No longer relegated to designer’s sketchbooks, hand-drawn type has emerged from the underground as a dynamic vehicle for visual communication—from magazine, book, and album covers to movie credits and football advertisements. As the practice and appreciation of hand-drawn type grows, it's time to celebrate the work of those typographers whose every letterform is a work of art. Hand Job collects groundbreaking work from fifty an international array of today’s most talented typographers who draw by hand. Graphic designer and hand typographer Michael Perry selects work representing the full spectrum of design methods and styles. Each hand-drawn work is entirely shaped by the artist’s unique process—every one a carefully executed composition enhanced by unplanned “accidents” of line, color, and craft. Hand Job also includes photographs of found type, artist’s studios, and the tools that help make typography come to life. Whether you are looking to invigorate your design work or are just in need of a little offbeat inspiration, Hand Job will have you reaching for your favorite pen. Michael Perry is a graphic designer and typographer who has created hand-drawn type for such clients as Urban Outfitters, American Eagle Outfitters, MTV, Rome SDS, Polyvinyl Records, and Amelias magazine. 1290839 1 8 2007 Hand Job: A Catalog of Type total:101|5:51|4:38|3:11|2:0|1:1| 101 441 190 16 5 1 false false Sat Jun 14 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Jun 17 22:26:38 -0700 2008 Tue Jun 17 22:39:46 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Jul 06 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 06 14:38:21 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 06 14:38:21 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Mon Dec 29 20:59:22 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 29 21:00:05 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Mon Nov 02 19:24:24 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 02 19:24:50 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Wed Apr 29 11:07:37 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 29 11:07:53 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Jul 14 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 16 12:21:46 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 16 20:11:16 -0700 2008
