Summer in New York?
Last night Urbis opened it’s latest exhibition, State of the Art: New York with an identity designed by Glorious. A hand-made aesthetic forms a common thread between much of the work on display. Taking this as an influence we gave a type style associated with the city through Milton Glaser’s I Love NY logo a similar DIY attitude.
The show continues throughout the summer and is worth a visit.
