Looking at Anthony Burrill’s work, I really liked his ‘Oil and water do not mix’ posters. I had the idea to make circles made of oil in the water.
After taking the photographs and stepping back, I think this also doesn’t represent Anthony Burrill’s work. I would like to do something that is geometrical, like his work.
Stefan Sagmeister
Having in mind that Sagmeister’s work is often natural, extreme and sometimes disgusting, I visualised Sagmeister’s circle formed by sausages or onions! This is of course a rough idea, it doesn’t really remind me of Sagmeister’s work. I should find a different way to visualise a circle from Sagmeister’s perspective
After some drinks of wine, intelligent conversations with new people, a lot of food and good relaxing Christmas time back home in Cyprus, I came with an idea for my D&AD project. Trying to think how I could link the three designers together, to find a single element to connect them I remembered that the Typographic Circle obviously has to do with a simple but at the same time complicated graphic shape, the circle! So, my idea is formed around a question, ‘how these designers would visualise a circle?’ or ‘what a circle can be in their eyes?’. I could email them and ask them of course, but I think they won’t reply to me – well, I can try!
Anthony Burrill’s work is really geometrical, simple, clean, bright and eye catching!

My favourite work of Anthony Burrill is a poster made by using leaked BP oil taken from the gulf of Mexico
Looking at his work I remembered one time I visited Kemistry Gallery, I bought some postcards from an old exhibition of him! (coincidence?) The reason I bought them is because they look so simple, clean and geometrical

From the start of this project, I started thinking about the finished format of the special series. I had in mind of producing a slipcase for all the magazines or one slipcase for each one. The reason I wanted to introduce the idea of a slipcase makes it seem more formal, limited and special!
This image shows 3 old ideas I had a while ago: –one having a cut-out circle on the slipcase (which would probably be single coloured) from which you can see through the cover of the special edition or you can see the logo of the Typographic Circle printed on the special magazine
-the second one is having postcards instead of regular magazine spreads, or single spreads in a slipcase.
-the third one is the special editions with an ‘extra’ cover that would be the half width of the cover, probably black which would have only the logo printed on it.
A later idea:
-having a slipcase for each of the special editions with a semi-circle on the right bottom corner from which you can see the logo printed on the special editions. The semicircle would be used to help the reader pull out the magazine but also to surprise them with the cover as the slipcase would be single coloured (probably black) in contrast to the colourful/busy/surprising cover of the inside magazine.
