Making Faces (nerd alert!)

This lovely documentary “Making Faces” has just been re-released and we want to see it!

“The film captures the personality of the late Canadian graphic artist Jim Rimmer (1931-2010) and follows his hands-on method of creating typefaces from the preliminary sketches through the cutting and casting of a single letter. The design featured in the film would become the basis for the first-ever simultaneous release of a digital font and hand-set metal font.” (via p22.com)

We designed beauty-expert & Elle column writer Charlotte Torpegaard‘s new book called “Yummy Mummy”. A cornucopia of tips, knowledge, stories and suggestions for keeping your skin & body perky, healthy and pretty both through and after your pregnancy! Also relevant for any woman – with or without child – who wants to look after appearance in a sensible and non-chemical way! We had photographer Olivia Frølich shoot the cover and illustrator Sine Jensen draw all the little product drawings.

La Vie d’Adèle

Blue is the warmest colour (La Vie d’Adèle – chapitre 1 & 2) by Abdellatif Kechiche won the Palme d’Or at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. We can’t wait to see it when it premieres as it looks very emotional and uncompromising. One of the main characters is the BEAUTIFUL Lea Seydoux that we adore.
