Ross Milne
Ross Milne was born in Canada
where he studied graphic design at Emily Carr University in Vancouver. Upon
graduation he pursued the Type & Media postgraduate Master course at the
KABK in the Hague. He is a founding member of the design studio Working Format (Vancouver) which specialises in a diverse body of work
that includes type design, signage, identity and printed matter. He currently
teaches type design at Emily Carr University.
He is currently a
contributing designer with commercial type and his typeface Foxtrot is planned
for release by typoteque.
Milne says he has never been someone who just sketches, “even though I constantly I wish I was. His sketches are almost always a response to an specific project or idea with a fairly defined goal.
Even in my detailed sketches I try to puss off descition-making as long as possible”. Often, I find it hard to understand how terminals of the letters will be, or the amount of contrast in the strokes of ten the sketching process acts as a voice showing you what to do next.
While the hand sketches are
quite typical, Milene says that the use of interpolation tools in my case, I
use Erik Van Blokland’s superpolator software to sketch multiple variations of
a word mark or logotype offers a unique way to visualize numerous options that
would otherwise take hours to sketch.
