PHIARY

after flickr got really messy and ugly, I have been looking for something smarter and more aestetically pleasing place to upload my pictures.

I have seen Phiary.com in use for a while, but havent really started appreciating it until very recently. I sent a request a while ago for an invitation through their page, but that didnt pay off, really. it is still in test-mode before they let more people in.

today I got in touch with one of the (norwegian) people behind to ask for an invitation, got a positive reply and within the evening (or some time soon) I think my phiary will be up and running. hopefully.

horray.

I believe this will encourage for daily photography. sweden has had something similar to this for ages. bilddagboken.se, but it is ugly as fuck.

GEEK

ok, I admit it. I am a real geek.
I saw the helvetica movie for the first time yesterday.
hadnt gotten around to it before,
and I loved it.

I love typography,
I love graphic design.
(although I am aware, one cant really tell judging by this blog.. :)

I stumbled upon this page, whose graphic design I absolutely adore.
commandshift3
I love the concept of the page allthought I am not sure I agree and that it works properly yet.
some of the things scoring high are straight up ugly.

anyhow. the page who has won all-time prettiest is one called
ilovetypography.
I dont agree it is the prettiest/best designed one, but darned is it nice with all those pretty typography.

I am not so up to date when it comes to what is hot in typography,
but I really really like the one called DTL Nobel in big letters.
