Typography insert: Creative Review

The cover image for our May Annual issue was literally grown in an immunology lab, using pollen cells.

I love the May annual cover of Creative Review. Created using pollen cells formed in a metal container in the shape of an 'A'. The cells were then applied and grew within the 'A' to form the cover.





These images are a great inspiration for the path I can take towards creating typography for my posters (when the time comes but, so I don't forget, here it is)

The visible cells give the letterform a real natural feel. The curved lines and various contrasts in colour of the pollen within the contained 'A' offer a sense of movement, you can almost instantly imagine the pollen swerving and replicating within the letterform.
