“Just in time for the New Year! At long last, we can share with the world a taste of the Tagged Tanakh (TT) prototype!” JPS Interactive
We spent the better half of 2009 working with JPS to develop the Tagged Tanakh prototype and at long last, we can give you a sneak peek.
I spend a lot of time looking at things. No really, A LOT OF TIME. It makes sense, seeing as I’m a designer by profession. Aside from the obvious, inspiration, I find looking at things is meditative (or maybe it’s the seduction of drone, for me). In any case, it’s something I thoroughly enjoy. So I thought I’d share with you, a few of the places that have been calling my droning gaze.
The art of arranging type is perhaps one of the most important studies for a graphic designer. Typography is such a complex and sophisticated examination, you can easily lose yourself in the finer intricacies of this study. You can also amass quite an extensive personal library of type faces and spend exorbitant amounts of time hunting and sifting for the right font.
This is where font management software comes in. Or at least, that has been the idea.
With the increase in standard, out of the factory screen resolution for computer displays from 800px by 600px to 1024px by 768px, web designers across the internets were freed to make use of a wider canvas on which to design beautiful websites. And we loved it. This is anything but news.
However, along with these changes, a minor oversight was exploited.
After 2.5 years of abuse, the time is ripe for a fresh redesign at Repeat Penguin. I’ve made little attempt to keep this undertaking private, nor to keep the reasons behind it off the internets. Let’s face it, the wallpaper was pealing, the flooring was curling up and the rooms were drafty.
It was a bit of a sprint squeezing it in, amongst client projects, side projects and general craziness, but alas, we are here and I couldn’t be more excited to share.
