Typography is not only about what font to use, or how it “looks” – it’s about making a text easier to read.

Contemporary free display font Archive
Posted Jan 30th, 2012 By +Frank Neulichedl in Featured for Designers With |
I like the all caps display font called Archive because it has a great balance in weight, modern elements and readability.
As seen in the examples it works great if you age it, but I think it might show it’s best use as a logo font for a tech startup that doesn’t want to get lost in the see of soft shapes and script fonts.

Easy scanning without alignment just by swiping your mouse
Posted Jan 30th, 2012 By +Frank Neulichedl in Featured for Designers With |
Ok, not with every mouse – but with this new mouse from LG you can scan in a casual fashion. There have been hand scanners in the past, but the software wasn’t that flexible. I like this approach very much.
I find it especially useful for home offices, where you need to scan sometimes something but don’t have the space for a full flat bed scanner.

Walt Disney and Salvador Dali – Destiny (Destino) – a 58 year production – very surreal, of course, and fascinating to watch…
The film tells the story of Chronos, the personification of time and the inability to realize his desire to love for a mortal. The scenes blend a series of surreal paintings of Dali with dancing and metamorphosis. The target production began in 1945, 58 years before its completion and was a collaboration between Walt Disney and the Spanish surrealist painter, Salvador Dalí. Salvador Dali and Walt Disney Destiny was produced by Dali and John Hench for 8 months between 1945 and 1946.
Dali, at the time, Hench described as a “ghostly figure” who knew better than Dali or the secrets of the Disney film. For some time, the project remained a secret. The work of painter Salvador Dali was to prepare a six-minute sequence combining animation with live dancers and special effects for a movie in the same format of “Fantasia.” Dali in the studio working on The Disney characters are fighting against time, the giant sundial that emerges from the great stone face of Jupiter and that determines the fate of all human novels. Dalí and Hench were creating a new animation technique, the cinematic equivalent of “paranoid critique” of Dali. Method inspired by the work of Freud on the subconscious and the inclusion of hidden and double images.
Dalí said: “Entertainment highlights the art, its possibilities are endless.” The plot of the film was described by. Dalí as “A magical display of the problem of life in the labyrinth of time.”
Walt Disney said it was “A simple story about a young girl in search of true love.”
