We really like the cover image of Philip Glass that Siggi Eggertsson has created for the Feb 1st cover of The Village Voice, which includes Siggi’s take on the magazine’s logo. Glass’ portrait was commissioned by The Village Voice on the occassion of his seventy-fifth birthday. See more of Siggi’s work here.

Siggi Eggertsson has created a scarf as part of an ongoing series initiated by creative agency Hugo & Marie. The scarf features a moon graphic made of thousands of triangles across its giant 1.3 x 1.3 metre size and is printed on 100% silk. The scarf is available to buy here.

Siggi Eggertsson’s latest personal project sees him taking posters from the first half of the 20th century, stripping out their main images and autotracing the type. By removing the subject images and flattening out the colours, Siggi draws attention to the shape of the type, rather than what the text is saying. Visit Typography, autotraced here.

Last night at Kemistry Gallery in London, film magazine Little White Lies launched their exhibition LWL70. Among the list of top-drawer makers invited to create a print inspired by a film from the 1970’s were Big Active’s very own Jesse Auersalo, Siggi Eggertsson and Jim Stoten. The show runs until 2nd July, while the prints are available for purchase here.

Siggi Eggertsson has won the award for Best Cover at the Icelandic Music Awards. The project, for band Apparat Organ Quartet, involved Siggi creating fifteen images by hand-layering vinyl foil. As he explains, Each member of the band represents a different social group, so I made each of them a different shield, then I made shields for each of the nine songs on the album, reflecting the subject of each song. Siggi also used his own typeface, Common Sans, in the cover.

You can see more images from the project on Siggi’s recently updated website.

‘Couture In The 21st Century‘ is a new book designed by Big Active. It was launched last night with an exclusive party at Harrods. Working in collaboration with the author Deborah Bee, design director Gerard Saint commissioned Rankin to shoot a definitive series of portraits of 30 of the world’s leading fashion designers – the likes of Erdem, Lacroix, Prada, Paul Smith, Armani and Oscar de la Renta, to accompany interviews explaining their relationship with couture, archive inspiration and examples from each designer’s current collection. The front and back cover features specially commissioned graphics by Siggi Eggertsson. See more…
