Paula Scher on Seriousness vs Solemness in work, specifically, her design work.



I’ve been watching a lot of TED talks lately, now that I realize how far off I am from finishing my last year of school. They’ve been mildly comforting.

Just in case anyone forgot: PROCESS IS EVERYTHING. The successes are worth so much because of how much time failures take. I wish I had a source for this piece, but, you know the internet.

I enjoy this, but, I hate that I found it uncredited. Fuck the internet, sometimes.

Logorama, a short film created by H5, won an Oscar, because it’s amazing.

The animation is really well (immaculately?) done, and the ideas that it conveys of post modernist re-appropriation of already created materials are too important not to think about, or as this video might make you do, laugh at.

This is the most cinematic commercial you’ll ever want to watch at least twice.

We know Mrs. Eaves was Baskerville’s mistress. We didn’t know Mrs. Eaves had a man all of her own.Mr. Eaves.He’s relatively new to the world, but, Mr. Eaves Sans will remind you of Mrs. Eaves and Gill Sans. But poppa’s got a brand new bag! Mr Eaves Modern will remind you of Mrs. Eaves and Futura. Bringing together a breath of Transitional Serif into Humanist and Geometric sans serifs? Genius. And they look so good doing it!

svans:

One of two (for now) handset typefaces that I purchased from youworkforthem.com. They’re so beautiful, I want to buy them all. This one is called Hllvtka.



The only thing that could go wrong is if you have two of the same letters right next to each other. A terrible sentence to typeset would be “Green Day’s Dookie has the best 90’s hooks.” You get the idea, but most definitely not “THE WAY IT’S MEANT TO BE.”
