“In death as in life: Peter Saville and Ben Kelly’s memorial to their friend and collaborator Anthony H Wilson is three years late, but it was worth the wait.” CR Blog

A really nice use of Rotis.

Your Memories Will Be Rewritten

theorosendorf — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 14:00:16 +0000

Aza Raskin’s Keynote for the John Seely Brown Symposium at University of Michigan.

“Your past actions are the best predictor of your future decisions. Your past—or the memory of your past—has always been immutable. What if it wasn’t? What if marketers could meddle with your memories directly, instead of trying to insert their products into your daily flow?”

To the offices of Moleskine: Please move on from Rotis

theorosendorf — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 18:10:37 +0000

Lifehacker posted some nice photos of the Moleskine office in Milan and a new one in New York. Very nice. Perhaps after they’ve settled into their New York office, they could consider a new approach to the choice of type for their datebooks… The use of Rotis has had a good run. To be honest, it kind of feels like I’m writing in Ozzy Osbourne’s spell book. A more neutral face would do wonders for the experience.

Cumulus & Foam: a Typeface, Anorexically Obese

theorosendorf — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 19:01:18 +0000

This face has roots in Didot, but with a hint of plastic surgery gone wrong. Anna Malsberger describes it best: “They tease us with allusions to peacocks, mustaches, umbrellas and feathers. They blossom, heave, and knock each other around. They are a glorious parade of grotesque enthusiasts.”

Cumulus & Foam comes from Stefán Kjartansson, designer of Black Slabbath, Armchair Modern, and Reykjavík. It’s a family of three typefaces: Cumulus & Foam & Vane, Cumulus & Foam & Crumpet, and Cumulus & Foam & Naugahyde. Watch for it to be released this month through You Work For Them.

Werner Herzog Reads Children’s Classics

theorosendorf — Sat, 01 May 2010 16:36:21 +0000

For those who haven’t seen them, here is a complete list of Werner Herzog reading children’s classics. Well, the videos say it isn’t actually Werner Herzog, but that in itself is part of Werner Herzog’s schtick, is it not? Regardless, these videos are funny.

Dollar Redesign by Michael Tyznik

theorosendorf — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 17:00:09 +0000

“Here are the main ideas in this design: Money and the color green are inextricably intertwined in American culture. I think it’d be a mistake to remove green as the primary color. Instead, each bill has a brightly-colored holographic strip embedded into it which contains the denomination. The width of this strip also changes with the denomination. This introduces an element which makes each bill extremely easy to identify. There is also braille denoting the bills’ denomination on the holographic strip.” Michael Tyznik, Designer
