We want to tell you a story. When we were faced with yet another obstacle in our journey, an opportunity presented itself that became much bigger than we could ever imagine. We were seeking out information, a much more in depth research pertaining to our list of machinery in our premise. We did what we could in our own backyard and it was time to venture out. And so we did, and we tried all possible ways and we were lucky enough to stumble upon this: We had submitted a profile of machinery pictures on LinkedIn via their letterpress community and explaining our intention and reached out for any help possible. One person replied showing great interest and explained that hell be visiting Malaysia for work. Little did we know, that faithful conversation and meet up would lead to something potentially much more. His name is Professor Phil Cleaver and he couldnt be any happier after his visitation at The Royal Press. This is the man behind the VISA logo. He drew out the letter V-I-A and the S was created by someone else. He spent a lot of time in Indonesia and enjoys Asia very much. It was a lovely day exchanging ideas and thoughts and were off to making something happen further. Watch this space! More about him here: --- Professor Phil Cleaver is a multi-award winning graphic designer who sees things differently. He has been described as (amongst other things) one of England’s most eminent graphic designers. A protégé of Anthony Froshaug, Phil first honed his design and typographic skills under Alan Fletcher at Pentagram in 1977, with Wim Crouwel at TD in Holland, and with Michael Wolff at Wolff Olins. In 1984, Allied International Designers recruited Phil as creative director of branding and he then went on to establish CleaverLandor, a specialist branding design consultancy, a few years later. One of Phil’s most notable achievements includes winning a Yellow Pencil, the design equivalent of an Oscar. He is also a fellow of the Chartered Society of Designers, a founding trustee of the Monotype Type Museum, a board member of the International Type Academy, a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and artistic director to the Type Archive. His early typographical work is archived in St Bride’s printing library and his book design is in the permanent collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum’s National Art Library. --- ‘I hate drawing curves, I’m crap at them’ – a death-defying Q&A with Phil Cleaver, author of What They Didn’t Teach You In Design School - See more at: bit.ly/1q3A2bV
