Type Connection

Aura Seltzer created  "Type Connection", a wonderful online game that teaches you how to pair typefaces, like a dating game!!! Users are the matchmakers. Since most student have trouble with that, I thought this might come in handy!

Check out his book: "Philographics" (big ideas in simple shapes).

François Avril

If you have a chance, go see François Avril's exhibit "KUNSTRUCTION" at La Galerie Huberty Breyne, 91 rue Saint Honoré, 75001 Paris.
It is open from 11AM to 7PM wednesday, thursday, friday, and saturday until october 11th 2014.
His line work is absolutely superb and his city and landscapes superb. He has a knack for simplifying with elegance and sensitivity, whatever the medium.
