Helvetica, Of Course

helveticaadextract

Was pointed at this UK advert for Helvetica by a post on Daring Fireball and wanted it for my wall. Spent an evening kerning to match the original poster and pushed the images a bit to counter the lowish res scan then added in some red to honour the swiss origins of the infamous typeface.

Design by Dieter Rams

Things which are different in order simply to be different are seldom better, but that which is made to be better is almost always different.

Dieter Rams, 1993

My goal is to omit everything superfluous so that the essential is shown to best possible advantage.

Dieter Rams, 1980

Gegenlicht (back-light) by Moka

Amazing realtime volumetric video done in openframeworks by Moka. I love lighting effects more than anything and this just strips it down to the pure volumetric lighting goodness using GLSL shaders.
