PPP Branding yourself

Being published online is good but in print is more notable and doesn’t get as lost in the continuous feed.

Task for blogs: write a fractions feature about yourself

I have decided to write about the type family I made for Emanuele Piarulli before Christmas:

'Sol Chadwick is using Typography to Help Fashion Startups Sew Customers from the Global Megahouses

The Leeds Art University student recent collaboration with menswear graduate and fellow LAU alumni Emanuele Piarulli, attempts to bring expression back into the letterforms of fashion. In a project that ran concurrently to his dissertation, Sol questions the importance of form and function within the logotypes of fashion. He says: "with the tediously documented topic of 'that' Peter Saville Burberry type and monogram last year, perhaps the final nail in the coffin after Heidi Silmane dug a Helvetica shaped grave for YSL in 2012, I began to question the durability of this quest for a highly functional universal style and how widespread we could expect the trend to be on typography for the fashion industry". He 21-year-old typographer, who has only just started to describe himself as such, is attempting to forge a name for himself within his two passion pursuits typography and fashion. "there is a fundamental synergy between type and fashion, and I'm not talking about the brash logos of streetwear but moreover the comparisons I draw between the structure of a letterform and that of a model, the silhouette of draped material and that of typographic embellishment, this made the project with Emanuele too perfect to pass up, he quipped. *he reclines further into the sumptuous, patina leather of his Eames chair, one hand placed broodingly against this temple, his ring and little finger massaging his moustache as he stares into space as if deep in thought*


...okay so I think I got a bit carried away there and got the wrong end of the stick a bit setting off on an interview tangent but on a serious note I would really like to polish a project to an itsnicethat standard this year and get it submitted.
