Some sketches inspired by the van Doesburg exhibition I went to at the Tate Modern. I'm quite a fan of the graphic shapes that construct the models of buildings, the above is a sketch from a particular angle and then also worked into on the reverse of the page. My sketchbook paper is a bit flimsy and ink shows through so I thought it could be good to use this to my advantage. A little bit of this technique allowed me to apply shading to the right doodle of the composition of Nicolas Werkman's letterpress Chimneys (1923).
The typography parts of the exhibition were most appealing for me. It was great to see some groundbreaking uses of typography during that era and it's no surprise that so many modern designers are hooked on that style.
