Joke Gossé (°1984) already focused on typography during her studies in graphic design at Sint Lucas Antwerp. After graduating in 2006, she specialized in type design. She was admitted as a postgraduate student at the Department of Typography & Graphic Communication from the University of Reading (UK). During this postgraduate course, she initiated the design of her debut typeface Melville. She graduated as an MA in Type Design in Reading in 2008. After moving back to Antwerp in 2008, Joke started working as a freelance type designer and typographer. She is currently working on a new type family. Joke is also involved in various research projects as a researcher in residence, as part of the research group of typography at Sint Lucas Antwerp.
This book contains 50 wise sayings from the field of
creation, design and life in general.
- I don’t know the key to success, but the key to failure is
trying to please everybody.
- Imagination is more important than knowledge.
- Anything worth doing is worth doing slowly.
Each saying is presented in the form of a genuine poster,
each in a different font. Not surprisingly, the form of this book is just as
important as its content. Typographer Joke Gossé gives a unique design to each
quote using both existing and specially designed fonts. The author of each
quote is mentioned, alongside a short description of the font. A genuine
keepsake for designers, philosophers and other creative spirits.
