bubble wrap typography by lo siento
‘+81 magazine’ cover design by lo siento
spanish graphic design studio lo siento conceived the cover for japan’s +81 magazine, where the artist injects bubble wrap blisters with colored water to spell out the issue’s subject ‘next creativity’. the work is amongst a diverse range of typographical explorations – moving beyond the traditional realm of 2D to design for various identities and projects. ‘4D type’ is one concept that sees the idea of lettering to become viewable from all angles, or ’empo’, which is an alphabet created as part of an identity for an osteopathy office informed by the human body.

“U’ must be joking….
Does it bother anyone else that the alphabet skipped the letter U?
