What Type Are You?

I finally got around to trying Pentagram’s ‘What Type Are You’ application. In it, they ask four character questions, analyzes your responses in detail, and recommends one of 16 typefaces as a result.

Roland Reiner Tiangco’s Dirt Poster

My friend Sabrina linked me to this cool poster designed by Roland Reiner Tiangco. The Dirt Poster requires participation to complete it. The back side of each poster is covered with a layer of ink, which you need to “paint” onto the front side the poster, to reveal the message that has been spot-varnished onto the paper. The poster is limited edition and can be bought for $80.
