Design from Brooklyn with Love

From the director of Helvetica, comes Objectified. Look out for it early 2009.

Switzerland’s Set 26, goes beyond Helvetica and puts a new spin on learning your ABC’s.

Ahh, it’s so easy to satisfy one’s vintage flight attendant fetish these days. Here’s another fantastic collection and a few samples below.

Radiohead never ceases to amaze. Their new video for “House of Cards” bypasses cameras altogether in favor of Geometric Informatics and Velodyne Lidar. What the f%*^k is that, you say.

“The Geometric Informatics scanning system employs structured light to capture detailed 3D images at close proximity, and was used to render the performances of Radiohead’s Thom Yorke, the female lead, and several partygoers. The Velodyne Lidar system uses multiple lasers to capture large environments in 3D, in this case 64 lasers rotating and shooting in a 360 degree radius 900 times per minute, capturing all of the exterior scenes and wide party shots.”

Of course.

Way to go PES eaters! This is the kewlest thing I’ve seen on the interwebs in a while. Check out Western Spaghetti by PES. Stop motion animation hasn’t looked this delicious since Gumby. What? Am I the only one? Here we have the latest in peeps spending way too much time doing stuff for no good reason except to make something that’s enormously cool. I guess that’s one way to spend your hours. That and watching another (maybe last?) good season of Project Runway. Please to enjoy! + =Deliciousness!

I guess the advertisers have finally truly succeeded. It’s a sign when their concepts and messages begin appearing on bathroom stalls around the world, re-appropriated by the scribbly hands of the originally intended audience.

I found the image below in a men’s room stall of a movie theater last weekend. It pictures a grad-to-be and his Mom, a humble advertisement for Careers and Colleges. But much to my amusement, someone had artfully overlaid, in red and black Sharpie marker, the unmistakable smirk of The Joker. I find it interesting, due in large part to the fact that the lowly originator of the advertisement has been trumped, uninitiated, by the viewers (now participators) of a greater advertising campaign—and at no added cost to the latter. A reminder that the business of advertising is no laughing matter.

I don’t attend many, but this one I would consider…

Found on Fontblog.

The blog of New York found typography and lettering, nyctype.com, is back up and running after a minor hiatus.

Reading the blog i love typography has been a pleasure of late. Today I caught up with the blog’s weekly summary of type notables, stumbling upon a site that made me feel like a kid again. That is a notable feat in itself—especially from a website. Thus, Tim Fishlock deserves to be shared.
