Free iPhone Toolbar Icons

I'm just interested in logo design. And Just a few days ago, Apple released 'The New iPad'. I was searching Apple application's icons designs and I just found 'Free iPhone Toolbar Icons' I felt that this logos just show what the tools really do. I attached below article, so you can look at it.

 Icons: Free iPhone Toolbar Icons

Connection between movie and fashion

So the movie "The Hunger Games" is based off of Susan Collin's novel by the same name. The city in the novel is described as a pioneer in avant-garde fashion. The taste of the citizens of the Capitol is often depicted as artificial, exaggerated, and disturbingly colorful. A collaboration between "The Hunger Games" and Rodarte, one of the biggest names on the runway, proved to be an interesting partnership, especially to join forces on designing a blog extending off of the original Capitol website.

movie proxy website

I was searching for movies that are in theaters this week, and I found a proxy website of the Capitol, a city featured in "The Hunger Games".
The design of the website is very futuristic and unique from other movie websites in which all information is aligned horizontally (as you scroll down the webpage, you will see a page-scroller that directs you to the right). The design of the data and eccentric graphs are also interesting to analyze.

Typography Scarves

While looking at wearable typography, I found a brand called The Little Factory based in Hong Kong that makes typography scarves. These scarves aren't going to keep you warm in the winter, but they are another example of how typography works its way into our everyday lives.

There are more colors and styles on their website here!

Top: Helvetica in white

Top: numbers
Bottom: Helvetica in black

Bottom: Helvetica in green


Typography as Jewelry

Etsy designer Jen Murse has gotten a lot of positive feedback on these typography necklaces and rings made from laser cut acrylic. Not only can you have a favorite type, but you can also wear it as an accessory.

Her Helvetica necklace has been the most popular, and also comes in both red and black.



Murse's Kern rings are the cheapest at $15, and the necklaces run at $22; only a fraction of the price of the real font!

You can check out more of her work here.
