The Weekly Nugget
It’s that time of the week when we share some inspiration that caught our eye, let’s get to it!
1. Design Canada
We start with a documentary film Design Canada; the first documentary chronicling the history of Canadian graphic design and how it shaped a nation and its people.
2. Type Inclusivity: Pangea Afrikan
Christoph Koeberlin’s latest font release through Fontwerk is a step towards supporting Latin-based African languages and thereby connecting continents and cultures. With the launch of Pangea Afrikan, Koeberlin has now added Latin-based African to the superfamily, covering support for Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, Lingala, Mende, and Umbundu — and the millions of people who speak and write them. Pangea is available as a free standard license for print, web, app, and e-book use.
3. M&M’s unveils identity redesign for an “inclusive” future
Featuring the brand’s first custom typeface collaborating with Monotype. Starting with the “&” as a symbol of togetherness, designer JKR says, “The real joy is in the details — there are ink traps that hint to smiles and ball terminals that reference M&M’s classic, circular shape.”
4. Hoverstat.es
Curated by Mike Guppy and Dan Powell, Hoverstat.es is an ongoing archive of web inspiration that experiment with interactivity and content in new and usual ways.
5. Back to books — Grid Systems
We spend an ungodly amount of time glued to our screens, so it’s good to pry ourselves away and peruse the studio book shelf. Lately this classic has been getting most page time.
6. Jan Håfström collaborates on clothing line with A Day’s March.
A first look at the new collection from A Day’s March with renowned artist Jan Håfström, based on two of his most recognized characters — Mr. Walker and the skull.
7. Inside Hayao Miyazaki’s Genius
In September last year, the newly opened Academy Museum opened its doors to celebrate the globally acclaimed Miyazaki cofounder of Studio Ghibli, inviting us behind the scenes of the mind that gave us Spirited Away and My Neighbour Totoro. Read more on It’s Nice That.
8. Don’t Call us if…
Pam advertising agency probably isn’t the right agency for you, and thats okay. The frank and refreshing copywriting including a loooong list of of reasons not to call them, all in pursuit of attracting “fearless clients” caught our eye.
9. Great Landing Page Copy (.com)
98% of websites nowadays suuuuuck so bad because their copy is so vague, so blasé, so buzzword-y, that you can’t even understand what the heck is the product. This site keeps track of the ones that have a way with words for your inspiration.
Psst! If you liked some of these things then perhaps you’re our new coworker? As one of Sweden’s fastest-growing and most profitable companies, we’re on a hiring spree.
