Geometry Daily

added on Sunday, Jan 01, 2012 20:10 pm

I start something new today.

In 2012, I‘m going to channel my enthusiasm for simple graphics in a new on-going personal design project. Starting today I will publish a new graphic artwork each and every day. Each piece will be based on simple geometric shapes and composed in a rather minimal style. I set up a new tumble log dedicated to this project. It‘s called Geometry Daily, the URL is geometrydaily.tumblr.com.

Let‘s see where this will take us and how long I can hold that up! I‘m excited. See you over there. ¬ Comments

Fonts In Use – Type at work in the real world.

added on Wednesday, Jan 05, 2011 22:02 pm

fontsinuse.com is a new site by Sam Berlow, Stephen Coles, and Nick Sherma is an excellent resource for anybody who has an interest in typography. It shows real world examples and adds some explanation and in-depth critique. I would not take the critics‘ part as impeccable, but it is great to read some discourse on type. And the layout and typography of the site itself is worth the visit alone!

Little stickers to put on newspapers and the like, to warn of bad journalism. Great idea, making a very valid point on the written word these days.

iA on WIRED on iPad

added on Wednesday, Jun 09, 2010 18:49 pm

At informationarchitects.jp there is a very interesting conversation going on about the design of the WIRED magazine in the Apple's iPad. There is a lot to learn about designing for the iPad in general. What makes it even more interesting is not only the critique of Oliver Reichenstein (Information Architects), but the thoughtful reactions of Jonathan Hoefler (H&FJ type foundry) and Khoi Vinh (creative director of New York Times Online).
