The official Objectified poster!

2009-03-06T00:27:00.000-08:00

Michael C. Place and his studiomates at Build have come up with an awesome poster design for Objectified, featuring drawings of dozens of objects from designers in the film and more. The best part of the poster is the bottom row of images, which are the objects we used to actually make the film (genius idea, Michael!).

Looks like we’ll have to be patrolling the walls at South by Southwest again this time. 27″ x 39″, metallic silver and black, lithograph. They will be adding them to the shop soon.

The story of a bird that was created free and it was copyrighted

2009-03-05T21:41:00.000-08:00

Ok Here we have a Artist by the name Patrick Fore who presents this wallpaper as his personal work, its really nice but...

Well lets take a minute that reminds me of something O yes its a personal experiment of a friend of mine Charis Tsevis he is the real designer of this artwork.
The original artist Charis Tsevis says: "Licensed under Creative Commons for NON commercial use only" and the Patrick Fore has this artwork as copyrighted? And gives its as his wallpaper created by him through his website?Well this is how things work! First we steal the work of an artist with Creative Commons and then we copyright it and we presented as our work. Ok! Im not a good designer, I’m trying to become one, but I will never present others peoples work as mine I will try to discover the way he works I think that when we are young designers it is ok to imitate others works. But after a while the designer will filter down the work that he sees and will create a new or fresh style
And as Picasso ones said

Bad artists copy. Good artists steal

Well Picasso did not say to copy other people work but the things that are given to us free from the nature.

Encore Sans Pro / fresh new sans

2009-02-18T01:24:00.000-08:00

Encore Sans Pro // By parachute fonts
This is a brand new contemporary typeface by parachute, a perfect alternative to your overused classic sans. Encore Sans Pro does not pretend being different but it does claim its own personality. It is simple and stylish. Encore Sans Pro is a humanistic sans-serif which projects an image of reliability, authority and competence making it ideal for corporate applications. A functional typeface which combines utility with style. Its subtle round characteristics such as the slightly curved-in edges, create a distinctly contemporary look, blending effectively traditional with modern details. Encore Sans Pro is extremely versatile. It comes with 22 weights and supports simultaneously Latin, Greek and Cyrillic. Each font contains 1518 glyphs and is loaded with 22 advanced opentype features. Extreme weights, such as the elegant hairline, are carefully designed to establish an even color throughout, while ultra black despite its heavy characteristics is quite legible and powerful. Other intermediate weights such as light and book are ideal as body text for magazines and catalogs.

10 best typeface design of 2008

2009-01-01T11:49:00.000-08:00

The new year offers a pretext to reconsider all the creations carried out during the last year. Beautiful creations to tell the truth, in all the fields and in particular in that of typographical creation.
Rich and varied work, having each one their specificities, their functions and their styles. Original work which particularly allured me and I want to make you profit in this article.
Discover in the continuation, 10 creations typographical which held my attention this year 2008.

PF Centra Pro

The project of the Centro character began in 2005 by Central Serif then was packed for finally leading to three families of characters: the Central one, Central Serif and Central Slab. The award winning typeface of 2008 at the ED Awards.
An article on the making of of the project is available on the blog of the Parachute foundry which created this great typeface.

FF Netto

Created by Daniel Utz for the Font foundry Make, FF Netto wants to be minimalist: to remove any historical detail to preserve only the essential components.
A function thus, which has as an ambition to simplify the form for a better legibility of the characters.
Equipped with a series with pictograms and arrows, FF Netto is an ideal for the creation of descriptive.

SOHO Gothic

The series of pig iron and cast iron SOHO Gothic is the last stage of project SOHO, drawn by Sebastian Lester.
This family of character proposes seven different, Italic greases included/understood, and is distributed by the Monotype foundry.
For the people wishing to discover the Sebastian designer To ballast, a very good interview comes to be published on site I Coils Typography.

Gloriola

Resolutely contemporary, the family of Gloriola characters was created by the independent foundry Suitcase
A typography without sérif which proposes seven different greases, and which of course makes use of all the possibilities of OpenType by offering small capitals, bindings and a set of alternative styles.
A very beautiful font which was recognized like one of the most beautiful creation of the year 2008 by prestigious Type Director Club.

Skolar

The Skolar was created to allow the publication of information educational goal in various languages. It was created by the Czech designer http://davi.cz " >David Březina and preceded this year of a ED Awards in the category “Prints Original”.
It offers in addition to its many glyphes a multitude of descriptive arrows.

Benton Modern Display

Inspired by Century Expanded of Morris Fuller Benton, the family of characters Benton Modern Display was drawn by Dyana Weissman and Richard Lipton for the foundry Font Office.
A colossal work created for a use in the press or the magazines, which is declined in 36 different styles.

Archer

One of my favorite and about which we already spoke here: Archer, by Hoefler & Brother-Jones.
A mécane full with charm which draws the best from the lesson of the past, but which is integrated perfectly into a contemporary creation.

Katarine

Another creation of quality realized by the Czech foundry Suitcase: Katarine.
Taking as a starting point the structure of DIN or Trade Gothic, it is perfect for a use on a poster for example.
The Katarine offers it also a diversity of style, and even a play of alternative style.

Le Monde Without, Le Monde Mail & Le Monde Deliver

Not one, but three families of characters created by French Jean-François Porchez with whom I had discussed a few months ago.
Three families of characters which are followed but do not resemble and a multitude of styles provision. In short a gigantic work but the result is with the height!

Leitura

The last family of character of this selection should not appear in it, since actually it was published the last year.
Nevertheless it is of a very complete and a great quality, which gives him all its place in this list.
Drawn by Dino Back Santos, Leitura is made up of 6 different alphabets: Leitura, Leitura Display, Leitura Headline, Leitura News, Leitura Without and Leitura Symbols.

A splendid work which was selected the year spent by Typographica like one of most beautiful the typographical creation of 2007.

Real Eyes, Realize, Real Lies

2008-12-09T04:49:00.000-08:00

Βράδυ Σαββάτου, οι τηλεοπτικοί σταθμοί διακόπτουν τα προγράμματά τους. Χτυπήθηκε ένας νεαρός στα Εξάρχεια, μεταδίδουν. Αναφέρονται σε συμπλοκή αντιεξουσιαστών με την αστυνομία, το κάνουν να φαίνεται ως ένα «ατύχημα», που προέκυψε εξαιτίας των «ανεγκέφαλων γνωστών αγνώστων», όπως αρέσκονται τα –εν πολλοίς κατευθυνόμενα- μέσα να τους αποκαλούν. Κακό το παραμύθι τους, κι ας είχε δράκο.

Η ατυχία των αστυνομικών που πήγαν να τσαμπουκαλευτούν με μια παρέα πιτσιρικάδων στα Εξάρχεια είναι ότι αυτή τη φορά δεν βρήκαν το μόνιμο άλλοθι της «αυτοπροστασίας», της πρόκλησης από κουκουλοφόρους με μολότοφ, στην οποία αναγκάστηκαν να απαντήσουν. Ούτε κουκουλοφόροι ήταν οι νεαροί, απέναντι στους οποίους πυροβόλησαν, ούτε μολότοφ κρατούσαν. Νέα παιδιά ήταν, οπλισμένα με πλαστικά μπουκάλια νερό και μπύρες. .

Παραγωγικός ρόλος
Βράδυ Κυριακής, η τηλεόραση έχει πλέον αλλάξει ρότα και θρηνεί για το αθώο παιδί που χάθηκε. Ο Λάκης Λαζόπουλος, στον Alpha λέει ότι «η βιτρίνα της Δημοκρατίας μας κατέρρευσε». Οι οθόνες γεμίζουν εικόνες παρακμής, μανίας και καταστροφής. Τα κανάλια από υστερικές φωνές ώριμων σχολιαστών, πολιτικών, δημοσιογράφων, που παραθέτουν δακρύβρεχτα κλισέ για τον αδικοχαμένο Αλέξη, πριν αρχίσουν να ωρύονται για τις περιουσίες των ανθρώπων που χάνονται. Η ζωή ενός μαθητή μπαίνει στη ζυγαριά απέναντι στις «περιουσίες των ανθρώπων». .

Η κρίση κορυφώνεται, η τηλεόραση συνεχίζει να παίζει το δικό της -παραγωγικό- ρόλο. Οι ενήλικοι, οι σοβαροί, οι ώριμοι, οι διαμορφωτές της κοινής γνώμης απαιτούν από νέους 15, 16, 17 ή 18 ετών να σέβονται περιουσίες, όταν οι ώριμοι 40άρηδες που πληρώνονται από το κράτος για να τους προστατεύσουν, σηκώνουν ανενδοίαστα πιστόλι και πυροβολούν εναντίον τους. .

Και ζητούν ευθύνες από εξεγερμένους 16άρηδες, που έχουν μόλις συνειδητοποιήσει με τον πλέον σκληρό τρόπο το μέγεθος της ανασφάλειας που τους προσφέρει το κράτος, ενώ οι ίδιοι, αν και ώριμοι, δεν έχουν ούτε τη λογική ούτε την ευαισθησία να σιωπήσουν μπροστά στην απώλεια ενός παιδιού που τιμωρήθηκε με την εσχάτη των ποινών επειδή βρέθηκε βράδυ Σαββάτου στα Εξάρχεια.

Ερευνάται ο χώρος
Δυστυχώς, η ανοησία είναι αήττητη. Αποδείχτηκε για άλλη μια φορά περίτρανα, όχι μόνο στην περίπτωση των αστυνομικών, που ανενδοίαστα σήκωσαν πιστόλι. Ακόμα χειρότερα στην περίπτωση πολιτικών, δημοσιογράφων ή άλλων σοβαρών ενήλικων, που βρήκαν ευκαιρία να μοστράρουν εαυτόν στις κάμερες και να πουλήσουν λαϊκισμό με την ελπίδα να εξαργυρώσουν σε οπαδούς με αφορμή την απώλεια ενός παιδιού στο δρόμο. .

Η βουλευτής κυρία Κατερίνα Παπακώστα, βρέθηκε πρωί πρωί Κυριακής σε τηλεοπτικό πάνελ. Και απέναντι σε ένα δολοφονημένο 15χρονο βρήκε να σχολιάσει με νόημα ότι «δεν ξέρουμε σε ποιον πολιτικό χώρο ανήκε»!

Επαναλαμβάνω: σφαίρα αστυνομικού σκοτώνει άοπλο μαθητή, ο οποίος δεν έχει ακόμα κλείσει τα 16, και εκλεγμένη από το λαό εκπρόσωπος της κυβερνητικής παράταξης βγαίνει στην τηλεόραση και ψάχνει να βρει σε ποιο πολιτικό χώρο ανήκε το θύμα λες και αυτό είναι που κάνει τη διαφορά! .

Δυστυχώς για την κυρία Παπακώστα και τους ομοίους της, το θύμα προήλθε από το τερατώδες σύστημα που δημιούργησαν και υπερασπίζονται με κάθε τρόπο. Ένα σύστημα που δεν κάνει διακρίσεις, αλλά τρώει τα ίδια τα παιδιά του. Ακόμα και με σφαίρες αστυνομικών.

Συμβαίνουν….
Θυμάμαι εκείνη την αποφράδα εθνική επέτειο της 25ης Μαρτίου, που είχε συμπέσει χρονικά με βαριά εντός έδρας ήττα της Εθνικής ομάδας ποδοσφαίρου από το αντίστοιχο συγκρότημα της Τουρκίας, Θυμάμαι την οργίλη αντίδραση πολιτικών σε εκείνη την ήττα. Θυμάμαι τον πρώην Υπουργό Γεράσιμο Γιακουμάτο να βγαίνει και να ωρύεται αγανακτισμένος, απαιτώντας την αποπομπή και τη δημόσια συγγνώμη του Ρεχάγκελ, χαρακτηρίζοντας ΚΑΠΗ τους παίκτες της ομάδας και ζητώντας την παραδειγματική τιμωρία τους για το πλήγμα που κατάφεραν στο εθνικό μας γόητρο. .

Ο ίδιος κ. Γιακουμάτος πήρε πολύ πιο ψύχραιμα τη δολοφονία 15χρονου από αστυνομικό από μια ήττα στην μπάλα. «Συμβαίνουν αυτά» ακούστηκε να λέει στον τηλεοπτικό «αέρα» του Mega. .

Όταν έτσι λειτουργούν οι εκλεγμένοι από μας κυβερνώντες σοβαροί ενήλικοι, μετά μας φταίνε οι ανήλικοι που κατεβαίνουν στους δρόμους και τα βάζουν με τους πάντες και τα πάντα;

Δικαιωμένη!
Και ως κερασάκι στην τούρτα, εμφανίζεται η γνωστή ηγετική μορφή του αντιεξουσιαστικού αγώνα, Αννίτα Πάνια, η οποία βρίσκει την ευκαιρία να παρουσιαστεί δικαιωμένη, διότι τα έλεγε αυτή! Και -ω της αηδίας!- να θυμίσει την δική της περιπέτεια με την τροχαία, για να καταλήξει πως αν δεν ήταν επώνυμη, μπορεί σήμερα να ήταν δολοφονημένη (κι αυτή κι ο Καρβέλας -κι άντε μετά να προχωρήσει η αντίσταση!). Αφού πούλησε αυτή την ωραία επαναστατική μόστρα, επανήλθε στο ανεκτίμητο τηλεοπτικό έργο της, καλώντας κοντά της το επόμενο παρατράγουδο…

Υ.Γ.: Στιγμιότυπο από τη μαθητική πορεία, το πρωί της Δευτέρας, όπως μου το μετέφερε αυτόπτης μάρτυρας. Οι μαθητές προχωρούν ειρηνικά, αλλά φωνάζοντας συνεχώς υβριστικά συνθήματα για τους αστυνομικούς. Κάποιοι από αυτούς παρατηρούν σε μια γωνία μέλος διμοιρίας των ΜΑΤ να βάζει μπροστά την ασπίδα του, να κρύβει το πρόσωπό του και να κλαίει. Θύμα κι αυτός των ίδιων δράκων.

How you fall doesn't matter. It's how you land!

2008-12-08T03:07:00.000-08:00

Jusqu'ici tout va bien ... Jusqu'ici tout va bien ... Jusqu'ici tout va bien. Il n'y a pas de question comment vous l'automne. C'est la façon dont vous la terre!

I know this does has nothing to do with typography, graphic design, on street art.
This acts in the streets of my town.
My city is not like this its a peaceful capital, but last Saturday night at 21:10 in an area named Exarhia a kid at the age of 15 were killed by a police officer No the young boy didn't carry a knife or a gun but the kid had the worst and strongest weapon with him, it was his speech. In my country we say something that "the speech has not bones, but it brakes bones". Ad an police office could not fight that kid so he pulled his gun out an shot the kid. Yes its possible a kid to stronger than a 37 years old police officer.
After the shooting riots started people went to the street full of anger against the police brutality, eventually on the sight of police the things got worse
you can read it all over the news such as bbc, cnn but on the most of them there is a small mention about the police force and the death of a young boy

SO YOUNG SO STRONG

Helvetica Marker

2008-12-02T13:54:00.000-08:00

Ahhhh… technology. The geniuses at Plexifilm have spent the past two years developing a Sharpie pen that actually writes in Helvetica! This pen is so experimental that it’s priceless… literally. You can’t buy one, but you can get one free with any Helvetica merchandise purchase (DVD, T-shirt, etc.). Get your free pen while they last. It’s a great gift for that person in your life with sloppy handwriting…

Banksy in New York City?

2008-10-16T05:44:00.000-07:00

The British street artist superstar Banksy have been seen in the streets of New York creating MASSIVE HUGE murals. His popular character trademark "rat" seen downtown New York. The thing from my point of view is that his artwork was appeared on legally rented walls and were painted, as we all seen his work was only illegal what happen this time? He made so much money that he rent buildings to paint them? It is safer ? Of course this action gathered people to see him (if he is really banksy?)
Is he the really banksy and why now be became legal "street artist"?

the most expensive street installation

2008-10-01T09:45:00.000-07:00

Obsessions make my life worse and my work better
In September 2008 Sagmeister Inc. is participating in Droog Event 2: Urban Play. The public art installation will consist of 250.000 eurocents placed on the floor, covering more than 300sqm on a square in Amsterdam (>Map). The coins will spell out the sentence “Obsessions make my life worse and my work better”. The piece is part of the series “Things I have learned in my life so far” by Stefan Sagmeister.
From September 14-21 this blog will document the process of setting up the piece, and will then feature live webcam images of the installation.Details

The design is created using four different shades of pennies. We first sort them by color, then lay them out on the tiles. you can download the original design (zip, 4.4MB).
After the piece is completely set up we will leave it alone, on the street. We expect the piece to slowly dissolve as people take coins, play with them, alter the design. All coins have been painted on the back with a bright blue permanent color.

police business
It seems that the Amsterdam police were called by a resident of one of the overlooking buildings early Sunday morning to report that someone was “stealing an artwork”. As the story goes, people were pocketing a few of the coins, which was also expected, but things got a bit out of hand when a resident saw this happening. So the police responded, and, in a rather bizarre instance of police efficiency, they proceeded to “secure” the artwork, by sweeping up the entire installation.

new bodoni script pro from Parachute fonts

2008-09-10T19:20:00.000-07:00

The online version of Bodoni Script Pro has just been released. Based on Bodoni’s distinct swash capitals, this is not simply a digital version of his work, as this typeface was designed with connected lowercase characters and capitals with extra calligraphic elements. It was first released back in 2002 and published in Parachute’s award-winning catalog/book IDEA/Trendsetting Typography vol.1. Later in 2005 a large number of ornaments and borders was revived. All this work was left behind until recently when it was revisited to create a complete 'Pro' family. Several new uppercase and lowercase glyphs were designed in order to make it stand out on its own. Bodoni Script Pro is a (3+1)-weight superfamily. It supports 10 special opentype features including 'contextual alternates' as well as support for both Latin and Greek. Each font comes with 725 glyphs including a large number of alternates as well as 144 ornaments. The full package includes an additional 'bonus font' which contains 120 frame parts. These parts, when put together, create some truly amazing borders.Bodoni Script Pro Parachute's blog

Best typeface for 2008

2008-06-05T02:34:00.000-07:00

This is the the best typeface of the year, winner of the Original Typeface 2008 Ed Awards 08 Stockholm Sweden

"PF Centro Pro is a type system, not just a type family. This large series of 40 fonts with 1519 characters each, is composed of 3 superfamilies (serif, sans and slab), includes true italics and supports Latin, Greek and Cyrillic. It is an almost ‘invisible’ typeface which has legibility as its main attribute and is ideal for a wide range of design works. It does not attract any unnecessary attention, but rather serves its purpose. A rare case of contemporary type family working across three alphabets, Centro Pro meets an ever-growing demand for such typefaces among pan-European companies and institutions”.
