U&LC

For one of my selected briefs I am putting together a newspaper based on typefaces, and anatomy of type. During my tutorial with Lorenzo he explained about something called U&LC, and looking at the work, it has some great piece of typography that can help me with the ideas I have in mind.

Here are a few images I found, through Google Images, of pages from the U&LC Book;

Looking at some of the images from the book, so piece stuck out to me, here is a double page spread, filled with unusual, but interesting images, combined with some nice bold san serif type.



Through the book it seems to have a double page spread showing existing past copies of the magazine. A nice addition and a nice bit of layout.


Nothing is kept the same with the designs, always doing something else, here showing a design of a house, made up of letter forms. A lovely piece of design, works brilliantly with the section of information to.


Combining multiple typefaces onto one page, and mixing up the sizes, it is hard enough to do and not make it look to out of place, but the designers here have done a job that is appealing to the eye and makes you look twice.



Pieces like this, a idea that is simple, but is a strong piece of design with a clever effect.


Here are three covers for the U&LC Magazines, with magazines its important to make it so its going to have some sort of instant impact, something to drag a audience in. Here they have designed it brilliantly, great logo, great use of text and image, and combination of the two.




I really liked this, the idea of using a letter and transforming it into a image, with such simple additions.


There is a U&LC Book, if it continues with the standards of design here, its gonna be well worth a look.
