Lunch break

Incidental material from Raf and Luci’s lunch break. The aim this time was to try a different format (tabloid size) and layout, and see how the sequence of images works out. I also wanted to try and create a small cityscape out of found images and graphics in order to establish a sense of place. It has taken me a long time to reach a satisfactory result, and there’s still lots to improve on. But it’s a start.

P.S. Note that ‘Nebular’ is being advertised at the Luncheonette (opening panel). For more information on ‘Nebular’, see my post of 19 August below.

Out to lunch, part 1

I have always liked ‘out to lunch’ shop signs, I am not quite sure why that is. Perhaps it’s the ordinariness of the typography, but also because these three words seems to convey a world of possibilities; a condensed hour or so where one could be doing any number of things. Now I have finally designed one myself, hopefully the first of many. The rather upbeat exclamation mark was inspired by the excellent album cover of Eric Dolphy’s singular ‘Out to Lunch!’ (Blue Note, 1964).
