I was recently asked by Salih Kucukaga to do an interview with Grafik Tasarim, a Turkish design magazine. AND the issue is finally out!, so I thought I’d share the Q&A here. Enjoy!

Q&A
-
Firstly, can you tell me about yourself for GT readers? Who is Celeste Prevost?
I’m a designer/illustrator currently living in Minneapolis working at Zeus Jones. I’m originally from Colorado where I attended the Art Institute of Colorado and received my BFA in graphic design. Had a couple internships, freelanced at a few studios in the Denver area and was later offered a position at Zeus Jones. I spend the majority of my free time consumed by the internet and if not by the internet then I’m off working on some idea or collaborating with friends and/or my husband Rob.
You have so many brilliant works in your portfolio. Clean and strong use of typography. How did you get interested in typography?
Signage has always inspired me and to this day is some of my favorite typography. I also have this strange obsession with reading labels… constantly and often the same labels multiple times, not sure how that relates. I also love hand-drawn type it has so much personality which I really enjoy.

I just got my hands on the new book Bastardised this week and it’s fantastic. The book by Bunch features reworked versions of the Bunch identity from a variety of contributors. If you get the chance, be sure to flip to page 127 and take a gander at my little gem!

As you can see, we have started to find some interesting spots to check out here in Minneapolis. Although it may appear to be taken in front of a giant Murakami installation, it’s not. This flick was taken in a hallway in the Walker Arts Center. Celeste and I made sure to put this at the top of our places to see list and it was all, if not more than, what we had hoped for. We found this little area and had to snap a quick pic. How often is it that you see a room covered in a pattern by Takashi Murakami. It seems wallpaper still has something going for itself? To say the least, the Walker has tons of crazy stuff in it and is a must see on anyone’s visit to the Twin Cities, but thats another story all together. I’ll catch you all up on all of that soon enough.

If you haven’t heard, our dear friends Rob and Celeste are leaving us. Celeste was recently hired at Zeus Jones (congrats!!!) and the duo will be moving to Minneapolis in the next few days. We had a great going away dinner last night. TB and myself made the following pieces for them to take on the road. While we’re losing some key players in our scene, we’ll now be extending the JoyEngine family outside of Colorado. Good luck to you both!
