Alessandro Novelli is back with ‘The Alphabet II’
When we wrote about Italian multidisciplinary director/designer Alessandro Novelli‘s animated typography experiment “The Alphabet” a few months ago, he was already working on the second installment. We’re excited to bring you “The Alphabet II,” this time using objects and ideas such as “biscuit,” “equilibrium,” “magnetism,” “quicksand,” “yeti” and “zero” to represent each letter of the alphabet. Furthermore >Mini binding guides are free with a tweet
These fold-it-yourself booklets, created by UK-based The Media Collective are available for download. The charge? One tweet. Visit here to get the handy guides, then follow the instructions on how to fold the sheets into an 8-page mini binding guide. Furthermore >Destination: Pat Reagh’s scenic, sassy shower
[Alyson Kuhn] Letterpress printer Pat (a.k.a. P@) Reagh likes to play with words. So, he wrote a parody of Beatrice Warde’s famed “This is a printing office” broadside, in homage to his remodeled shower. May you smile while you read this tile! Furthermore >Send miniature letters & packages with the World’s Smallest Post Service
We’re all anxiously and nervously awaiting Congress’ decision regarding the fate of the USPS (find out how you can get involved here). Until we know our post offices are safe (they will be … they must be! Right?), you may want to set up your own, smaller-scale, post service. And when I say smaller-scale, the one I have in mind is tiny. Furthermore >PANTONE: The 20th Century in Color
[Alyson Kuhn] Leatrice Eiseman and Keith Recker are prominent color forecasters, which is to say they create palette concepts that forecast trends for businesses and product designers. Chromatically speaking, they are fairly forward focused. But last year they also made time to write an encyclopedic, lavishly illustrated book that looks back at color. PANTONE: The 20th Century in Color, published by Chronicle Books, offers up 100 years of fashion, art, design and politics represented by 80 palettes, 300 images … and 500 colors. Eiseman and Recker took us on tour through their magnum opus. Furthermore >Coincidence … or conspiracy?
Last Friday I wrote here about musically themed graphical treasures rediscovered after moving. Our alert Felt & Wire colleague Alyson Kuhn discovered that my article’s publication date — Sept. 23 — is the birthday of two of the performers featured in the piece. Furthermore > |
