ComicMeme:
“Spot the bullshit”
A meme done in OpenType. Comic Sans is a meme in the designers’ world: it should be categorically avoided. But what if the designer is just bullshitting about his own work?
ComicMeme is an Opentype font. Mainly the characters are in Times New Roman. When a designer writes about his work the font detects if he/she is bullshitting. Buzzwords are changed to Comic Sans.
This is done with OpenType ligature features. Currently the features only work in Adobe applications that can make use of the ligatures in an OpenType font. Mikko: try out writing about your project. Others: thank Frederik for the great help he’s been to us!
Here’s the font: ComicMeme_02a.otf
Here’s a mockup:
NodeBox-wonders
After the NodeBox tutorial on Monday I tried some stuff. I lost all sense of time and just fell in love with it.
This is what I came up with:
Hairy font
The font uses a Bodoni Ornament character to create hair around a letter. The example is with Arial.
Welcome animation
On Tuesday I held a presentation on Lahti Institute of Design at an upper secondary school in Helsinki. I did this intro-animation the night before. It’s in Swedish and says: study, work, live, party in Muotsikka, Welcome!
