Fifty Designers Favourite Typfaces

Friday, July 11th, 2008

An awesome project setup by Create/Reject, the creative home of James West, to raise money for the victims of the cyclone that hit Myanmar (Burmar). All proceeds are heading straight to Unicef to help fund their huge support and relief effort helping out the victims of the cyclone. All sold out online now, which is great news for Unicef but sadly not so good if you wanted a copy,… but you can still by the book from Koenig Books in Charing Cross Road and Artwords Bookshop in Shoreditch, so get down there quick!

Wordle - Create a word cloud

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

Found this nice website over on the Escape blog

Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends.
