I would like to inform that we’ve missed a chance to see the movie “ BABIES” that I had mentioned in the last post, since our baby has been arrived on May 6th.
Yes! It’s a baby boy!!!

I think this is great to share. I really want to see this movie starting this coming Friday, May 7th if our baby still doesn’t come out by then. He is due on May 4th.

Kerning (means adjusting white spacing in a proportional font.)
Prior to the DTP, designers used to adjust white spacing one by one by handwork in the old days.
However, you will never reach the big concept if you are worried about small thing in the beginning. That’s right.
But, when I am standing in the platform at my subway station every morning, I can’t help being conscious about this particular sign’s kerning.
Today I became free of such frustration.

The NY subway signs are quite bald and clear and I believe these signs will put into tourists’ minds as well as one of the NY impressions.
Whether the subway with the accurate signs come into the station or not, I think it’s a great design system.

One thing, I hope this can be tad more sophisticated since it’s in public.

I’ve never really thought of a font like paleography because it only makes me feel an ancient history deeply, and I’ve only seen it in traditions.

However, when I saw this logo in the cutting metallic material sign installed on an entrance of the modern building , I realized the beauty of design in the type face.Then as I closely looked at the logo in the paper & website, I felt this was carefully refined into details that has its modern sophistication.

Even if paper made “news paper” disappears in the future, I believe the logo will still be existed and continue to be refined by generations.

That’s right. Don’t be stupid. (Placard Bold Condensed)

I had a chance to see my friend’s video shooting project at a furniture showroom & factory in Chelsea. They were making a pilot TV show.

The sofas are upholstered with white cloths so their shapes can be more visible.
They’ve been making furniture since 100 years ago and still keep their traditional craftsmanship.

Mike Kobal, the photographer, is shooting the video with a single-lens reflex camera and make more beautiful images. Lisa Sternfeld, the lead, guides you to the world of design!
I can’t wait to see her show on the TV networks one day!!
