James Rogers
James Rogers studies graphic design at the Hull School of art and Design in Hull, UK. Electronic circuits inspired him in the design of Circuit (2012). But more than his typefaces, I like the sarcasm and humour in his designs. For example, he created a hilarious set of postage stamps in 2012 commemorating Charles Darwin and writes: I created these stamps for the RSA competition based on the theme of British Firsts. The idea behind these was that Charles Darwin was the first to theorise Evolution. I used the well known image of the stages of evolution and created my own characters and set them in front of 10 downing street to make them look more British. This was also a joke about how everyone who has lived in 10 Downing Street are all monkeys and are taking orders from a higher authority. |
