Better late than never…!

October 27, 2008

I am quite aware at the fact that the due for the second part of this module was due sometime back on 10th of October, it is a pity I never got around to upload the finished sets of typography but here it is:

702 - H&C

702 - H&C

‘702 – (Handle and Cap)’ – The font is made out of the cap for which you speak into, screwed onto the receiver of the phone; along with the metallic handle in which could be found on the top of the phone itself.

AND…

702 - R&C

702 - R&C

‘702 – (Receiver and Cord)’ – Self-explanatory, font made by arranging the telephone receiver and the cord into the alphabet itself.

Hardly a practical fonts but there you go, pieced out from the set guidelines from the brief.

Here is the site.

Stumbled upon this really neat website that is ’sort-of’ similar to ‘Typography Kicks Ass’, except, instead of sending messages in to the site for it to randomly generate its alphabets, this site allows a direct interaction with the fonts, allowing you to pick and drag the words into a panel for instant preview. Really neat site.

This site will definitely serve as an important reference source for upcoming works.

‘Lego Font Creator’

I happened to stumble across this really neat application that allows the interaction with Lego blocks done by Lineto over at Objetgraphik. The application itself is actually quite sophisticated:

I’m sure many out there are familiar with this site with a huge collection of vernacular type messages submitted by viewers but just thought I’ll add the link here for future references:

Here are a couple really neat designs done with typography:
