Crime and Investigation - Typography

An interesting use of type. The typewriter font mimics those used in old police reports. Individual letter forms are animated to illustrate characteristics of, in this instance, a serial killer.

takram: furin

urin is an interactive lighting installation by takram design and
engineering. the installation was created for okamura
design space r and built with lights arranged on a grid of equilateral
triangles. each of the 280 lights is a glass wind
chime and hung from a different height to create an undulating wave of
light. the chimes light up and make a chime
noise as users walk underneath. the effect is much like a firefly and each
chime sound is a different tone, high for
those lights hung high and low for those at the lower level. as users walk
around their movement and direction
affects the sound and enables them to play the space like an instrument.

Outer Margin TypExperiments

What happens, if there¹s only a thin red line between type-design and
graphic-design, every single letter is becoming a principal actor and
brakes out of the homogeneous system of best readability? You get
TypExperiments.

Archangel

Designed by Ardis Design and Advertising <http://www.tardis.co.nz/> , based
in Wellington, New Zealand.
The unique brand story of Archangel is one steeped in love, hope and fate.
Starting in war-torn Poland and continuing to this day- a generation on in
New Zealand - it's about the interlacing of relationships and destiny. An
antique European lace reflects this interwoven tale which embossed,
over-glossed and pearlised print finishes hightlight the densely textured
quality of this incredible journey.

An office in the woods

This would be such an amazing office to work in, especially during the
autumn season! The Selgas Cano <http://www.selgascano.com> office is
partially recessed into the ground, bringing the natural outdoor vegetation
to just above seated eye level.
