»Mario Hugo composes typographic and illustrative works with an eye fixed on progressive experimentation. His hand-rendered font for The Decemberists' The Hazards of Love album (a collaboration with illustrator Carson Ellis) is just one example of his shape-shifting approach to design. But so too are his bold geometric letter forms for Beck's Modern Guilt album sleeve, pieces that look more like woodcarved sculpture than design coaxed from a computer. In addition to his own commercial work, Hugo also runs the artist management firm, Hugo & Marie. Matthew Newton from Computerlove recently had the opportunity to talk with Mr. Hugo.« Here's how the conversation played out: Interview at Computerlove
