A Talk by Anthony Burrill

The best thing is to get out there, meet people and see where you fit in.

My thoughts:

I like the simplicity of Anthony’s work yet it still has an impact of those who read it. We were told that it takes time to be able to set type well and to achieve this harmony in the piece. Even though it looks simple it still takes time to perfect. Something I like about his piece ‘Work hard and be nice to people’ is how he heard someone say it at a supermarket, make a note of the phrase and used it later on in his work. It highlights the importance of being aware of the world and of drawing inspiration from different sources, not just the design world.
