Teacake Tours - Part Three

Last Friday, when exploring Lisbon with the guys from Toormix - we stumbled across the Design and Fashion Museum, MUDE and what an exceptional find it was...

A leader in 20th century design with several critics describing its collections as the best in Europe - MUDE includes work from over 230 designers representing trends from around the world. Works from design icons such as Eames, Starck, Panton and Tom Dixon decorate the breathtaking surroundings which are contained within the ruins of an old bank.

A must for any design lover visiting Lisbon.

ESAD - Communicar X 2013 - Caldas Da Raihna Portugal

We would like to say a big thank you to the team at ESAD for inviting us to talk at this years Comunicar Design festival.

We presented a lively lecture this morning about having fun and being inspired. Taking everyone on a Teacake journey from the start to the present, we highlighted the little bits of magic form the last seven years that have made Teacake what it is today. There were moments of mischief, typo-treats and Monty Python to boot - we hope all enjoyed the session as much as we did...

Now for a type as image workshop back at the university before getting down to exploring the area!

What's on your butty this lunch time?

To celebrate British Sandwich Week we created a typographic sandwich full of facts together with our good pal, Nick Chaffe.

Have a listen to their lastest single above. "A feel good little number that will get the foot tapping and the head bobbing with catchy riffs and a pleasant upbeat tempo" Paul Lester Guardian

Teacake x OWT Zine

We were asked by the design collective OWT to design the front cover for the next issue of their popular fanzine.
So we designed 3.

Working with the theme ERROR we produced 3 typographical experiments - all using the same title TRIAL AND ERROR.
Through much 'trial and error' (see what we did there) we scanned 3 of our favourite typefaces one serif, one sans serif and one handwritten face to create a bastardised error version of each. This typography style could only of been achieved through our scanning errors.

The zine will be available to buy from Magma Bookshop and the CornerHouse very soon.

Get yourself to Common on Wednesday for a dance and a read.

This months artwork comes from Moose & Yeti, aka Aaron Darveniza. We love Aaron’s simple comic book style, which makes really sparing use of colour to great effect. He’s got a great line in sinister looking cats, rabbits and zombies - perfect for us!
