Slumdog typography, Bollywood dance
Finally saw Slumdog Millionaire. Really enjoyed the (Oscar winning) Jai Ho dance number (and titles) at the end of the film.

‘I’m Comic Sans, asshole’
Great post over at McSweeney’s – written by Comic Sans. Enjoy it here.
I actually like Comic Sans. It’s not great, but I love its unintentional subversive nature. It just gets used a whole lot for really stupid stuff. By people who don’t know what they hell they’re doing. But I’d absolutely love one of my fonts to be as notorious.
OEM licensing for Chandler 42 anyone?

Zapfino: Really fast
‘Real time: 1 hour 28 minutes, footage was recorded nonstop in one sitting. I was going as fast as I could so there are some imperfections here and there.’
Student Tony Wang’s final project from my experimental typography course at The Art Institute of California Sacramento. Tony spent the past eleven weeks doing a multifaceted study of the work of Hermann Zapf.
It culminated in the above video – vector-based drawings/tracings of Zapfino caps.
Each drawing was hand rendered (no live trace) in Adobe Illustrator. (For my beginning courses, students have to draft letterforms by hand with pencil/compass. Tony’s beautifully realized final is the next logical step in the process.)
