Basic design

About the value of design in physical form

Noel Weber was one of the original "Letter Heads" — a group of professional sign and lettering artists that formed back in the 1970s. Today, he and his team at the Classic Design Studio produce products — signage, identity, architectural elements, and so on — that seem to reflect a love of the creative process.

In competitive markets companies resort to all kinds of machinations to find and hold an audience. I suspect that this is the type of business the audience finds and supports without the hype.

There's something uniquely satisfying about seeing designs reproduced in physical form. I suspect as the world continues its shift to digital, these physical expressions of graphic design will become that much more popular.
