Miniature
I really enjoy this stuff.
Many years ago I designed a large mural (in Photoshop) that was supposed to look like a bad movie miniature. TiltShiftMaker does it automatically. Or here’s instructions on doing it yourself.
And when I was a kid, my Uncle John had made the coolest train platform for under his Christmas tree. In it he employed his own take on HO scale suburban zoning – with a detailed downtown, country farms, residential section (in the hills, by a lake) and two circular tracks linking everything.
All the images shown are real, just TiltShifted into looking fake. More here.
The mehallo font library at Typekit
Recently, I made most of my font library available for the web via Typekit.
The list is here.
Thru TypeKit web designers can (legally) embed my fonts as html text at any website. Here’s a site that’s using Chandler 42.
Typekit has 4 subscription options; with a free trial plan available. Note: My fonts are only available through the Portfolio plan and higher.
For more info, drop by Typekit. Subscribe to their blog for updates.
And
Here’s a review at Webmonkey that does a good job explaining what all this font embedding hoohah is about.
This is crazy
I apologize for this.
On January 17, I sent out emails to the winners of my font contest. And heard nothing. Never knew if they did get my fonts. Finally heard back, nada. It looks like spam filters may have caught what was sent.
So if you were a winner in my font contest – the winners are listed here – I have now sent the fonts to your email address via YouSendIt. Please contact me if you do not receive and we can try carrier pigeon or something.
Alphabet ears
Sketches by dr. mendez and nurse wickland
I think our lowercase g is our screwiest letter. It evolved into something quite odd. It has parts that other letters do not have. It also has an ear. It’s often drawn just like a dog’s ear.
Two of my students have been pondering (above) other letters that should have ears.
