Congratulations to Sofie and William, our contest winners of this week (see all entries of contest week 3 here). Sofie has to deal with client reactions that are killing her creativity:
There are many ways in which to socialise today. Facebook, Twitter or Google+ are common among people all around the world. Sharing short texts, videos and photos is popular. But not only that. Social networking allows to stay tuned around the world. It is changing the way we live, the way we keep in touch and how we act.
Congratulations to Shani and Samuel, our contest winners of this week (see all entries of contest week 2 here). Shani makes us aware of the fact that not everybody might notice and care about bad kerning. With type designers like Rick Banks, Henrik Kubel or Freda Sack we at TYPO London 2012 hope that no issues will be left out when it comes to type design!
