There are many reasons any designer (whether aspiring or professional) should embrace the idea of being active on Twitter, and other social media websites on a regular basis.

According to Alex Mathers‘ post entitled ’15 Reasons You Need to Embrace Social Media As A Creative Person’, here are the top five:

1. To bring admirers, fans and followers of your work to you

2. As a source of inspiration from others in your field

3. For constant and regular free exposure

4. To advertise events such as gallery exhibitions in the real world

5. To establish a network of professionals who can support, inspire and teach you in your industry

The International Typographic Style, also known as the Swiss Style, is a graphic design style developed in Switzerland in the 1950s that emphasizes cleanliness, readability and objectivity. Hallmarks of the style are asymmetric layouts, use of a grid, sans-serif typefaces and flush left, ragged right text. The style has a preference for photography. Many of the early International Typographic Style works featured typography as a primary design element and it is for this that the style is named.

If you are a fan of minimalism, typography, grid structures, and the post-modern era, you will enjoy checking out this timeline at Smeared Black Ink.


It documents the transitions from 1896 when Akzidenz Grotesk became prominent in the Swiss Style, all the way to 1959 when it became an influence on many American designers and used around the world, including corporate design and branding.

I can never go more than 2 or 3 days without checking out my Twitter favorite and amazingly talented illustrator and graphic designer, @MoonApe also known as Alex Mathers.


His illustration style is very creative, with use of detailed backgrounds and harmonious colors which really make the work stand out. He’s such a cool designer to speak to, and his (very clean, fresh) blog also showcases the work of other illustrators on his own design & illustration blog Ape On The Moon.
