random inspirations & notes

Oded Ezer's homage to Milton Glaser's I ❤ NY logo
- this project reminds me of the different journeys a single letter can take & express itself
- highly recognizable yet beautiful expression in variation
- other type samples ("Schrift in Form" exhibition in Klingspor museum, Brazilian 'Tupigrafia' magazine)

In Memoriam: World Trade Center
- the simplicity and strong symbolization of the images related to the overall message
- small yet clear type, bold type on the main events that clearly further adds on to the image

Touch
- RFID technology based products, connecting to the physical and social network
- social & playful assisted by technology
- Picnic Conference RFDI networked Photo Booth: resulted in random and chaotic, emerged from physical, social proximity, low-threshold physical interactions to grow online social network
