tension here. Type is solid and commands attention yet the image of PS Hoffman is turning his back to it.
interieurs Paprika, Montreal, Quebec, 2008
In 2008, Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Quèbec (BAnQ) dedicated an exhibition to the poet Paul-Marie Lapointe. Combining improvisation, social challenge and linguistic invention, Lapointe created amusing and innovative poetry. We were mostly inspired by his original work and by his constant effort to present words in inventive layouts.
Interieurs is a well—known Canadian publication, dedicated to design and architecture. Paprika was mandated to redesign the entire mock-up of the magazine and improve the presentation of the cover to reflect the artistic and design creativity within its pages
high 5 Identica, Montreal, Quebec, 2008 A wonderful object quality to this piece; an appreciation of the 3D nature of a book. Every detail is very well thought through. This feels fresh and light; a book that is more than a book—a piece of sculpture. The logo treatment is also clever and engaging.

We love the rigor and simplicity, as well as the colorful composition of the objects in space. We love the mix of cultural figures with the visual. The exhibition has a contemporary context that delivers on modest means.

PAIN’S WORLD
Print magazine’s TYPE&FORM issue celebrated typography in all its various forms. The cover sculpture, created and designed by Karsten Schmidt, supported the feature article on kinetic typography. The phrase was built through generative design, executed into solid form through 3-D printing and then photographed, bringing it back to 2-D format. The end result looks larger than life but was actually only a few inches tall.
