Traditional and web based system for searching fonts of a specific theme serve limitations. However, the technically designed “Fontplore” combines the plus points of both web and print based process for searching and exploring font databases. It is embedded on a table and the two interacts through tangible objects in order to direct and organize actions. With the help of this application, you can choose appropriate typeface for your project from number of fonts available. This design offers you the ease of working on the Fontplore table using your finger, a pyramid and a round object for primary navigation. You can browse, preview, compare and print the fonts according to your need and interest.

This woman is fake! Ford has designed a woman for their latest-generation Fiesta, named Antonella(photo above)! Virtual model Antonella is the personification of a profile created from demographic research about the Fiesta’s target customer, said Moray Callum, executive director of Ford Americas design. NY time writes:
“Antonella is an attractive 28-year old woman who lives in Rome. Her life is focused on friends and fun, clubbing and parties. She is also completely imaginary. She was the guiding personality for the Ford Verve, a design study that served as the basis for the latest-generation Fiesta.
A character invented by Ford designers to help them imagine cars better tailored to their intended customers, she embodies a philosophy that guides the company’s design studios these days: to design the car, first design the driver…
Invented characters get everyone on the same page,” Mr. Callum said. “Personalizing gives context to the information we have. Sometimes the target demographics are difficult to relate to by, say, a 35-year-old male designer.

555 KubiK – “How it would be, if a house was dreaming”

The conception of this project consistently derives from its underlying architecture – the theoretic conception and visual pattern of the Hamburg Kunsthalle. The Basic idea of narration was to dissolve and break through the strict architecture of O. M. Ungers “Galerie der Gegenwart”. Resultant permeabilty of the solid facade uncovers different interpretations of conception, geometry and aesthetics expressed through graphics and movement. A situation of reflexivity evolves – describing the constitution and spacious perception of this location by means of the building itself.

Art Direction: Daniel Rossa – rossarossa.de
