Anthony Burrill's Work Hard And Be Nice To People poster was a feature on the walls of CR Towers for a long time, providing valuable words to live by for all who labour here. An unfortunate Blu-Tac-related accident put paid to our copy so we were pleased to hear that its no-nonsense message will be reappearing on the cover of next month's Wallpaper*

Burrill has designed four covers for the magazine's June issue, which takes Work as its theme.

Apparently it will also include a feature on Wallpaper*'s idea of the perfect office - we're betting it'll be pretty similar to our palatial surroundings here at CR.

*UPDATE*
Tony Burrill just sent us this picture of his studio - surely it's wrong for a man to be that tidy?

It looks a bit like Champion Gothic.

Font looks very much like a tweaked Tasse Black...

The main typeface looks like Hoefler & Frere-Jones' Knockout #67 Full Featherweight. And the words "LIVE More" are Knockout #92 Ultimate Cruiserweight. Very cool fonts for nice big headlines.
