You Can't Miss: Cut Acrylic and Veer

Cut Acrylic Art:

























Lasers cut out the details in the art created by Sandra Fettingis who makes wall art and jewelry. "My primary medium – cut acrylic – is clean, manufactured, and industrial," she says. "However, the patterns cut into it and the colors present stand in contrast to these qualities by individualizing the mass-produced material."

Her recent exhibition featured on colourlovers is full of neon colors and looks both modern and retro at the same time.


Veer's favorite fonts of the year (not this year ... last year)















Veer makes it easier to be creative (their words not mine). With an insane amount of fonts, images, wallpapers and screensavers, and activity books, Veer has a lot to offer a bored designer. Surfing through their site, I found this slideshow of 2010 fonts. It was pretty cool.

I really enjoyed how the typography used to create the slideshow itself. They didn't just make a list or display the font, the slides really showed off the fonts.

  1. I absolutely love that slide show, and love you've given me a new website to use for inspiration! It's great that the slide show also gives some explanation on why these fonts are so noteworthy and what purpose they could serve in your design. Thanks so much for showing this, I've now got this site on my toolbar!
