Meta Serif Dot Com
I think this is the first time a typeface has had it’s own dedicated site. Metaserif.com is the site for the new font by Erik Spiekermann. It contains a great section on the story of Meta Serif.
Hiruko Typeface
Alex of Thinkdust informed me about an elegant new typeface family that he designed called Hiruko. It comes in a variety of styles including Regular, Alternative, Light, Oblique, and soon Heavy, Medium, and Outline. You can purchase the fonts at the site.
Ringling College Admissions Catalog
This is probably the most beautiful college admissions catalogue I’ve ever seen. Absolutely gorgeous. It was designed by Lucas Human, Phil Clark, and Jenn Levreault during their senior year. The three traveled to Bologna, Italy to oversee the press check at Zincographica. You can request a free copy at www.ringling.edu.
A Redesign is a Comin’
UPDATE
I just flipped the switch and moved everything over so it should all be done. Let me know if you find anything that looks weird, especially those of you on a PC. Enjoy.
Yup… again. I’m starting to grow out of this current design. I need something more flexible with more real estate for the posts and for side widgets. Better typography and usability as well.
You’ll notice that I’ve also begun to prepare the most recent posts to work with the new design. I’m setting some visual standards. A slight change in how I write out the headlines. Previously I use to capitalize all the words in a title including “a”, “the”, “of”, “is”, “on” and so on. Now I’m using a form of Title Casing where the first and last words in the title are capitalized as well as any word four or more letters. I’m also setting an image height of 700px for consistency. You’ll see what I mean when I launch the new design.
It’s pretty much done, I’m just making some final tweaks and I’ll probably flip the switch tomorrow evening. I hope you guys dig it.
Pentagram Redesigns the Khaleej Times
Luke Hayman and Paula Scher of the New York Pentagram office have redesigned the Persian Gulf’s leading English language newspaper, the Khaleej Times. The new design makes use of the space saving typeface, Freight by Joshua Darden, and a wider 6 column grid.
I’d love to one day redesign a newspaper. Text and grid heavy project is paradise.
