporates an even amount of white space / breathing space which avoids overcrowding .

Soundrs: Ben Eyes

Welcome to our new Friday feature: #producer #interviews The focus lies on #workflow & #inspiration, in order to provide a way to both gain insight about #music #production and spotlight ambitious #audio #producers. If you want to get featured, send a message here on #tumblr or an email to soundrooms@icloud.com. The questions will remain largely the same. Now let’s get the ball rolling with our first of many Soundrs! Indulge.

Ben Eyes is a sound engineer, composer and live performance artist based in Leeds, UK. He makes electronic music as Quip https://soundcloud.com/quip and is one half of percussion and electronics duo STOCKER/EYES https://stockereyes.wordpress.com/ 

• What are your inspiration sources?

Sometimes field recordings, sometimes instruments I find new corners of gear I haven't explored. I am a bit of a gear hoarder, but old 80/90s stuff as opposed to new shiny things. I love the Kurzweil K2000 its full of 80s/90s sounds but then you program it and get something contemporary, its Max MSP in hardware. I like to explore timbres and rhythms together so that might be having a drum pattern distorted in a cheap fx pedal or using delay to create new rhythms. I am a sucker for the Roland 707 as my main drum machine but the sound of it gets twisted and messed up. I find the grooves I create with the old drum machines feel more planted and make me want to dance, if that’s what’s needed.

• Tell us something about your workflow.

It is sort of split up into 3 really, I am really lucky in that I have a large room in my little (detached) house, I live in the middle of nowhere so I don't disturb anyone. I have a guitar corner with all my effects and amps setup. Then a keyboard stand with all my drums and synths near to hand - I stand up at this and get grooves and patterns down using hardware. Then a computer and mixer next to each other. I have a bunch of synths on my computer table too. I love tabletop synths so you can just sit and noodle. I tend to get something going on with a couple of synths and a drum machine. Increasingly its a small euro rack modular that i have been building. Everything is synced together and clocked from the 707, but I do some weird things with syncing - I get a 606 to do irregular clock from the tom outputs - this provides sync for the modular and a Korg electribe, which I still use alot and have a load of sample banks for it on SD cards, it makes some messed up horrible sounds and also some very punchy drums. This gets the juices flowing. I will record the jam into Ableton then start chopping or adding stuff. I like to use a mixture of analogue and digital. Posh and poor. So I might use the Pro One with a Casio keyboard but through a decent effects pedal. I think having lots of different sources in a track helps to make the sounds interesting. I started out with nothing, a four track and a delay pedal as a kid. Then a computer a bit later. I ran Rebirth and Cubasis, putting everything together in a sequencer. So having this studio is a complete luxury, a dream really. I managed to get this studio together by working my arse off and getting bits second hand every now and then. I am quite strict about not buying new stuff, there is too much gear in the world so I try and get a bargain now and then. I am a sound engineer by trade so I get offered kit quite a bit. The internet has helped also. My room is pretty full now though so its just a question of me getting time in here to work. I have a couple of different monitor options and a sub which is great. To be honest I keep things really simple. The main thing I guess is I use hardware almost 100% now. Some software compression and EQ but its all sounds from boxes, guitars or my mouth.

• How would creative rituals benefit your workflow?

Well I used to smoke a bit and have a drink to get in the zone, which I have stopped now. I just drink tea. Have a meal with my girlfriend and then get into a flow. I like to loop weird things I might have recorded in my job or just play with a machine until something comes out. Rituals are really important. I cycle a lot and love mountain biking. Also just playing the guitar and using acoustic instruments helps. I have a tonne of guitars and little stringed things. Acoustic instruments are ritualistic, they are the maddest things really. The more I think about a guitar the more it drives me to create something with it.

• How do you get in the zone?

Just relaxing, not thinking too much. I do quite a bit of music to spec, and also study at the moment for PhD in Composition at the University of York. This means I have to switch off really when making "my music". I just use music to relax often. As a way to create something that might be heard somewhere. I gig less now and don't release music much so its more of thing for myself and occasionally others.

• How do you start a track?

Sometimes I setup a load of gear and just go for it. If I have a load of tracks to do for a record I just get three or four boxes going together, maybe drums and two synths then hammer out a load of improvisations. I like to work quite fast so I will stay in this mode for a while. I don't use a pool of samples so every time I start a track I try and record new stuff. Thats probably crazy but it keeps things fresh and I always find out new things. I might have one or two loops from my recorder or phone but usually every things done in the studio.

• Do you have a special DAW template?

No I am not really into that. I have fave effects settings on hardware. Everything runs through a desk in the studio so I just patch in whatever I want and go. It takes 1 second to add a channel and assign an input. I use my whole studio like a template really. So certain FX for certain instruments. Then when I get bored I repatch. I have two patch bays pretty much full so they get used a bit.

• What do you put on the master channel?

Nothing until the end then its an SSL bus compressor or the Fab Filter compressor and a limiter.  Maybe a tiny EQ but nothing crazy, I like to hear the dynamics till the very bitter end. Luckily my room is flatish so I can work quite confidently in there.

• How do you arrange and finish a track?

Walk away and come back the next day, then keep snipping. I used to be terrible at editing and getting rid of things but now I am quite ruthless. Its funny how you change over the years. I'll listen to things and think fuck thats terrible it has to go. Come in the next day and get rid. I think thats part of being much more sober now when I make music and more of an idea of what I want. Quite often I have the arrangement in my head so I just snip away. I do automation by mouse and sometimes enter some fx with a MIDI controller. But usually my tracks aren't huge so its quite a simple process.

• How do you deal with unfinished projects?

Every few months I might have a train ride or a hard disk sort. I will go through old stuff and highlight them and try and finish them. I have an album I have just finished that was made like this. Just going back to old stuff until it was finished. I'm really happy with it should be out soon as I am mastering it currently.

• How do you store and organize your projects?

Hard drives - I don't tend to store things on the local disk. Then back up the disks, then back up those. Then the cloud too. Mixes get sent there. I am quite good at backing stuff up at the moment.

• How do you take care of studio ergonomics?

Have separate places in the studio to do stuff, guitar and bass corner then a drum machine/synth section then my computer/desktop synths and mixer. Everything's quite divided up. I love my desk at the moment - it has all the desk top synths and volcas and the mac, so I can just record a groove from synth / drum machine world then sit down and add a nice synth, the TG-33 gets used or an old Novation Nova and edit.

• Tell us something about your daily routine, how is your day structured, how do you make room for creativity?

I work a lot either at the University where I look after the studios and do teching for concerts and I work freelance mixing for bands such as Wrangler, who are quite a heavy live electro band. They tour a bit so I go away a lot. I have been getting into iPads for sketches. I have an albums worth of stuff done on it. Just need to mix it. So yeah I watch and listen to others a lot - recording or mixing live and in a way you get ideas this way for your own stuff. Always learn even when its other peoples work.

• Share a quick producing tip.

High pass filter everything.

Try and make space for everything in the mix by filtering. Don't boost too much.

Don't worry about all the gear. Just get the idea down and it will go from there.

• Share a link to an interesting website (doesn’t have to be music related).

I'm reading this at the moment. I love stories of creative friction, fights between creative people are always interesting because people really feel this stuff. Also I am a member of an institution and I see my own politics and watch the institutional bullshit from a distance. I am lucky enough to have worked at EMS and it's a great place. This is quite eye opening if you are into art politics.

• List ten sounds you are hearing right this moment : )

I am recording a band called Roller Trio. Jazz electronics. So I am hearing reverse guitar, bass, sax, acoustic and real drums, the hiss of the mixer, 808 samples and occasional pop of an old sound card ;-)

Typography tutorials and best practices

Typography forms a large part of any designer’s learning curve.

Thanks to the internet all available information is at your fingertips.

There are a lot of tutorials available that are easy to follow and relevant to learning typography skills. Learning from these tutorials can make almost any student to produce high quality pieces of typographical art.

Whatever your field of expertise is, the skill of typeface design is a challenge.

The tutorials here represent an easy and enjoyable way to use and improve your typographical skills.

Below you will see that the tutorials are split in four categories: Things that you should read first (the basics of typography), web typography, Photoshop typography tutorials and Illustrator typography tutorials.

You need this before anything else

Making Sense Of Type Classification

Everyone knows their serifs and sans, slabs and scripts, but most classifications go much deeper than that. Type classification, while helpful, is often convoluted, confusing and even controversial.

This article, distilling some of the complexities into a more understandable format, lands somewhere in the middle between the basics and genuine type nerdery — the perfect level for a practicing designer.

The Basics of Type

Typography could be considered the most important part of any design. It’s definitely among the most important elements of any design project. And yet it’s often the part of a design that’s left for last, or barely considered at all.

Designers are often intimidated by typography, which can result in bland typographical design or a designer always using one or two “reliable” typefaces in their designs.

Paragraphs and Special Characters

Body copy makes up the majority of many websites. Headlines and other bits of typography are often considered more fun to design, or more artistic, but without a good design for your body copy, your overall project will suffer.

Principles for Combining Typefaces

When combining typefaces, there are a couple of important principles you’ll need to keep in mind, namely contrast and mood. Effectively combining typefaces is a skill best learned through practice, and trial-and-error. Once you’ve mastered the principles covered here, you’ll have the tools you need to try out combinations while making educated guesses about what will and won’t work together.

Pulling It All Together

In this article, there are guidelines for combining fonts for paragraphs and headlines, as well as for other common type elements, like pull quotes and by-lines.

Font creation has become incredibly popular in recent times and has become more accessible to those who wish to get involved with the creation process. This is thanks to a number of font creation programs which are now available across many desktop computer systems.

So you want to create a font. Part 1

So you’re a brilliant designer, a master calligrapher, and you’ve learned all about serifs, side-bearings, and kerning. Now you want to create your own font.

So you want to create a font. Part 2

The sheer number of fonts out there is a testament to the fact that there are nearly an infinitude of creative choices that can be made when designing a font.

Understanding The Difference Between Type And Lettering

Unfortunately, as with any popularity surge, there have come with it a lot of misunderstandings of some of the terms and concepts that we use. This article will help you gain a clearer understanding of what typography is and isn’t, and why.

Font hinting

Hinting, or screen optimising, is the process by which TrueType or PostScript fonts are adjusted for maximum readability on computer monitors. This text compares different ways of hinting (black & white, grey-scale, ClearType, DirectWrite), and explains the behaviour of fonts under different rasterisers.

Four techniques for combining fonts

Is there a way to know what fonts will work together? Building a palette is an intuitive process, but expanding a typographic duet to three, four, or even five voices can be daunting. Here are four tips for navigating the typographic ocean, all built around H&FJ’s Highly Scientific First Principle of Combining Fonts: keep one thing consistent, and let one thing vary.

Beginners Guide to OpenType

OpenType (OT) is a cross-platform type format that includes expert layout features to provide richer linguistic support and advanced typographic control. Using OT technology you can substitute your characters for different glyphs1 using many different methods; Ligatures, Small Caps, Oldstyle Figures, Fractions, Superscript/Subscript, Ordinals, Alternates, Titling Characters and many more.

Making Geometric Type Work

For graphic designers beginning to experiment in type design, a geometric or modular typeface is a natural starting point. Illustrator and other programs offer a simple collection of elements such as circles, squares, and triangles which can be combined to create a passable alphabet.

This is the same route the author took when dissatisfied with the limits of commercial fonts at the time. Ian twisted and distorted each character to fit into a few simple, incredibly strict rules of construction. Invariably this produced a wide range of exotic letterforms, some more legible that others.

Web typography

A guide to Web typography

Typography for the Web has come a long way since Tim Berners-Lee flipped the switch in 1991. Back in the days of IE 1.0, good web typography was something of an oxymoron. Today things are different. Not only do we have browsers that support images (gasp!), but we have the opportunity to make our web pages come to life through great typography.

Avoiding Faux Weights And Styles With Google Web Fonts

If you’re using Google Web Fonts on your websites, then there’s a very good chance that 1 in 5 visitors are seeing faux bold and italic versions of your fonts — even if you correctly selected and used all of the weights and styles.

That’s because the implementation method recommended by Google Web Fonts doesn’t work with Internet Explorer 7 or 8.

Legibility And Readability – Principles That Shouldn’t Be Ignored When Designing

Readability is an important aspect of web design usability and that is not a secret.
