TypArchive — Hand Painted Signage Archive

Mon, 12 Jul 2010 20:52:34 +1000

TypArchive — Hand Painted Signage Archive:

TypArchive is an image library primarily focused on hand painted signage.
The objective is to amass a comprehensive global collection of a high-quality images and produce hard-copy volumes.

Amidst a landscape of vapid strip malls and sterile signage, hand-painted lettering retains a soulful aesthetic to be treasured. Like other crafts dissolving in the digital age, sign painting is a fading occupation. Today it’s easy for any layman with minimal computer knowledge to produce a sign within minutes, but the skill acquired to artfully produce hand lettering took years of apprenticeships, dedication and true talent. - RD Granados

Great article by Marc Edwards of Bjango. I’d love to see all of these features implemented in the next version of Photoshop. Fat chance though. *le sigh*

Dribbb(b)le – A Safari Extension

Tue, 06 Jul 2010 23:30:38 +1000

Dribbb(b)le – A Safari Extension:

So what does the Dribbb(b)le extension do? It does two things:

First of all since it’s a design community, we can safely assume that all the users will have high screen resolutions. So, I‘m increasing the width of it. From 940px to 1104px. Why 1104px? Because it’s the best width for #2.
My second (and last for now) improvement is killing all the thumbnails on Dribbble. Why? Because, I think we don’t need them. 400x300px is the maximum size of a work. It’s small enough. Why make them smaller and lose all the magic? I mean thumbnails do not tell anything, do not show any details and most of the time, they kill all the details. That’s why I kill them & replace with bigger versions of shots (with javascript).

iPhone 4 and mobile web app icons

iPhone 4 and mobile web app icons:

Let’s say you’ve got a mobile web app, such as my own Glyphboard. Since it’s built using no images whatsoever - I rely on CSS effects instead - it looks great on the new iPhone’s mindblowing Retina display.

Well, there is one image, of course - the app icon. If you’ve read my post on the…
