Notes to client

A note which most designers would wanna pin it to their clients head. Sweet

Typeface selection

Ever encounter times where you are frantically looking for a specific typeface for the right project? Fret not as Flowchart for choosing a typeface is here to save the day. Funny and useful by Danish Julian Hansen.

Dear adobe

A long awaited wish for most photoshop fanatic out there.

Evolution of type taste

A catalog of Jessica Hische evolving typography likes through time. I am so glad that someone shares roughly the same typographical liking as me, makes me feel much less alien.

Unclear

Words are the best forms of expression. Simple words like these make all of us nod in agreement and sigh away. Typography art work by Supermundane, from Present Joy.

Nike + Livestrong

A nice idea by Nike to make use of technology and messaging to encourage the participants of tour de france. Made the campaign more human and a whole lot meaningful.

Meet the elements

It looks like a youtube friday for me as i have been viewing great works that is hosted on it. I came a cross this fine example of how art can give a facelift to boring stuff. “Meet the Elements” is the child conceive by Dimitri Mendeleev and Lothar Meyer. No doubt it might not educate you what a noble gas is all about, but it feels good to have that on my t-shirt. Nice video styling except of the super annoying interstitial when the video kicks to 20 seconds.

Heroine

A new typeface designed by Göran Söderström – Heroine. Inspired by the typeface Windsor, designed by Eleisha Pechey in 1905. Windsor is the typeface used in the titles of many Woody Allen movies. A modern interpretation of this rusty pearl is something that always have been missing in the major type libraries. But Heroine is not only an interpretation, it goes beyond that. With the addition of swashes and alternate letters in several styles it becomes very addictive.

Neat way to introduce a typeface with a trailer. Releasing on September 15, 2009.

Helvetwitter

Thanks to the push by Rebecca, i finally integrated my blog with twitter to address the need that some people follow blogs via twitter.

You might be wondering why i did not want to do so earlier. To me, I like simplicity, and i think twitter did a good job by being simple to use. However, over time, the website and various client just had too much junk for me to really take it up as a service.

But all thanks to Jose Frichter. He went back to the basics and created the Helvetwitter client that gives me ample reason to take it up. It’s amazingly simple and aesthetically pleasing. Worth the download.
