This sign was covered by a small billboard for many years, that's probably why it was still legible in 1986, as you can see on this photo: archief.amsterdam/beeldbank/deta…

#generating #letters with code. Here are two "o" letters, one is more squared than the other, an additional function was needed ⟏ Constraint (ANC, HZN, VRT), that limits the anchor movement during ▱Skew. We will use the first variant of the letter.
Continuing with the font design, here's e,f,g

The #open_eye "e" with straight finial,
the letter "f" also featuring a straight terminal with a #raised_ear.
With the most boring "g". We might look into an alternative for that.

The vertical metrics of the Martian Grotesk and Mono typeface family are one reason they work great in UIs.
In this thread, I explain how “equal” metrics—metrics that lead to equal space above and below the text—can make digital design and development easier.

In a line of text, every letter has its own visible shape and size. However, when we implement a line of text with HTML/CSS in the browser, or by using text labels in XCode, we’re actually working with the invisible rectangular area around it.
This area is called a bounding box.
This area is called a bounding box.
Even if you’re not a designer or a developer, you might notice this box when making slides in Apple Keynote, MS Powerpoint, or Google Slides. When selecting text objects we see the transform box around them; in most cases, this box corresponds to the bounding box.

C'est publié! Our aim in preparing *Forms and Formats and the Circulation of Knowledge* was to take the discussion of formats into the busy world of business transactions, copyrights, economic constraints, and the hustle and bustle of the #printshop (brill.com/view/title/579…)
Here is a look at the TOC - these contributors were a dream to work with: James Raven, Jeffrey Hopes, Rebecca Schoff Curtin, @ijalexander2002 , Yvonne Cornish, @katieparker18th, @cgspence, James P. Ascher, @Jacqui_R_Walsh, David Duff - and co-editor Louisiane Ferlier !
It opens with James Raven's meticulous survey of jobbing, which provided a regular income stream for printers hardly achievable with other forms of prints (blank forms, blank forms, everywhere!)

We'll learn how to look at mockups so we can do the following:
1. Deduce #html tags to #code the #webpage
2. Declare #css properties to style the webpage
3. Establish #breakpoints to make the webpage #responsive.

As shown below, we started with the following:
1. Create an #html document.
2. Specify the title.
3. Set the width.
The width is set to equal the viewport width. This means that it'll be as wide as the screen viewing the page - first step to #responsive #designs!

With just over a month left in 2020, let’s talk about the #designtrends we expect to see in 2020. I’ve noticed, and this is usually the case, a larger focus on animation this last year. Flat, #material animation especially 2D characters. Also there has been an increased
Social media focus on “lesson” #Instagram style posts with multiple screens. Hell I tried it myself to see how I would go about doing it. The good thing about these types of posts is that they actually do contain some good info, but I think the trend has hit its peak now.
Next year, I suspect the design world will get more into simple #motiongraphics, perhaps even the multi-screen style static pages we have seen but shorter, more focused animated style typography based animations as the tech becomes more widely available through phones and tablets
Between 1960 and 1970 Penguin Books underwent several revolutions in cover layout, at a time when public tastes were rapidly changing. For today's #TuesdayThoughts I look back at 10 years that shook the Penguin.

This is the story of the art of the #book cover...
Allen Lane founded Penguin Books in 1935, aiming to bring high-quality paperbacks to the masses for the same price as a packet of cigarettes. Lane began by snapping up publishing rights for inexpensive mid-market novels and packaging them expertly for #booklovers.
From the start Penguins were consciously designed; Lane wanted to distinguish his paperbacks from pulp novels. Edward Young created the first cover grid, using three horizontal bands and the new-ish Gill Sans typeface for the text.
