Design Major: Typocalypse

- Like other type nerds, I am overly critical of most people's font choices, I spend an absurd amount of time choosing the type for my essays, statements and cover pages, and I know that the spacing between the letters is just as important as the letter forms themselves. So when I came across this set on Flickr, I had to pass it on. The idea is "subliminal messages fonts are sending you," and it's dead on. more

Visual Communication: Word(le) Up

-The other day Gawker had a blurb about this site, Wordle, which turns text you copy and paste into a box into something they call a 'word cloud', with words that appear most often in the text appearing more prominent in the cloud. Gawker used it to examine how repetitive their page was, but we found a better use for the site, measuring the cliche-ness of your favorite emo songs!

-See it's fun! This one (above) is Mayday Parade's "If you wanted a song written about you." More by us after the jump. Go to Wordle and do you your own and upload and put it in the comments section. (Note, you have to click 'save to gallery' before it will give you the code you can copy and paste into a comment. Do it! Now!



-This one's a classic, Dashboard Confessional "This Brilliant Dance." We made a music video for this song in video productions, fuck I wish I still had it. It was edited on linear! Before computer editing! Crazy.


-I wanted to a see a little bit of a darker song so this is A Skylit Drive's "My Disease."
-I really hope people do this, I want to see some fun shit.

-Kanye and T-Pain, the underrated "Good Life"
