I’ve had this line and this idea for color concept/typography expression stuck in my head for days…
Something I’ve been meaning to design, I guess. Thanks Jay Electronica!
I’m a big fan of Clay Larsen’s “Work Hard and Be Kind” piece (as inspired of the Conan O’Brien Farewll Speech, which I’m also a big fan of). So I decided to add on (as inspired by both).
I think this part is so key.
We know Mrs. Eaves was Baskerville’s mistress. We didn’t know Mrs. Eaves had a man all of her own.
Mr. Eaves.
He’s relatively new to the world, but, Mr. Eaves Sans will remind you of Mrs. Eaves and Gill Sans. But poppa’s got a brand new bag! Mr Eaves Modern will remind you of Mrs. Eaves and Futura. Bringing together a breath of Transitional Serif into Humanist and Geometric sans serifs? Genius. And they look so good doing it!
This is fucking garbage. It reminds me of this quote from I Heart Huckabees:(via todayslyrics)My first attempt at a “Sexy Sex Thursday” post
Tommy Corn: I don’t know. He gave you a brain too and you messed that up pretty damn good.
Except, instead of a brain, it’s the option key and the ability to individually kern letters.
This is what my life has come to. Having to pick an appropriate Caslon. It won’t matter anyways, because in everyone else’s eyes, I always seem to pick the right type face.
Mind you, “everyone else” is still a group of students that seem destined to make Family Circle ads and brochures for private schools, but fuck it, I’ll throw a pity party if I want to.
One of two (for now) handset typefaces that I purchased from youworkforthem.com. They’re so beautiful, I want to buy them all. This one is called Hllvtka.The only thing that could go wrong is if you have two of the same letters right next to each other. A terrible sentence to typeset would be
“Green Day’s Dookie has the best 90’s hooks.”
You get the idea, but most definitely not “THE WAY IT’S MEANT TO BE.”
My first After Effects project ever. All of the kids here on a Visa laughed at the immature part. SCORE!
I used Din, a German typeface that is used on all highway and railroad signage in Germany. The typeface was chosen based on a conceptual narrative: an “Act of God” insurance case involving A Mercedes-Benz, a German made car, being crushed by a blown up beached whale.
I had learned of this story by word of mouth, so whether it happened or not, or if it was even a Mercedes-Benz, remains to be actually known. At the very least I have a great conceptual narrative based upon a tall tale.
The production of the piece allows it to be looped for an infinite number of plays, with seamless integration between the last frame and the first frame.
