“The Mirror”

Author: William Orpen (Irish, 1878-1931)
Date: 1900
Medium: Oil on canvas
Location: Tate

The sitter in this portrait is Emily Scobel, a model from the Slade School of Art. Orpen was briefly engaged to her. The room is apparently an accurate portrayal of Orpen’s lodgings, but the shallow pictorial depth and ‘aesthetic’ arrangement of objects is based on Whistler’s famous portrait of his mother.

Prototype Real / Digital Info Interface System

Using projection and gestures to create interactive relationship with information - video embedded below:

Fujitsu Laboratories has developed a next generation user interface which can accurately detect the users finger and what it is touching, creating an interactive touchscreen-like system, using objects in the real word.

“We think paper and many other objects could be manipulated by touching them, as with a touchscreen. This system doesn’t use any special hardware; it consists of just a device like an ordinary webcam, plus a commercial projector. Its capabilities are achieved by image processing technology.”

Using this technology, information can be imported from a document as data, by selecting the necessary parts with your finger.

Understanding The Difference Between Type And Lettering

Understanding The Difference Between Type And Lettering :

myfonts:

This great article on Smashing Magazine goes in depth about the difference between typography and lettering, as well as the history of these art forms.

Since these terms are frequently used incorrectly, here’s an easy way to remember the difference: if it was drawn by hand, it’s lettering. If it was typed on a keyboard, it’s typography.

“The strategic positioning ‘Strong Together’ was visually articulated in the overlapping of the individual letters of the brandmark. A broad spectrum of colours was used to represent core internal pillars of love, hope, strength, wisdom and belonging creating a positive brand expression for both internal and external audiences. Developing the system further, supergraphics were created using enlarged, cropped sections of the brand device. This strong visual language and colour system has been applied to all facets of the business from online, office interiors, merchandise and wayfinding signage.”

Senior designer based in Sydney, Australia. Focused on graphic design, branding and print design.
