A Conversation with Kurt Woerpel
NYC-based graphic designer, illustrator, and art director Kurt Woerpel was interviewed to learn about his creative practice, compiled into a 4-page newspaper print. Takeaways from the conversation include the importance of playing with typography, viewing your own work in an open-ended attitude, setting clear or inspired goals, and ultimately, being and trusting yourself as a creative.
I created two custom typefaces that captures the two spectrums of work that Kurt Woerpel does. The first is the blocky, pixel-like letters, inspired by some of Kurt’s lower-res approaches to graphic design; the second is a handwritten typeface that speaks to Kurt’s illustration style. Custom illustrations also serve as a backdrop, echoing gestures done by Kurt during the interview.
