type design HISTORY in the making

departing from the usual approach of designing a font system as characters and weights, Peter Bil’ak has designed a font described best as


so what you get is a system comprised of 21 typefaces, which encompass styles ranging from renaissance to san serif to pixel fonts but share the same widths and other metric information. therefore not only can you use them as regular fonts, but you can recombine them in any number of combinations using an online layering software called the History Remixer.

changing times?

While I'm on the topic of ads, I found these two advertisements for Leo Coffee (not sure about elsewhere, but very popular in the south). The original score was by A.R.Rahman, and it is said that it led to his debut with Mani Ratnam in the film Roja.

It's interesting to see how the ad makers have tried to adapt the same ad to the 'changing times', while still catering to stereotype of a homely housewife.







The copy roughly translates as "Leo Coffee, the taste that lasts through time." The second ad adds a "the coffee with the traditional flavour" to the same tagline.

More in this line soon.
Would be great to see you guys pool in some as well :)

L'histoire de la conception graphique

Nice timing if nothing else, this might be a good remedy to all our rants about not having a decent history if design course.

http://www.citrinitas.com/history_of_viscom/index.html

This website attempts to walk us through the history of graphic design. It is broadly based on Megg's book(History of Graphic design; REF 686.2209), although with a lot more visuals!


Hope this helps!!

This website gives a pictorial timeline of graphic design from origins to the graphic revolution of the 19th Century. It is actually the online syllabus for the history of graphic design class of Washingot University in St.Louis(http://www.wustl.edu). Its got links to THEIR class blog, other links and books to read, font foundries n stuff like that. If im right, it is supposed to be constantly updated according to the course(or so it says).
