BMD Studio’s Remarkable Typography Designs
BMD Design is A Graphic Design Studio Located In Bordeaux That Operates In The Fields Of Graphic Design And Excels In Hand Lettering! These Hand Lettering/illustration Styles Remind You Of Old School Sports Logos, Or Barber Shop Posters. The Guy Who Owns This Studio Is Bruno And He Lives In France.
His Typographies Are Excellent Pieces That You Can Check At His Website. In An Interview He Said That He Uses Backgrounds That He Creates Himself, Or Scans Photos That He Shoots. Sometimes He Also Uses Textures That He Finds Online.
He Works In An Artist Studio That He Entirely Renovated. Wood And Steel Beams, With A Lot Of Personal Objects Are The New Views In His Studio. Right Next To His Desk There Is An Old French Motorcycle From 1934 That Has Always Belonged In His Family. He Finds A Lot Of Inspiration In Books And Is Passionate About Collecting Books. He Also Loves To Travel, Music, And Art.
He Says That Once The Drawing Is Done He Scans The Writing/drawing/painting Using The Max Dpi To Conserve The Authenticity Of The Original. If The Typography Is Done By Hand, He Doesn’t Vectorize It, To Keep The Brush Effects. He Says He Can Vectorize Typography Created From A Felt Pen.
He Has Been A Typography Student And Learnt How To Create Typographies By Hand. He Had Also Worked In A Very Old Artisanal Print Shop That Used To Do Plomb Typography, Which Is Now Only Reserved For Fine Art Printing. He Used A Platine Typography Press. Then He Integrated With An Agency And Had To Work With A MAC Where He Missed The Handmade Work. He Says: “few Years Ago There Was A Big Come Back Of Traditional Methods Trending In Art In General So I Can Easily Juggle Between Both. Hand Writing And Computer Work. Every Style And Trends Has To Die At Some Point. I Have No Problem To Adapt And Change. If A Client Wants Something 100% Done On Computer, I Just Do It. I Already Have Clients Who Ask Me If I Have Something Else Other Than This Handwriting Style.”
