Grapic Design - Wim Crouwel
Willem Hendrik Crouwel was born in Groningem in1928. He is a Dutch graphic designer and typographer. Between 1947 and 1949 he studied Fine Arts at Academie Minerva in Groningen, the Netherlands. In addition to that, he studied typography at what is now the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam.
This piece of typography is probably my favourite out of all of Wim Crouwel's work fo the simple fact of the shapes used. I like how he has worked on dotted graph paper. The dots look as if they have helped him choose his shape for each letter. They also look part of the piece aswell, sort of like a background.
This piece is yet again worked on top of a graph-like background and it looks like the squared helped create each letter shape as the squared have been filled in to create them.
I find all of these three pieces very similar in a way that the writing is very structural and graphic. He seems to use colour quite a lot but a black and/or white is normally involved too.
