This student project by Ryan Hageman caught my eye today. Very nice color / typo interaction and a clean, direct style. There’s more over at his site notfreelance.com

November 14, 2008 at 8:06 amNice work. He needs to pay more attention to the kerning, though, in the “community, freedom…” section. Otherwise, it’s excellent.

November 14, 2008 at 9:30 amyeah, i think the only problem it’s the kerning. it’s incredible how the blank space in the left leads you to the photograph. nice work!

November 17, 2008 at 11:44 amClean work and great use of color. I would love to see him do his own photography, and get a little more experimental with the type like he did in his identity.

November 20, 2008 at 6:21 amJust wanted to say thanks for the comments and critique. I am spending time revisiting this work and your words inspire me to tweak this design to its full potential. As a student, it is valuable to hear critical commentary outside of the classroom context.
