Vincent Leungs’ photographs were the launch point for the design as was the title Square One. I am especially pleased with the “Square” inspired typesetting on the back plate and disk.

I love experimenting with type and using type in a way that both represents the artist and/or their theme. The original type designer of “Agency”,  Morris Fuller Benton was a ture innovator. He changed the physical manner of type design and production by refining a process for creating scalable drawings for each letter. What better representation of starting at Square one?! And the well known designer David Berlow did an amazing job building a system from Morris Bentons’Original work.
