Design For Mankind

shift +.

A project from Spass hat Zukunft:

A visual history of the computer keyboard and the etymology of the symbols most widely accessed through the shift key. As a project aimed to introduce typography through its most common usage, the book promotes the deep history to our most commonly used symbols, which though used daily, are often ignored for their beauty and fascination.

sarajo frieden.

Before I left on holiday, I had the lovely opportunity to meet the dear Sarajo Frieden [among others] at Faythe’s smashing Handmade Nation auction [Angie took some lovely photos here]. We chatted about life, love and liberty [I'm lying], and she shared the exciting news with me that her prints are now available for purchase!

I posted the Droplets print of Sarajo’s last month and have been waiting patiently for my very own. I just may have to invest in this piece at Thumbtack Press for only $34.99!

Congrats, Sarajo— you are a dear!
