Graphic Design, Referenced: A Visual Guide to the Language, Applications, and History of Graphic Design: Amazon.co.uk: Armin Vit, Bryony Gomez-Palacio. The two authors of this amazing book wisely say in the intro that their endeavors are not really comparable to the Meggs, Hollis, Bringhurst or even newcomer Stephen Eskilson's standard history of graphics, design and typography.

They have approached the subject in a fresh and I thought unique way. The book is in four sections: Principles (design, type and print); Knowledge (books, online, collections and colleges); Representatives (designers, type creators, design writers and design clubs) and Practice (139 pages bulging with practical examples of anything designed. What I thought interesting was the way these four sections are developed to cover a phenomenal amount of information, either historical or contemporary, and presented primarily as visual items backed up with bite-size text.

As the title's sub-deck says `A visual guide to the language, application and history of graphic design' and I thought it worked a treat. A real-page turner presenting creativity in a fresh format.

It's the ultimate Kickstarter success story. Unable to secure a manufacturer, the Chicago-based designer Scott Wilson placed his TikTok and LunaTik wristbands -- which convert the Nano into a watch -- on the funding site. Within a month, he raised nearly $1 million from 13,500 backers -- a Kickstarter record. All of a sudden, retailers came calling, including the most prestigious of all: Apple, which is rolling out the wristbands in North American stores this week.

"A lot of people just don't have the instincts to know whether it's going to sell, so they just don't want to gamble," Wilson says. 'But to see it globally accepted across 50 countries, that's not much of a risk.' But before operation Kickstarter, even Apple wasn't convinced people would pay more for high-grade materials. 76% of Wilson's backers bought the Nano because of the watchband.

The wristbands will still be available at LunaTik. Behance Network :: Gallery. A More Royal Royal Opera House. Nestled in bustling Covent Garden, the Royal Opera House is home to The Royal Opera, The Royal Ballet and the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House. In its third structural incarnation since 1732 — two previous buildings were burned in fires in 1808 and 1856 — the Royal Opera House is a preeminent international performing arts venue but, unfortunately, the same couldn’t be said of its crest, which looks like it has survived its own set of fires. Old crest.

New crest. The new identity has been designed by London-based SomeOne, who worked with master engraver Christopher Wormell to update the crest. Simon Manchipp, founder of SomeOne explains the challenges of the project: The bottom-right image, if you are wondering (as I was), is the woodblock itself with ink and ready to print. It goes without saying that the new crest is simply fantastic and I’m not one to easily compliment crests. Nyctography. Reconstructed nyctograph, with scale demonstrated by a 5 euro cent. Nyctography is a form of shorthand writing created by Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (better known as Lewis Carroll) in 1891. Nyctography is written with a nyctograph (also invented by Carroll) and uses a system of dots and/or strokes all based on a dot placed in the upper left corner.

Using the Nyctograph, one could quickly jot down ideas or notes without the aid of light. Carroll invented the Nyctograph and Nyctography because he was often awakened during the night with thoughts that needed to be written down immediately, and didn't want to go through the lengthy process of lighting a lamp just to have to extinguish it shortly thereafter. The device consisted of a gridded card with sixteen squares [.25” square] and system of symbols representing an alphabet of Dodgson's design, which could then be transcribed the following day.

If you hear "maker culture" and instantly think of grease-stained weirdos who drone on about steampunk and "screws not glue"... well, you wouldn't be wrong. But when a giant software company like Autodesk throws its weight behind "makers," you know it's much more than a subculture. "There was this huge digital content generation that emerged, but now that 'Generation C' is turning into 'M,' the Make generation," Tatjana Dzambazova, Senior Product Manager at Autodesk, tells Co.Design.

"They want to start physically fabricating the things that they create digitally. " And now Autodesk is providing that power, in a free application called 123D that will let any maker, professional or amateur, design and 3D-print anything on demand from toys to turbines. 123D lets you easily fabricate objects, not just visualize them. 123D differs from other free 3-D modeling software like Google Sketchup in that it's designed to let you easily fabricate objects, not just visualize them.
