A sense of discovery...







Hot off the press are Visit Cornwall's 2011 guides. We have built on the success of last years design with fresh content that pushes the boundary of a destination 'brochure' whilst highlighting the best bits of our amazing county. The creative copy from Richard Barbary is entertaining with Dame Judy Dench sharing her love of lobsters and you can follow a Fifteen recipe from their head Chef. Once again we worked with some great photographers (thanks to Matt Jessop), commissioning fresh imagery which capture the personal experience of uncovering places that make memories from holidays. The design is deliberately simple and fuss free, hinting at the personality and charm that's on offer here. Over 120,000 guides have been produced and are available on request from Visit Cornwall and are distributed globally.

What's your type?


Japanese font makers Morisawa can spend up to four years and spend €800,000 on producing a typeface! They draw each character by hand with a basic Japanese font set containing more than 23,000 characters! Many designers today (across all disciplines) conduct their work on computers - making Morisawa a refreshing example of how traditional methods are still being used and just how effective they are!
