This is an enjoyable and instructive game for graphic designers and anyone who is fascinated by letter types.

Every magazine on the iPad also has a website which contains most or all content from each issue. For free. Additionally, the lack of subscription options creates a price disparity for magazine/app buyers. To match the magazine industry’s $4.5 billion annual print revenue, 900 million $4.99 iPad apps would need to be sold. (Or, assuming publishers could make $25 per issue per subscriber in advertising, they’d need to sell 54 magazine apps to every iPad owner, for $4.99 each)

Spoonflower makes it possible for individuals to design, print and sell their own fabric designs. It was founded in May 2008 by two Internet geeks who had crafty wives but who knew nothing about textiles. The company came about because Stephen’s wife, Kim, persuaded him that being able to print her own fabric for curtains was a really cool idea. She wasn’t alone. The Spoonflower community now numbers around 70,000 individuals who use their own fabric to make curtains, quilts, clothes, bags, furniture, dolls, pillows, framed artwork, costumes, banners and much, much more. The Spoonflower marketplace offers the largest collection of independent fabric designers in the world. The site has appeared in the New York Times, Associated Press, Vogue, Martha Stewart Weddings, Make, CRAFT, ApartmentTherapy, Photojojo, and many other terrific publications and blogs.

The ‘Adana Agency’ was founded in 1922 in Twickenham by Donald Affleck Aspinall. Adana was distin­guished by catering for the hobby letterpress printer, at a time when some suppliers did not approve of the hobby printer. The type founder Caslon stated that ‘We are not among those who are alarmed at the increase in amateur printing in this country, though we will not encourage it.’ The first official Adana machines were advertised in November 1922 in the Exchange and Mart. The machine was a devel­opment on the Parlour Presses of the late Victorian period, and retailed for 45/- (£2.25).

Long the epitome of understated class, the Post became just a little bit more classy overnight. It’s not a major redesign, but then again, we didn’t expect one. When this thing was announced back in February, it was referred to as a “tweak.” And a tweak is that the Post got. And it’s a good thing, too — the Post didn’t need a major overhaul.

In January 2009 we were invited to take part in a paid pitch for the print redesign for the Swiss newspaper Tages-Anzeiger. All in all five agencies took part in the pitch. We were the only UX oriented agency. The story of a beautiful failure.

For all of the advantages the web has with distribution of content, I’ve always lamented the handiness of the WYSIWYG design tools from the print publishing world. When I set out to redesign my personal website, I wanted to have some of the same abilities that those tools have, laying out pages how I saw fit, and that meant a flexible system for dealing with imagery.

“A l’heure de la rédaction de ce mémoire, je constate un rapport extrêmement inégal entre l’amplitude que prend, dans nos études de design graphique, la notion de “graphisme d’auteur” et sa place réelle dans la pratique de ce métier. Je mesure également la distance qui distingue le monde des auteurs, monde savant regardant tantôt avec dédain, tantôt avec amusement les autres formes de graphisme, et celui des amateurs, ignorant presque tout du graphisme et à fortiori du graphisme d’auteur. J’ai par conséquent eu la volonté de me dégager de la vision unilatérale que me propose (malgré lui) l’enseignement en communication visuelle en étudiant le graphisme le plus opposé au graphisme d’auteur: le graphisme amateur. ”
