A wonderful object quality to this piece; an appreciation of the 3D nature of a book. Every detail is very well thought through. This feels fresh and light; a book that is more than a book—a piece of sculpture. The logo treatment is also clever and engaging.

A_B_ peace & terror etc. The computational aesthetics of love & hate blends world politics with the aesthetics of com-putational data to create a powerful, pertinent and spellbind-ing view of the modern world.

Refreshingly classic; good poster design! Function, form and content all coming together delivered with humor! So pure, simple and conceptual for the top-ic at hand.Bravo! And bon appetit! Spaghetti type and sauce is relaxed and casual—the mood any lunchtime lecture should have.

To create symbiosis in this popping portrait of T—Pain, we pumped up the colors of the

typography in Blender Display.

Interieurs is a well—known Canadian publication, dedi-cated to design and architecture. Paprika was mandated to redesign the entire mock-up of the magazine and im-prove the presentation of the cover to reflect the artistic and design creativity within its pages

In 2008, Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Quèbec (BAnQ) dedicated an exhibition to the poet Paul-Marie Lapointe. Combining improvisation, social challenge and lin-guistic invention, Lapointe created amusing and innovative poetry. We were mostly inspired by his original work and by his constant effort to present words in inventive layouts.

We love the rigor and simplicity, as well as the colorful composition of the objects in space. We love the mix of cultural figures with the visual. The exhibition has a contem-porary context that delivers on modest means.

This internal communications piece was created to launch the Nike Sportswear brand. This book was used at global sales meetings and internal Nike events and helped set the creative and business direction for the new brand.

Simple and effective typog-raphy and composition. The space and distance create the tension here. Type is solid and commands attention yet the image of PS Hoffman is turning his back to it.

PAIN’S WORLDPrint, New York, New York, 2008

Print magazine’s TYPE&FORM issue cel-ebrated typography in all its various forms. The cover sculpture, created and designed by Karsten Schmidt, supported the feature article on kinetic typography. The phrase was built through generative design, ex-ecuted into solid form through 3-D printing and then photographed, bringing it back to 2-D format. The end result looks larger than life but was actually only a few inches tall.
