Book Suggestion

1,000 Type Treatments

From Script to Serif, Letterforms Used to Perfection

The ability to wield typography is one of those things that is a clear indication of a talented designer. Being able to craft type well and thoughtfully takes a deep understanding of the inherent complexities and a keen eye for the minute and subtle details. This book contains a collection of 1,000 instances of thoughtful type usage along with credits that note what fonts were used in the design. Like its predecessor, 1,000 Graphic Elements, the photography in this book focuses in on the typography so readers can get an up-close look at the work.

1,000 Type Treatments showcases an array of fonts in a catalog-like format, making it easy for the working designer to practically shop for ideas. The book is organized by style so if a designer has a traditional, elegant, or edgy piece, they can go directly to that section of the book, where they will find a wide collection of fresh ideas in the style they are seeking.

Also included is a directory of font foundries and suppliers, providing busy designers with a quick reference guide to where they can find the fonts that pique their interest.

Nestlé Social Block by Guillermo Hevia Architects

Posted: 28 Apr 2010 03:47 AM PDT


This project got my attention mainly by the form that the architects from GH+A treated the shapes and materials, with strong and straight lines and a contrast among glass, steel and concrete. A modern composition which the hand of an architect makes all the difference to get an outstanding result.

<!--break-->

The Nestlé Social Block is located in Graneros, Chile. Designed by the Chilean office GH+A / Guillermo Hevia, the building was planned over a variety of climates strategies and racional usage of energy sources. The way that the plans were composed, allowing the air to circulate between the walls, the natural control of lightening and the clean and elegant lines, are only some elements that make the project an example of century 21's architecture.

Photographs: Cristián Barahona, Guillermo Hevia H. & Guillermo Hevia García

The corten steel is a meterial which oxidates in a short term period, in order to create its own protection, neutralizing its deterioration... The rythm of the designed standart-sheets breaks the monotony of the plane suspended surface and has been systematically illuminated to strengthen the night image of the building.

We put a special attention to the water consumption of the restrooms and in general. Using high tecnology devices and designs, with automatic anti-vandal taps, guaranteeing a controlled water consumption, sending a strong signal of protecting both, natural resources and economics.

Birth Announcement Cards

Posted: 27 Apr 2010 08:08 PM PDT


Birth announcement card is the kind of thing that you think you'll never need... but one day you find that special someone (or not), gets married (or not) and just then (or not) a baby comes. Or not... you might just get hired to design a card for someone else, but in any scenario, inspiration is always welcome.

<!--break-->

Our reader Winand asked us for inspiration, because her niece is going to be born soon... so we had to find some cool designs for her. Since I don't get to see Birth announcement cards very often, I guess these are kinda "classic"... maybe someone could make somewhat of a more "hipster" style, or like we've seen yesterday, something awesome like Swiss Style. I don't know, these are ideas! Anyways, Winand, we hope these will help you and some future daddies and mommies around the world. Also, check out each designer's page by clicking each piece. Cheers! ;)
