Font Nerd desafia seus conhecimentos em tipografia

Você é capaz de reconhecer qualquer fonte em um projeto gráfico? Basicamente, este é o desafio proposto pelo Font Nerd, um game para plataformas iOS criado pelo designer dinamarquês Andreas M. Hansen.

Patrocinado pelo MyFonts.com, o jogo é uma maneira divertida de treinar o olho para identificar (e diferenciar) inúmeras fontes. Usando frases engraçadas (“Toda vez que você usa esta fonte um gatinho morre” é uma das melhores) ou com pequenas dicas, os tipos são apresentados. Os usuários podem escolher analisá-los em caixa alta ou baixa, e se souberem a resposta, podem digitar diretamente. Se estiverem em dúvidas, o game dá cinco alternativas, com três chances de acertar.

Na App Store, Font Nerd aparece como gratuito, mas é apenas a primeira fase. Para jogar os níveis seguintes, é preciso “pagar um café para o designer”, como diz o próprio aplicativo, no valor de US$ 0.99.

Criativos revelam para o D&AD Awards os jobs que gostariam de ter feito

Todo mundo, em algum momento da carreira profissional, acaba se deparando com um job que gostaria de ter feito, uma ideia que gostaria de ter tido e que fatalmente faz com que a gente se pergunte: “como é que eu não pensei nisso antes?”. A boa notícia é que até os grandes criativos passam por essa situação, como confessam Dan Wieden, da Wieden + Kennedy, Iain Tait, do Google Creative Lab, e Jessica Walsh, do estúdio Sagmeister & Walsh, na divulgação do D&AD Awards 2014.

A campanha, criada e produzida pela Wieden + Kennedy tem ainda animações de abertura sensacionais, assinadas pela Factory Fifteen para a Nexus Productions.

Climate Change Name, ideia da Barton F. Graf 9000 para a 350 Action, foi a escolhida por Dan Wieden. Em resumo, a proposta da campanha era que a World Meteorlogical Organization (Organização Meteorológica Mundial) passasse a usar nomes de políticos que negam os efeitos das mudanças climáticas para nomear furacões e tempestades.

Iain Tait, por sua vez, apontou as lâmpadas que mudam de cores Philips Hue e sua conexão com o If This Then That (IFTTT), enquanto Jessica Walsh destacou o novo logo do Whitney Museum.

Apocalypse Now!

The counter Black Friday Meme.

STEPHEN DESROCHES

Will this year’s Black Friday be the largest shopping day yet in the history of the world, or will it be the beginning of an all-out meme war on one of the most cherished sacred cows of Western civilization?

In the age of ecocidal climate change, record personal bankruptcy,  skyrocketing mental illness and ubiquitous obesity rates, the time has finally come to pull back the curtain on this absurd cultural ritual and say what it really is — DOOMSDAY.

The stage is now set for the most absurd holiday of the apocalyptic age.

Let’s put our Zombie gear on and do the zombie walk in every bank, mall and box store on the planet … especially Walmart!

This Black Friday, let’s wake the living! #Zombiewalk
