The Most Beautiful and Imaginative Public Schools in the World Albert Einstein, responsible for the world’s most famous equation and quite possibly the smartest man to ever live, said that “logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.” With that in mind, surely a child’s imagination is something to cherish and nourish. Architects and local governments around the world are now fighting the good fight against dismal, uninspiring schools and the groundbreaking results are re-shaping the learning experience for our future generations.

Rick Poynor's Book List Books led me to typography and graphic design. Love of reading became love of the medium in which the words are printed, of the type that composes these words, of the substrate that supports them, of the page layouts that give form to narrative and argument, of the covers and bindings that hold these texts and pictures together, of the lettering and imagery that seek to express a book’s essential nature. . . .

100 Ideas That Changed Graphic Design by Maria Popova From visual puns to the grid, or what Edward Tufte has to do with the invention of the fine print. Design history books abound, but they tend to be organized by chronology and focused on concrete -isms. From publisher Laurence King, who brought us the epic Saul Bass monograph, and the prolific design writer Steven Heller with design critic Veronique Vienne comes 100 Ideas that Changed Graphic Design — a thoughtfully curated inventory of abstract concepts that defined and shaped the art and craft of graphic design, each illustrated with exemplary images and historical context. Idea # 16: METAPHORIC LETTERING Trying to Look Good Limits My Life (2004), part of Stefan Sagmeister’s typographic project '20 Things I Have Learned in My Life So Far.' Idea # 83: PSYCHEDELIA Gebrauchsgraphik (1968).

Gifky | Awesome templates for your business Hackney Wick's The Walls Have Ears mural Collaborating with the local community, Bread, a creative collective based in East London, has just completed a 100 metre long typographic mural along a street that leads to London's Olympic Park... Bread essentially wanted to brighten up an unloved, bleak street called White Post Lane and managed to secure funding from the London Legacy Development Corporation to paint the mural which is, according to Bread's Victoria Walmsley, based around the industrial past of the area (Hackney Wick). "The six-month project involved various workshops, interviews, research and a blog-style website and social media to engage the local community," she explains. The mural, entitled The Walls Have Ears, features words and phrases suggested by local residents that hint at the area's history. 'Fridge Mountain' references the area's biggest landmark pre-Games: a 20-foot high pile of defunct domestic appliances which had the dubious honour of being the biggest heap of fridges in Europe. 15 Comments
Emogrifier :: Pelago Sidecar Project :: Convert CSS styles into HTML inline style attributes n. e•mog•ri•fi•er [\ē-'mä-grƏ-,fī-Ər\] - a utility for changing completely the nature or appearance of HTML email, esp. in a particularly fantastic or bizarre manner This utility was developed as part of Intervals to deal with the problems posed by certain email clients (namely Outlook 2007 and Google Gmail) when it comes to the way they handle styling contained in HTML emails. As many web developers and designers already know, certain email clients are notorious for their lack of CSS support. The primary problem with uncooperative email clients is that most tend to only regard inline CSS, discarding all <style> elements and links to stylesheets in <link> elements. How it Works Emogrifier automagically transmogrifies your HTML by parsing your CSS and inserting your CSS definitions into tags within your HTML based on your CSS selectors. Caveats
Imprint-The Online Community for Graphic Designers — Expanding the Design Conversation Way back in the 20th Century, back before one small, viral meme could have more impact and influence than tons of Times op-eds, newspapers still mattered. But it was also a time of severely limited access to communication outlets. As A.J. Liebling noted: “Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own...
