This is plagiarism in two ways: The 5 items of something idea was sneaked from Carsonified’s blog and all the videos were first published on Computerlove. So, sue me…

Here are 5 videos now that will probably put a smile on your face:

Time to waste some minutes on this…

New Portfolio Section: Typeface

I’ve added a new section to my Portfolio called Typeface. In the last months I have used FontStruct to create some typefaces. Now, I think I might be able to offer some of them. (There are others I’m not that fond of .)

Right now, my fontstructions are the following:

Constr: A heavy typeface.
Plastik: A pixel optimized typeface for displays. A top pick.
Runde Pixelig: A pixel optimized typeface for headlines (best used at 64pt.). A top pick.
Thin Sans: A, well, thin typeface with some details.

All fonts are available for free download. However, as you might see there are some difficulties concerning line-height etc. but this is something the folks at FontStruct have to figure out… Enjoy, it would be great if you drop me a line in case you use one of them.

Interesting Links #6

It’s time for a new edition of Interesting Links.

Nick La has gathered some very nice Single-Page Portfolio Sites at his Web Designer Wall. Some interesting concepts and a lot of high end use of web dev techniques. I personally love We Bleed Design for its fancy PNG effects and Fröjd for its simplicity.

Then, there is the Reverse Graffiti Project. If you don’t know what reverse graffiti is, go and have a look at the video. Incredible!

For those of you who haven’t heard this already: NASA has their photos online on a new website called NASA Images (you would have guessed) powered by Internet Archive. If you’re not into astronomy, you will still like the trippy images anyway…

And finally, especially for my students, there’s the Opera Web Standards Curriculum, “a complete course to teach you standards-based web development, including HTML, CSS, design principles and background theory, and JavaScript basics.”

Well, isn’t there something here for everyone of you?
