aaaaah

finished. what to write waste with? waste. duh!
et voila;

more hypocritical anti-consumerism.

turns out there wasnt a crit as such for the cataloging project i did, and ive got a bit more time to work on it. i soon realised that the one word [consume] didnt really seem finished so i'm making a sentence out of it.

consume
more
waste
more

i just have to find something to write waste with.

links links links links.

heres a website i stumbled across recently. to be honest im surprised i hadnt already heard about it, its that good. fontstruct.com is a font creation website with built-in software with many customisable modular parts which you use to create fully working fonts. it also works like flickr in the networking sense, you can share and download yours and others fonts and stuff like that. so basically its pretty cool, check it you get me.




and here are two links for a couple more mixes ive made, i dont think theyre as good as my previous one, but theres some pretty good tracks and some new remixes on them so your ears might enjoy them.

a more chilled out dubstep mix

a bit of everything

and if you go to sumopaint.com theres a pretty cool online illustrator software which makes a nice free alternative to photoshop

thats all from me

miserable old bags.

5 o clock this afternoon.
deadline tomorrow morning.
my photoshop mindmap thing with books and cds et cetera still looks shite and i havent thought of anything better to do.
but in comes my brother with his arms full of shopping bags from covent garden and i have an idea. you wouldnt believe the amount of shopping bags that are lying around my house. hundreds. literally. so here's what i did with them, i'm pretty happy with it for a 2am last minute jobby.

some finished fonts.

here is the finished zip font which i actually kinda like



If you like my zip font you might like this jockstrap font [hah!] by moreismore


it's available to download here

fonts at the tate modern

i went to the tate modern today to complete a brief that i failed to do when i shouldve gone on wednesday, but i guess that was for the better because had i gone on wednesday i probably wouldve wasted the day eating lunch with my mates and not got much done. much to my surprise i seemed to get quite a lot done and being alone in my own thoughts seemed to help me think about the work i was looking at in much more detail. aesthetically and conceptually.
here are the fruits of my labour. well, only some of them. and i can hardly call it labour, i mean, farmers working the cotton fields in africa do labour. i was drawing in a fancy gallery in london. but yeah.



[each work of art is followed by my typographic response]

things i have learned in my life so far.

me? nothing. but stefan sagmeister has. you see he's a graphic designer and typographer and he's got a pretty cool book with the same title. its a nicely put together collection of sentences or 'maxims' which have been published in a fantastic array of fonts and type, such as this:



'trying to look good limits my life'

here's an essay which i wrote on it if you feel like getting your teeth stuck into some nice juicy words. sagmeisteressay.pdf

however, even better is the spin-off website which sagmeister created, called, yes you guessed it, things i have learned in my life so far. it's great because it allows anyone to contribute their own life lessons in a visually creative way. i find it really inspirational to flick through all the contributions. if i ever do learn anything in life, i'll be sure to post it on there.

my first font.

heres a poster ive made using a font that i put together using a zip that i tore out of my manbag. im currently putting the finishing touches to the upper case letters and formatting it into a working truetype font, which once done will be available here for anyone who may someday find a use for writing with zips.
