drawings




I finally picked up my hand to draw. Every time I left it for some time and picked up again, I felt a bit strange to a piece of white paper. Drawing is courage-oriented indeed. When you draw, you don't want your drawing look bad. But the trick is the more hard you are trying, the more boring of your drawing is! But when you do it accidently or sometimes crazilly, the result is always surprising. It's that kind of uncertainty and exploration that makes me like it a lot...

Flama


A flash of idea comes to mind, I may introduce a type forum which may introduce new typefaces that I found, talk and anything interesting about this topic. I am thinking to name this forum. What do you think if you see this post? I will appreciate for any suggestion! To start with, I will introduce the FTF Flama™ which "is a straightfull sans serif initially designed for signage mixing aspects of both, European and American sans serifs. FTF Flama proves to be highly efficient for signage, corporate as well as for editorial design." Try a typeface with European touch and check this out! link

Helvetica


"Helvetica" is a feature-length independent film about typography, graphic design and global visual culture. It looks at the proliferation of one typeface (which will celebrate its 50th birthday in 2007) as part of a larger conversation about the way type affects our lives. The film is an exploration of urban spaces in major cities and the type that inhabits them, and a fluid discussion with renowned designers about their work, the creative process, and the choices and aesthetics behind their use of type. It's so good that we saw this film in Berlin and heard the comments from those great designers in the film. The DVD will be probably be released worldwide this fall. Here are some clips, check this out... link

A week trip of job searching in London.

No regret! And I am looking forward to hearing from them... link
