Un chien fait une crotte dans un wagon de métro. La propriétaire du chien refuse de ramasser le dégat malgré les offres de Kleenex et les demandes des autres passagers. Quelqu’un prend sa photo, la publie sur Internet et comme de fait, un “Internet Witch Hunt” s’ensuit. More on the Dog Poop Girl.

“Combining typefaces [a serif and a sans] is more of an art than a science, but there are many aspects to keep in mind to avoid an unholy union — proportion, x-height, weight, and pedigree, to name a few.” FontShop presents Soulmates, a list of good sans & serifs born to be together. To that list I would add Scala & Scala Sans. Et je pense que Hippopocampe a réussi à faire une pas pire job avec son Helvetica Neue Bold et la Georgia.

Zoomorphic Calligraphy. “This new mode was not a matter of script metamorphosing into living forms which are also readable letters, but of using script to delineate such forms. Seldom had the flexibility of the Arabic alphabet been so tested.” Some of these would make beautiful tatoos.

Quand j’ai entendu que Wal-Mart voulait s’installer dans la ville de Montréal, j’ai franchement eu peur. Wal-Marde, l’icone de la banlieue polluante, l’étallement urbain, et de notre société pro-chacun-sa-voiture, qui s’installe en ville. L’horreur. Vont-ils savoir s’adapter ou tout simplement copier-coller les atrocités de plusieurs acres qu’on retrouve en banlieues? Fiou!: Wal-Mart is changing store designs nationwide as the company moves further into urban markets. “The gray-and-blue big-box stores are largely a thing of the past.”
