View Larger Image and Additional Photos of Michael Parson STATEMENT OF ART:About Michael Parson : Design has always been central to Michael Parson's life, through his work in his own design studio of Parson Research or with the Typogama type foundry. Having set up his studio at quite a young age, Michael has grown through his work and contact with clients that have allowed him to discover new industries, new cultures and the rich history of design, especially in typography. One quote can sum up his attitude to design, 'we are walking on the shoulders of giants', and through his work, he aims to respect the innovations of the past masters while attempting to add something new and original to the world in which we live.
He has worked both with local, Swiss brands but equally with larger international brands and currently enjoys a part time teaching role where he can continue to explore solutions with the new generations of designers in a course on branding and typography. When he is not working for his various graphic design projects, you will probably find him working on another typeface design! The french have the beautiful phrase of 'art appliquer', or applied art to define Design. This expression reflects both the artistic approach found in design, through research, mediums and forms, but also the constraints of the industrial world that a designer must work with. We are not only serving our interests but equally those of our clients and our end users.
