Born is a mediterranean typeface open to new times

Fonts2u.com Invisible | Otro sitio de WordPress Responsive X11 color name palette Well the funny thing about X11 color names is that...it is unknown who originally compiled the list. There is no continuity either in selected color values or in color names, and many color triplets have multiple names. However, it is very useful to graphic designers. I personally find it equivalent to color systems used in print-albeit with a limited color range. You can use this page like a handy swatch library while writing CSS, or you can load it on your smartphone and use it as a handy reference. PS: I have tested it on the latest versions of Google Chrome, Safari and Mozilla Firefox. Many thanks to Charis Tsevis, Notis Fragopoulos, Kyriakos Kanellos, Nantia Louka and Kostas Penlidis for providing me with valuable feedback on the project

Beautiful Type "People who don't like Comic Sans don't know anything about design" Interview: ahead of his talk at London's V&A museum on Friday, typographer Vincent Connare talks to Dezeen about creating the typeface that designers love to hate. Vincent Connare was one of the early pioneers of digital typeface design, working on fonts for Agfa and Apple in the early 1990s before joining Microsoft, where he designed both the web-friendly Trebuchet font family and the now infamous Comic Sans MS. "It was important at Microsoft to show people how things could be done. The group back then were doing things five years or more ahead of everybody," Connare told Dezeen. Originally designed in 1994 to fill in the speech bubbles in a programme called Microsoft Bob, which featured a cartoon dog that offered tips on how to use a computer, Comic Sans was based on the hand lettering in comic books that Connare had lying around in his office. "I was asked to comment on what I thought of the use of typography in this new application. What the Font? Vincent Connare: No.

Banki z darmowymi zdjęciami | Klosinski.net To już na szczęście przeszłość. Systematycznie pojawiają się nowe serwisy zbierające i udostępniające darmowe fotografie, a prezentowany przez nie poziom potrafi pozytywnie zaskoczyć. Od jakiegoś czasu tworzę dla siebie taką podręczną listę miejsc najbardziej wartych uwagi i chętnie się nią z Wami podzielę. Takich spisów powstało już ostatnio kilka, ale żaden nie jest wystarczająco kompleksowy i zredagowany tak, jak bym chciał. Co nam wolno Zanim zaczniemy dobierać się do darmowych zdjęć warto wiedzieć jakie niesie to za sobą konsekwencje. „Najpopularniejszym obecnie systemem licencjonowania praw autorskich są tzw. licencje Creative Commons.

"I try to make new forms of life," says Strandbeests creator Theo Jansen Interview: Dutch sculptor Theo Jansen has spent the last 24 years developing a series of wind-powered machines called Strandbeests that he describes as "a new species on Earth". Dezeen caught up with him on Miami Beach last week, where he explained how his creations are now evolving without his help (+ movie). "I try to make new forms of life which live on beaches," said the Dutch artist. He explained how the idea first came to him when writing a newspaper column exploring ways to prevent erosion of the sand dunes in Holland. "I raised the idea that there could be skeletons on the beach, which were driven by the wind, and they would gather sand to build up the dunes," Jansen said. He later started building such machines himself using plastic tubing from DIY stores, but quickly forgot about the original purpose of the "beests" and instead became fascinated by the possibility of creating a new species of man-made animal. "Surviving is the purpose," said Jansen, 66. Theo Jansen: Yes.

¿Las fronteras de Google? | EL PAÍS Semanal ampliar foto Google Maps visto en EE UU (izquierda), China e India. La artista Javiera Pintocanales en realidad pinta mapas. Y los contiene en libros porque cree “que son máquinas perfectas para convertirlo todo a una escala manejable, una interrelación entre lo inabarcable y tu mano”. Desde su taller provisional y nómada de Barcelona se ha embarcado en varios proyectos que dan buena cuenta de esa fe. Los mapas nunca han sido inocentes. Hace siglos que las fronteras se pixelan.
