About Home Mission Statement Publications Work Calligraphy Fonts Clients Lectures & Workshops Links	Cannot Not Design is Nicoletta Antonopoulou and Michail Semoglou. A team of well-known left-wing activists, who talk much about politics and they, often, criticize contemporary Greek life-style. “I am bored” and “I receive bribes” were two very successful “political” campaigns that took place in 2008 and 2009 respectively.         Typically, Cannot Not Design is a typographic design bureau with a focus on pharmaceutical and publication design. It was co-founded by typographic designers Nicoletta Antonopoulou and Michail Semoglou seven years ago, in 2003.         Since 2005, Nicoletta and Michail have run CND’s tiny publishing house, which, apparently, has many fans in Greece and around the world. Their books are on sale at www.cndpublications.com.         In addition, Nicoletta teach basic typography at Applied Arts Studies and Michail gives lectures, runs numerous workshops on book design and calligraphy in various institutions around Greece and contributes articles to periodicals.
