Maximum Quality: 44 Free Fonts for Creative Designers

Dirk Metzmacher — Wed, 22 May 2013 12:34:34 +0000

We did it again. We curated more than 40 high-grade fonts for your designing pleasure. Each one is equipped with additional info as to whether the font is private and commercially usable and in which format it will be delivered. Most fonts contain special characters from several languages, but as our audience is international, we did not check that for each and every charset possibly demanded. You will need to do that by yourself. As you are on it, you should as well double-check whether the license has probably been changed and what kind of usage it allows. Have fun with these high-quality fontsets from all over the world.

It's Adobe again. They made two proposals to a coming standard, which would lead to the possibility to format and present texts on websites just as we already know it from DTP software such as InDesign. With Exclusions we will be able to let text flow in any shapes and forms, while Regions will allow us to split texts between two or more HTML elements.

Children of the Seventies and the Eighties are likely to be particularly interested in what we want to show you today. French artist Benoit Jammes found a bunch of audio cassettes in his basement, yet did no longer own the appropriate player hardware.

When I started out on this app I was only really just interested in seeing if the web platform had really evolved to a point where an app like the hugely popular Instagram app could be built using just HTML, JavaScript and CSS.

This article walks you through the technologies that make this possible and shows how it is entirely feasible today to build interoperable web applications that provide a great user experience no matter what brand of browser the user is running.

Decals Galore: Your MacBook Gets a Unique Look with our MacStickrs Giveaway

Dieter Petereit — Tue, 14 May 2013 07:00:29 +0000

MacStickrs, a small company based in London, wants to help you make your MacBook feel more like it is yours and yours only. To achieve that, founders Aleksandr Karev and Jaroslav Urban designed a decent set of non-obtrusive stickers with a twist. Instead of taking the Apple face off and putting their own thing up, they tried to only carefully adjust the look of the Apple product. That way, you will still feel to be owning a pure MacBook, yet have the opportunity to weigh in your own personality modestly. MacStickrs likes Noupe as much as we like MacStickrs, so we decided to play a little game where you can win one of 20 decals we give away. Shipping is worldwide, so partake from anywhere you happen to be located at the moment, as long as there is at least kind of a shipping service available, that is ;)
