Rubber magnets were cut out with an X-Acto knife and attached to a sheet of paper. Another piece of paper was then laid on top of this. The iron filings were sprinkled from a shaker and attracted to the magnets creating lyrics from the Bonnie "Prince" Billy song – 'Even if Love'
"I was surprised by the sheer variety of type styles I discovered on my journey. Even though all road signage systems are intended to be as legible as possible, there appears to be no consensus on how to achieve this in terms of type treatment.
Some road signs used grid-based typefaces, some were extremely wide geometric typefaces with the simpler forms of a and g, some very thin, and some very heavy."
it doesn't fair very well on a windows machine, but it was built quickly, and it was built for a select few people who were known to be running osx and chrome, specifically.
great work, i'm sure you'll agree (unless you are on a windows machine, heh).
All 250,000 of New York City’s street signs will get a ‘typeface-lift’ to feature a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters in the font ‘Clearview (ClearviewHwy)’, on reflective surfaces.
The typeface Clearview was created by designers Donald Meeker and James Montalbano in 1990s, together with Thomas D Larson Pennsylvania Transportation Institute and Texas A&M Transportation Institute.
“With its crisp, clean design, Clearview represents exactly what its name suggests,” Janette Sadik-Khan, NYC’s transportation commissioner, said in a statement. “Whether through our signs, markings or sidewalks, we’re bringing clarity and simplicity to street design.”
The Sony Music Timeline celebrates 125 years of musical history covering almost 150 square meters of wall space in Sony’s Derry Street offices. Using just CNC cut vinyl as the sole medium, 54 columns measuring over 2 meters tall cover feature nearly 1000 of Sony Music's signed artists from 1887 to the present day.
