The International Typographic Awards 2024 took place last week in the highly exotic surroundings of the Royal Pavilion, Brighton – a stark contrast to the spare minimalism of much of the featured winners. Typography from all around the world was represented, demonstrating the range, energy, and craftsmanship of designers’ work.
While typography serves an everyday need – it is the most democratic and quotidian of modern artforms – it can be delivered in so many ways, whether with impact, subtlety, or panache.
The identity for Sussex Modern was one of three awards for Playne Design, the exceptional team I have been working alongside for ten years now. The other awards were for Sussex Wine Tourism and Charleston Trust.
