Glug Brum Speaker: Luke Tonge
Luke Tonge spends his days as a designer at LIFE Agency, working on campaigns for household names and global brands.
By night he invests time in passion projects like Boat Magazine, FormFiftyFive and Gallery Church, specialising in brand identity and editorial design.
The relaunch of Monotype’s ‘The Recorder’ Magazine – Issue 1 features a broad range of interesting type/typography subjects — from street signs to Sci-Fi
Over the last few months Luke has shot into the spotlight for his re-imagining of The Recorder a journal first launched by typeface company Monotype in 1902. Its new incarnation is a bright, magazine-y format designed with the aim of broadening the titles appeal and introducing a brave & bold new direction, which Tonge and his team can build on in subsequent issues.
Luke Tonge joins our speaker line-up for Glug Birmingham this Thursday 4th June at Spotlight & Nextdoor, and will be sharing his journey into the creative industry, alongside art director Jonny Costello, London based design studio Shotopop and Aardman Animations senior designer Gavin Strange. Exciting!
