The line of Steinberg
Illustrations by Saul Steinberg
Matt Baxter:

Like many designers, I strive for clarity, strength and simplicity in the work of our studio. I sometimes achieve it, sometimes not. For inspiration, I often turn to the undisputed Crown Prince of clarity, the Grand Poobah of simplicity: Saul Steinberg. The ideas he communicated for the New Yorker with the slightest flick of the pencil are startling: witty, profound, surprising, fun. He described himself as “a writer who draws”. I call myself a designer who draws. But not as well as Saul.

Christopher Doyle and Co.
Rob Duncan:

A clever symbol, a crown motif extracted from Nervi’s ceiling design, sits at the centre of the identity, intrinsically linking the architecture of the theatre, its name, and its location on King St. Perfect location and perfect copywriting as well.

Lyam Bewry:

With all the new type foundries and typefaces on the scene, House Industries latest specimen really captures the imagination unlike anything else.

Antigen
Paul Garbett
Rob Duncan:

A series exploring the vernacular of the ubiquitous Rapid Antigen Tests (RATs), Canvasses were made to the proportions of the testing units.
