Hughes is huge
Monday, August 18, 2008
Rian Hughes, the only type designer who can wear wallpaper successfully, is featured in Design, Tea and Biscuits, 26 minutes of fun from ADC courtesy of Veer. Rian is his usual charming self, thought the piece is very heavily edited and overlaid with apparently funky music to make his presentation slicker in a slightly cloying American manner. This seems a shame, and I found the constant compression of his flow distracting. I heard Rian speak at St Bride earlier this year, and was lucky enough to interview him a few years ago, and the contrast between his edited and unedited self is stark. To be honest, I would rather listen to his natural rhythm. However, that said, go watch.
