Craig Ward

Combine illustration and type and you’ll get the work of Craig Ward. He resides in London and spends his time creating outstanding typography and designs at Chi & Partners and through his own Freelance opportunities. His website Words Are Pictures showcases his commissioned and self-initiated work mostly in the editorial and publishing fields. He’s received accolades from the likes of the ADC Young Guns and his work appears in many books and magazines from all around the world.

His work displays his knowledge of type and how to combine letterforms with illustration. I was really impressed with is work for the Art Director’s Club, Germany with the Ace of Spades (shown below), a set of playing cards by Sushi 9. Yummy!
