Designisfine x Grafik Tasarim

By: Celeste Prevost

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.
