iPhone Wallpapers 01

Just posted a couple sets of iPhone wallpapers, including some stuff from the never-published Phase04 Habitat PDF mag. Also threw in some Midei City stuff, and some work from my in-progress side project called ‘Upload’. Head over to the link below for downloads, and enjoy:

And shoot us an email if you have some freebies that you’d like to share.

Featured: Zero per Zero

Zero per Zero is a design, infographics and illustration studio in Seoul, South Korea. We came across some beautiful transit system infographic work from these guys (Kim Ji-Hwan and Jin Sol ), and figured we’d pass it along. Check out more work, along with details and descriptions of the images below, at:

Georgia 11pt

Another experiment from Gabe – zooming way in on the pixelated character set of Georgia at 11 points on screen. So the pixels were scaled up, then rebuilt as circles in a blue/black/gray palette to match the anti-aliasing you get in your browser. Small sizes read a lot like regular on-screen type, but you get some interesting abstractions when the characters are presented at larger sizes.

This is one of many side projects that has come together off of earlier projects and experiments. One element from wherever (in this case Phase 02 | Community), revisited and enhanced, then served back up in a place like the Phase blog for the hell of it. Maybe this comes out at some point on client work, but for now, its innocence is intact.
