1 Comment By Kent Downer on February 12, 2010

These designs are just flat out amazing to me. Love the vibrant color, detail, typography, effects. Designed by Moxie Sozo for Leap Organics and scheduled to launch spring 2010. Can’t wait to see them in the wild.

If you haven’t been paying attention, you may have missed learning about Font Squirrel. Here at Tornado we’re big fans of the site. It is quickly becoming one of the best sources of high quality fonts on the web — and free ones, too.

They recently released @Font-Face Kits, which is a tool that allows you to easily use any of the fonts on Font Squirrel in your web sites. It’s a great tool for using custom fonts but preserving search optimization.

Alex from HypeForType emailed to let me know about their new typeface collection. It’s called Exclusive Faces Volume 2. It’s a nice collection of edgy and cool fonts.

One thing you don’t want to miss is their blog. It has some cool typography design effects and experiments.

I saw this video last week as part of the Phoenix Design Week conference and thought it was absolutely splendid.

Annual Report: For a Person

1 Comment By Chris Tingom on December 6, 2008

Here’s a sweet idea! Make an annual report for yourself! Too bad it would probably take 20 hours just to produce a report this spiffy. Nicholas Feltron was recently shown holding his annual report in the Wall Street Journal.

View his annual report for 2007.

I’d wager that Mr. Feltron is the sort of person that wouldn’t spell his own name wrong, but for some reason the Wall Street Journal did. At least he got it right in his report, which is beautiful. I’d also guess that Feltron is the sort of guy that tracks his time — wise. Anyways, I thought it was cool and wanted to share.
