Salford-based design studio Raw have been churning out some great client-based work recently, as well as nifty self-initiated projects like Christmas By Colour, and now they’re back with a bang…. this time in the realm of typography!
Raw Type started as a bit of self-promotional experiment, but quickly developed into a typeface, a glow in the dark poster and it’s very own typography blog!
So go check it out today, and you can even grab yourself one of those awesome glow in the dark posters in the Raw Type Shop!

Read more about the project DACS and don’t forget there is a call for artists, if you would like to get involved.
The work above is by one of the participants of the project – Chatchanok Wongvachara. It’s called “PURE” and it’s indeed very pure and dreamy. The meaning and inspiration of this artworks as she explains is: “Don’t take the innocent of mind and soul away, please make them pure and bright for the sake of all. Free from Harm and Weakness”
Well done Chatchanok! Hope this amazing typographic illustration will inspire more artists to participate.
You can check out Chatchanok on Behance, and also Chatchanok’s blog for more work. Below are work-in-progress shots of the above piece.

CitID have a neat idea… gather together a visual library of all the cities around the world. How? By asking artists to create a logo or a visual interpretation of the city closest to their heart. There’s some really interesting stuff on there and it’s really great when someone encapsulates the vibe of a city in a simple graphic. So why not submit for your own city? In fact… where’s Liverpool??!
Shown above is a image for Portland, US done by the brilliant Uberkraaft!

The Picture Book Report is a brand new illustration project dreamed up by the super talented painter/doodler, Meg Hunt.
“..Picture Book Report is an extended love-song to books. Fifteen illustrators will reach out to their favorite books and create wonderful pieces of art in response to the text that has moved them, shaped them, or excited them. From sci-fi to children’s books to fantasy to serious novels, we’ll cover them all..” – Meg Hunt
So, at the beginning of each month 15 new illustrations will be released, one after the other starting with the covers. The story has started this month with Meg Hunt’s ‘Alice in Wonderland, and Will Bryant’s ‘Peter Pan & Wendy’. It’s quite exciting waiting for the next picture to come out each day, and seeing how each artist depicts their favourite book. With so much to see, and new illustrations from such wonderful artists nearly everyday, it’s a project to be bookmarked right away.
Contributors: Meg Hunt, Will Bryant, Sam Bosma, Julia Sonmi Heglund, John Martz, Andrea Kalfas, Lizzy Stewart, S.britt, Daniel Krall, PMurphy, Israel Sanchez, Jeremy Sorese, Laura Park, Phil McAndrew, Kali Ciesemier
