- post morning coffee - less grumpy and cynical now:
Adrian Frutiger was 29 when he designed Univers.
Maybe I'm getting old, but it seems so many achieve big things before they're 30. And there's lots of great design out there coming from younger people...maybe because the internet gives this generation more access to lots of high quality inspiration that the libraries we had at university just couldn't possibly stock.
In some ways I'm heartened by the future of our industry. In other ways, there's lots more plagiarism out there too. A downside to greater exposure to others' work I suppose.Either way it's always nice to see new work. Especially on here where design threads are rare these days.
I had lots of lovely feedback here back in the day (like 8 years ago!) which helped me progress in my career. So keep up the good work Felix, I say- resuming grumpy, cynicism in 3, 2, 1 -
