I am very excited about our second issue of Building Letters, this issue has an indian feel to it with :

Sami from Underware in India
Rathna Ramanathan on Indian street sign painters
A visit to an Indian design firm
Exploring India the Brand

Slighly less Indian is an essay by Neville Brody about his personal point of view on the responsibility of being a designer, plus lots more...

On the font side of things, we have exclusives from :

Max Kisman
Ian Swift
Donnald Beekman
Harsh Patel
Miles Newlyn
David Luscombe
Jim Richardson

Commercial typefaces from :

Bruno Maag
Font Kitchen
Simon Schmidt
Felix Braden
Rian Hughes
Pizza Dude
Australian Type Foundry
Alejandro Paul

Plus an exclusive Indic border design by John Downer. These will be free with the magazine.

On the poster front, this time we have Emigre and Eboy creating two fantastic posters.

The cost of this issue is likely to be just �10 + post and packaging (all packs will be mailed record delivery after lots of problems with missing packs last time).

As with last time, this is all about raising money for charity, so get your credit cards ready!

Jim, the last building letters sent me three posters and nothing else. I want a "anual report on whats realy going on there" I don't care about fonts, I care about people. So lets get down to facts what has been done in the last year. It's nice people like to get involved, but I have to know there are results.

Firstly, just to clarify, your pack only contained the posters, no magazine or disk? If so, thats not right!

On an annual report. Yep we have all that in the next pack and it will be on the new website which will be uploaded in the next week. One of my friends went over to check things out a few weeks back and he has pictures and a report of where we are at.

The Building Letters project is a great idea, I thought it was a one-off, but continuing the project is cool.

I think two is probably the limit of it, as I can only ask people to donate so much of there time. Maybe after this issue it will rest for a few years and come back, or the project may take on a different form.
