Save resources....a typographers way!



"April 1, 2007 — FSI FontShop International proudly announces FF Mt, Erik Spiekermann's most economical typeface ever. Employing obscure but powerful techniques like vwl mmssn and cap reduction, FF Mt uses up to 50% less paper, screen, and wall space than other text faces without a single condensed letter."

In the era of Pseudo-activism, where souls cry aloud for trivial causes and chose to be numb for the right one, Erik Spikerman's FF mt is certainly a solid step to save Earth's resources. anyways the language is already been considerably tweaked with the SMS ans IM lingo around us.... so why not a typeface for it.

*** DIP

It may sound like TOI Sunday box office review, but yesterday while discussing with Sanjay about diploma project he put very simple 3 criteria for a good diploma project. you can call it sanjay's 3 star (***) review..

1. how well did your research lead to or transformed into your design process.

2. how passionate you are about the project. may be a little intangible or subjective to judge but ya if you are ...its shows in the project.

3. do your document is a story ,telling the reader (who ever it may be) about what, how , when things happened in the project?

over these days i ve been hearing to all my faculties , students about all the expectations , crib , frustration about the diploma project at NID. but never ve i come across such clear, simple understanding of it...

the jealous "I"

it seem i am the only one in pain here.in this case half of it should be passed on to the cause of it ...if at all it still matters....i know i do matter,a little less may be.

i doesn't know why this turbulence strike me at this odd time...i still cant figure out of what element people are made of ....or how strong will power could be...

its not moments of solace now ....but then i experienced it after a long gap. somethings are still the same...lots more changed.

Gn ..dear
wish you all good things in life.

Making good use of INTERNET!

When you have fairly decent band width and you are too bored/tired of social networking sites or youtube, here is something to try out for. if you are a music lover and have noticeable variations of mood then log on to this cool site called musicovery which have this amazing collection of songs which could be mapped and clubbed as per genre of music and your mood. all this put in a simple clean appealing interface ......whats more it also have album arts (for the few unusual creatures like me)!




ya smart in fact, this experience of listening to what you like as per your mood. its really a huge leap from the age old wimap and definitely a better option than killing time in facebook or orkut.

happy listening ....

Flora & Fauna of NID!
