20 Best 20 | Sora Designs Before my daughter was born, I filled her nursery with items I made – gently handcrafted clothes, blankets, bibs etc. Among the treasures I created, I found one stand-out item I couldn’t live without. My new baby was wearing a pair of soft cloth booties that I made for her, and I realized that this was the greatest thing I’d ever made. They stayed on her feet, she liked them, and they’re adorbale! After making a few tweaks and alterations, the first pair of “Bison Booties” was born.

Str8Krooked - Home Karl Lagerfeld: "Ich bin nicht intellektuell, nur ziemlich kultiviert" ZEITmagazin ONLINE: Herr Lagerfeld, an was arbeiten Sie gerade? Karl Lagerfeld: Unter anderem veröffentliche ich demnächst zwölf Bände Manuskripte von Friedrich Nietzsche bei Steidl. Tolles Zeug: Texte mit handschriftlichen Bemerkungen, teilweise mit neuen Texten, die noch niemand gelesen hat. ZEITmagazin ONLINE: Zwölf Bände? Lagerfeld: Natürlich! ZEITmagazin ONLINE: Und wie stehen Sie zu Nietzsche? Lagerfeld: Ich bin ja offiziell Modemensch, ich muss zu solchen Themen keinen Standpunkt haben. ZEITmagazin ONLINE: Haben Sie aber doch! Lagerfeld: Ja, aber meine Meinung ist nur zum Privatgebrauch. ZEITmagazin ONLINE: Sie müssen müde sein, es ist schon spät am Abend, Sie haben den ganzen Tag gearbeitet. Lagerfeld: Ach, Müdigkeit ist doch etwas, das man sich selbst vormacht. ZEITmagazin ONLINE: Sind Sie heute mit sich zufrieden? Lagerfeld: Selbstgefälligkeit ist die schlimmste Bremse im Leben, die einem passieren kann. ZEITmagazin ONLINE: Mit Ihrem Äußeren – sind Sie damit zufrieden? Karl Lagerfeld
The Decline of the Ligature in Typography, Leads to Its Rise in Art The ligature in the world of typography refers to two letters that by the way they lie together on the page, can be crafted into a single letter (the most common ligatures often involve the letter ‘f,’ such as fi, and ff). When metal movable type was invented in the 1400s, ligatures were extremely popular in typography. They saved the printer a tremendous amount of time. Rather than having to set an individual ‘f’ and ‘i,’ the printer could just use the single ligature block ‘fi.’ See the image below. These days, with the advent of digital printing technology and ubiquitous desktop publishing, ligatures have gone the way of the 8-track tape. However, there are a number of modern artists who use ligatures to create unusual prints and art works. Schwen uses a paper clip to connect the ‘Th’ ligature in a rather innovative way. It is pretty interesting here how he uses a piece of gum to create a very odd ligature.
News Detail liebe Zeitjung - Herzschmerz, Abweisungen, Liebesleid: Wenn doch alles nur mit ein paar Klicks vorbei wäre... Der Computer ist manchmal expliziter als das Leben: Er gibt dir mit einer klaren Fehlermeldung Bescheid, wenn ihr ein Problem in eurer Beziehung habt, wenn es Zeit für eine Runderneuerung ist oder wenn Gefahr von außen droht. Ob Existenzkrise, gebrochene Herzen oder Überbleibsel von Gefühlen: Fotografin Victoria Siemers übersetzt unsere Schicksalsschläge und die Wirren des Lebens in die Fehlersprache der 10101101001-Maschinen. Sie verschmilzt Analogfotografie mit der digitalen Welt, indem sie eingescannte Polaroidbilder mit modifizierten Computer-Fehlermeldungen kombiniert. Vielleicht nur eine Spielerei in Photoshop, inspiriert von nervigen Fehlermeldungen und Dateiverlusten, aber eine tiefere Botschaft gibt es trotzdem: Siemers Serie „Human Error“ erzählt von Herzschmerz im digitalen Zeitalter. Trauen wir uns noch zu lieben?
