The design is 4/4 on a translucent (20% opaque) plastic card.

I commit to post photos after the cards are done. :)

So, I compiled a list of what I (and some friends) assume about the web. There are some great sites which break these assumptions in a great way; and, there are some sites that unfortunately suffer from breaking these assumptions.

What else do we assume about the web?

Maybe some of the assumptions will spark some ideas for your projects.

I look forward to seeing your responses.

I’m happy about how much attention has gone into the development of the Clearview font. I’m also really happy about the press writing a great article on type design and the importance of choosing a well constructed typeface.

I also look forward to a more legible highway font. Check out those nice open counter spaces. No more cramped “a” and “e” figures.

What do you think about the font? Is it the most legible?

I also like how the article describes the difficulty Meeker had in helping to educate the Federal Highway Administration. What can we do as designers to help educate the public of the importance of this font decision?

Did you learn any other lessons from this article/experience?

If After Effects is Photoshop with a timeline, then ZBrush is Photoshop with a z-depth. The gallery is impressive and the demos show a very capable software. Check it out and share your work samples and opinions.
