Typography Resources

Not sure which typeface to use for a headline? All of your problems will be solved here


Pablo A Medina's work is based on vernacular typography found in his native Cube, see his site here

If you ever want to create a typeface read this first

You can find article about typeface designer Jeffrey Keedy here

Simple typography, but this site reveals what people really think about major brands.


Your Message here is an interesting typographic installation that appeared in the window of Urban Outfitters, see the article here.

Finally a re-cap of the type basics.

Lightbox on VisCom Blog

Ive written in the .css for this blog the code to allow lightbox to work. If you want to upload images that appear in lightbox, when you post, post like like

a rel="lightbox[animal]" title="Natalia Brilli - Leather Bound" href="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc205/lukiebonner/nat.jpg"> a rel="lightbox[animal]" title="Natalia Brilli - Leather Bound" href="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc205/lukiebonner/nat1.jpg"

obviously the code must start with a <>

The word in the [ ] creates a gallery effect, so all images with the same [x] will be able to move left and right as a gallery. the title='x', is the description that appears below the image.

The first image in the code is the real image, and the second is the thumbnail image. (you have to upload your images to something like photobucket for lightbox to work in blogs)

The a rel="lightbox">

If there is any queries, give us a shout!

A really simple artist portfolio, the navigation is interesting but the site is a bit too small - especially the images.

View it here



This is a lot better, the images and layout are more vibrant and it is easier to navigate. Besides the web functionality the work is fantastic, have a look here.
