""The fun thing about teaching your subject of study is that you can make adjustments you wish had been made when you were a student; to make that subtle and possibly frivolous change you wish to see in the world. For me, that was designing on paper.""
""While the painters may abandon centuries of technique accrued in shading, perspective and colour in favour of pursuing their unfettered whims on the canvas - type designers have no such luxury.""
Addison Copas, a Virginia-born graphic designer, finds fascination in limitations within his craft. He prefers structured, research-based practices over unbridled freedom in art. His teaching approach reflects adjustments he wished for as a student, emphasizing the benefits of traditional tools like pencil and paper for quick prototyping. His work, inspired by Czech typographer Oldřich Menhart, showcases a retro aesthetic and a focus on text type design, which he describes as a confined art form influenced by cultural perceptions and human sight.
