It would seem wrong not to pay homage to Mark Porter when thinking
about dealing with type and layout in any project. Considering he is one
of the people who have not necessarily inspired, but highlighted the fact
along with functionality within type, there can also be an element of the
experiment. This counts for serious subject matter as well as the more
lighthearted stuff.
Mark Porter is the best known in his field. Having gained international
status over the years, he has been awarded many times through
respected corporations such as D&AD where he was the first and so far
only person to be awarded a black pencil for his editorial work.
Porter has worked on many magazines,
supplements and books. The most well
known being 'The Guardian', famous
for it's consistent grid design and simplistic
yet informative visual
tone.
He also embraces the digital age. Something I have recognised as of late is
important for a relevant contemporary practice.
