Rene Huey-Lipton knows the pain of losing a job. Too often it’s a surprise and a violation; nevertheless, dealing with the aftermath is something we are often asked to do alone while acting brave.

As promised earlier this week, here’s a few notes about Danilo Milovanovi?, a super talented artist whose work i discovered at the Fotopub, the festival of young art and “unconventional curatorial gestures” which took place in early August in Novo Mesto, Slovenia.

Invited back to Novo Mesto for a solo show after winning the Fotopub Portfolio Prize last year, Danilo Milovanovi? was presenting a research on the relationship between the various phenomena visible (but often overlooked) in the public space and their exhibiting potential.
It was rather unusual for him to have his work exhibited in the safe, white setting of a gallery. Because his works are inspired by the privatisation of public space and natural resources, they tend to feel more at ease in the street.
His public space interventions are playful and smart. Poetic and subtle. With just a few strokes, a space, object or situation gets a new depth and significance. You might pass by one of his works and fail to detect its existence but once you’ve spotted Milovanovi?’s small alterations of the urban landscape, you can’t help but mull over their socio-political meaning.
Milovanovi? doesn’t have a website at the moment so i’ll simply list below some of his actions of resistance to the capitalist-consumer invasion of urban space:

In 2017, the artist filled hundreds of discarded bottles of water with the same amount of water the fountain on a public square in Novo Mesto could hold. He then filled the deactivated fountain with bottles full of authentic water from the fountain, highlighting how excessive packaging and our careless reliance on ‘convenience’ bring about the threat of fresh water depletion.

That same year, Milovanovi? also collected some of the brand labels glued on imported fruit sold in Novo Mesto supermarkets. He then pasted the stickers on the growing fruits of a living tree. “With this, I wanted to achieve ‘branded’ fruit effect before it became recognized as an ‘edible product of nature’ (a quote from one of the labels),” he wrote. “The work presents a provocative comment on the consumerist policy of the food industry.”

Last year while he was in Celje (Slovenia), he gave some nobility to the plants that have grown up from gaps or damages in urban infrastructures. Usually perceived as unwelcome weeds, these plants don’t benefit from any kind of respect or care. Unlike the plants people grow in their apartments or on their balcony for decorative purposes. Milovanovi? put clay pots around street plants, emphasising their presence and intrinsic value.

For Switch, the artist collected the fallen leaves of two trees growing in the center of Slovenia. He kept them in bags in his studio until the summer came back. As soon as the trees turned green again, he returned the foliage under on of the trees, creating an absurd situation that hinted at a problem that is less apparent in urban settings than in rural areas: global warming and the upsetting of natural cycles.

Hearing that homeless people in Katowice were using abandoned cars as living spaces, Milovanovic? transformed a minivan, modelling it on a squat with basic elements of furniture inside and flowerpots and storage boxes outside. The ?limak Project was both an artistic object and a functional dwelling for the most invisibilized actors of society. Although the original installation offers a certain amount of usability, there are no rules to use it or add or adapt the structure and its content. “The installation is not meant to be a commercial, public attraction, but the very opposite, an intriguing phenomenon in public space.”
I could go on and on, telling you how Milovanovi? planted trees in front of all the advertising signs on a given street to hide the advertising; or how he joined two green spaces separated by a concrete road in Prague with a grassland-shaped surfaces, creating a continuous ‘organic’ path that remained at the site for eight months. But i’ll stop here and hope his portfolio gets a proper online home soon.

Parents understand the academic needs of their children more keenly today. That is because the world is getting smaller. Cultures are coming closer together because we live at a time when the global community is emphasized. Therefore, it is imperative that you find a school that embraces international learning principles and that is rich in international offerings.
If you live and work in Bangna, just east of the Bangkok city center, you will find that you can accommodate your child’s learning needs. By enrolling your child in an international school in Bangna, you will feel better about your selection. Again, the world keeps getting smaller and cultural differences are now being recognized and seen for their positive attributes and qualities.
That is why an international school emphasizes this type of learning experience that includes all types of worldwide interests. Not only do students get to experience various cultures and people but they can expand their communication skills.
Because an international school celebrate differences, it causes students to foster an appreciation for the world at large. Children learn appreciation, which leads to the development of lifelong friendships that allow each child to remove any language barriers.
With that being said, you will also make it possible for your child to grow in his or her personality and demeanor. By sharing learning experiences from children the world over, your child will become more independent and understanding. The understanding that develops allows children to mature emotionally. In turn, he or she will become more competent and bolder.
One of the main benefits of an international school education is communication. As noted, this type of learning environment allows to receive the rich rewards associated with communicating in various languages. Once your child learns a second or third language, he or she can speak more fluidly, if not more intelligently. The skills that are learned help a child effectively communicate with various personalities and nationalities.
As a parent, you only want to realize the best for your child. That is why you need to consider the merits first of an international school education. What your child learns in his or her formative years will affect him or her for the rest of his or her life. It will also affect your life and your own legacy. What you do for your child now will make a major impact on how he or she views you in the future.
Do yourself and your child a favor by enrolling your child in a school that stands behind its curriculum and that has resources unlike any other school in the community. As you know, living in Bangna is a one-of-a-kind experience. Make it the same way for your child by enrolling him or her in an international learning facility. He or she will thrive and you will too. Who cannot be influenced by this type of positive and life-affirming learning experience?

Brickton might seem like a domineering font that spells things out with aplomb. It has bold characters and pointy serifs, but upon closer inspection, there are curves, corners and the arches are chamfered.
Adding to its versatility, Brickton has a layered font system that lets you superimpose styles. Use Brickton Regular and Brickton Lines on top of each other to create a design with text that has an inline style to it. Or use Brickton Ridge for another type of line style.
Adland: In making this font, were you looking to solve a specific problem that you’ve had?
Daniel Feldt: This started out as a custom font as per request from a client who was looking for a bold display font for a packaging project.
This was maybe two years ago and the project never got any further than the initial sketching phase.
Adland: What visually inspired you for this?
Daniel Feldt: The obvious inspiration is a typeface called Brothers by John Downer. The proportions are quite similar but Brickton is a little bit thinner and has a smoother outer edge on arcs, shoulders e t c as well as a sloping cross strokes and a bit different serifs and angles. Other inspirations came from the original client request that had some refernce photos of vintage packaging. A couple of classic Swedish beer labels as Gränges and Mariestads also server as inspiration. I wanted something that would look great on a can or a bottle or as a label on pasta packaging. I always referred to it as my “pasta font” before starting actual work on it. To also add value and a bit uniqueness to Brickton, make it more of its own thing, I created a couple of styles that can be used together.
Adland: This font can be layered to change how it looks, how did you come up with this concept?
Daniel Feldt: Oh, that’s not a unique concept that was created for this project. Layer fonts and color fonts is a thing that’s been around for a while. I’m using an app called Glyphs to create my typefaces and there you easily create layer fonts by adding masters and instances. You just need to make sure that all the masters share metrics so the different styles align when you superimpose them. With just a few different styles you give the user lots of combinations and options.
Adland: How long did it take from idea to finish to do this?
Daniel Feldt: Hard to say since it’s been in my mind and in different forms on the computer for a few years. But since I decided to expand the sketches to a useable font with different styles I’d say a couple of months perhaps.
Adland: Have you used it yourself in a project somewhere?
Daniel Feldt: Nope, not yet. I’ve spent a couple of days creating promos and mock designs with it, that’s always a fun part of the project.
Adland: Have you seen anyone else use it yet?
Daniel Feldt: It’s just out now, since a day or two. So, not yet. 🙂
