Doyald Poster Thanks

Thanks to all that have help spread the word about the Doyald Young poster. Some nice scholarships will be had. So grateful for that. http://www.swiss-miss.com/2011/04/design-is-2.html http://www.designworklife.com/2011/04/12/doyald-young-poster/ http://welovetypography.com/post/10906 http://bit.ly/gAAhPP

Doyald Poster

I started this project with Doyald Young in November of 2010 and was to be a gift from myself and Doyald to one of our mutual friends. Before the poster was finished sadly, Doyald passed away. The day after his passing, I contacted Jessica Hische, she graciously and beautifully brought the project to life. The poster took a whole new direction from a gift for a friend to a way to raise money for a type scholarship in Doyald’s name. The poster is 15 x 20 and is letterpress printed on Classic Crest 130 lb Solar White. http://etsy.me/dWgbB4

Doyald

DOYALD YOUNG: In type class I felt like the most fortunate person alive when my name was chosen out of a hat of 30 to work one-on-one with him. What I learned from him that day and for years to come went way beyond good design or type. This email is a great example of that and what a giving person he was. It has sat on my desk for the last 12 years as inspiration to strive to do good work and be a good human. He was the kindest most generous man and a one of a kind talent. Thank you Candice Lopez for introducing me to such an amazing man. I as many will miss him very much.
