In Pieces - 30 Endangered Species, 30 Pieces.
Londres, New York, Paris en 3D
Voyager en 3D sans surfer nécessairement sur Google Map, c’est tout à fait possible. C’est ce que propose une nouvelle série de livres pop-up panoramiques pour découvrir d’un coup d’œil douze monuments phares de Londres, Paris ou New York. Ces mini guides touristiques une fois sortis de leur étuis se déploient tels des livres-théâtres ou d’immenses farandoles. Glissés dans la poche ou dans un sac, ils offrent une visite guidée de ces trois villes grace à un panorama de monuments légendaires, de Big Ben à Central Park, en passant par la tour Eiffel, la statue de la Liberté ou encore le moulin rouge et Piccadilly Circus. Ils se lisent aussi bien sur le recto que sur le verso. Et de deux façons. Soit en les feuilletant pris entre deux mains ou bien en les dépliant et repliant de page en page, offrant ainsi à chaque fois, un monument tout en volume, qui s’érige, illustré et accompagné d’une petite légende, avec en prime un plan crayonnée au dos de l'objet, permettant de localiser ces lieux.

Scandia Font Family | Process Type Foundry
Swapping angularity for lush curves, Scandia picks up where Scandia Line leaves off. If its sibling is the skeleton, then Scandia is the flesh. With a nod to the classic geometric sans serifs of the 20th-century, Scandia builds a steady rhythm across its four weights and matching italics to create a versatile family of fonts. While developing Scandia, care was given to avoid simply wrapping curves around Scandia Line’s primitive forms. Instead, it was used as a proportional guide before imagining curves and a different weight structure for what would become Scandia. To complement the four primary styles, a stenciled variant modeled on the Bold weight has been added to the family. Scandia also includes a handful of alternate characters that can be found as an OpenType Stylistic Set. If you hadn’t guessed by now, Scandia Line was designed first and served as the inspiration for Scandia.
FPO Awards, 2011-12 Winners
The winners of the 2011-12 FPO Awards have been posted on the Winners page of the FPO Awards site. Judging took place this past Friday, July 6, 2012 here in Austin, TX — pictures of the day can be found in this Flickr set. Read on for additional notes, thoughts, and a peek at the big-ticket winners.

We will most likely move to a three-judge jury instead of five next year, as 300 entries don’t warrant a big group. There are a couple of categories we will be dropping next year: flexography and thermography.

The Real Cookbook
Le studio de design allemand Korefe a eu l’excellente idée de penser un livre de cuisine comestible. The Real Cookbook permet de cuisiner des lasagnes, en suivant les instructions joliment dessinées directement sur la pâte. Plus d’images dans la suite de l’article.

A QUIET WORD - Tamasin Cave & Andy Rowell Lobbying is a two-billion pound industry, answering to no-one and operating out of public sight. This book shows just how effectively the voice of public interest is being drowned out by the word in the ear from the professional persuaders of the lobbying industry. And if you’ve never heard about them, that’s because the most effective lobbying goes unnoticed. Our design echoes this dichotomy – the noise of the influence industry, driven by it’s silent mechanics.
