Barbara Kruger has an exhibition of her early assembled works at the Sprüth Magers London. These pre-digital pieces, aka ‘paste ups’ were influenced by her experience as a magazine editorial designer. Her pieces are composed of found images with overlaid slogans set in Futura Bold Oblique.
I work with pictures and words because they have the ability to determine who we are and who we aren’t.

Portland native Shaun Sundholm is a media designer and photographer. He loves tacos and type.
This project is the firstborn child conceived from a life-long love affair with photography and typography. The photo series was shot at an abandoned (and rumored to be haunted) ranch in central Oregon and the type was inspired by my early days as a screen-printer. These pieces complete the sentences that the pictures and the words could never quite say on their own.
