The top colour trends of 2014

What have the most popular colours been this year? This infographic reveals all.

We're all creative people, and no one likes to follow trends. At the same time, though, it's good to know what they are. But how do you decide whether something is a trend or not?

When it comes to colour trends, stock image library Shutterstock's answer to that question is: by analysing the data. Using data from customer downloads from its collection of 40 million images, it's come up with what it considers some pretty conclusive results.

They've presented these results in the form of an infographic, which you can check out below. Click on the image to see a high-res version.

Typeface Memory Game

Typeface Memory Game


Brazilian studio PS2 designed a typeface memory game called "The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog," which offers 25 variations of the letter "a." Great practice for children and adults alike, the game is one of those rare products that succeeds in a trifecta of aesthetics, education and entertainment.

After playing the game, which asks players to match corresponding letterforms, players will increasingly recognize the subtle differences between the letters. Some of the letter types included in the game: Akzidenz Grotesk, Baskerville, Centaur, Garamond, Helvetica, Rockwell, Times New Roman, and Univers. A classy bunch, to be sure.

It is currently being printed and distributed by BIS Publishers and can be yours for just € 19,90 ($27.00 US) Buy it now from BIS or Amazon.

Memang lama nak try liquid ni, aih bila la nak ke KL ni? klo dapat ke sana kompem aku gi Ilham / Am (ex-wings vapor) nye kedai. Waduh2 kepingin sih!!!

Designing book covers ( kopipesediseng )

A quick bit of book cover inspiration.

The advantage of designing covers for a series/collection of books is that you can approach it like so…

Designed by New-York based Cardon Webb for Oliver Sacks. Via Design Milk.

Like so…

Designed by Angus Hyland of Pentagram for a series of Laurence King books.

So, and like so…

Designed by London-based YES Studio for Penguin.

In addition, here’s an excellent cover design resource: The Book Cover Archive, “for the appreciation and categorization of excellence in book cover design,” edited and maintained by Ben Pieratt of General Projects and Eric Jacobsen of Whisky Van Gogh Go.

More than 1,300 covers can be searched by designer, title, author, publisher, publication date, art director, photographer, illustrator, typeface, and genre.

9 Step Mudah Untuk Graduan Muda Bijak Mengurus Wang

Panduan ini khusus untuk graduan muda, yang baru memasuki fasa 7 tahun pertama.

Jadi, selama 7 tahun pertama ini,  jadikan 9 langkah mudah ini sebagai panduan hidup.

1. Buka akaun Tabung Haji secepat mungkin. Cukupkan simpanan RM 1,300 dalam akaun dan terus buat pendaftaran haji, walaupun masih bujang dan belum berkahwin.

2. Sasarkan simpanan sehingga wajib bayar zakat simpanan. Dan terus menyimpan menyimpan dan menyimpan.

3. Cari pasangan yang sudi naik kereta buruk sama-sama, asap hitam berkepul-kepul dan menyewa /duduk di rumah kecil-kecil sahaja dahulu.Sekufu dari sudut minda kekayaan.

4. Jangan beli kereta baru yang mahal-mahal. Graduan yang bijak tak terus beli kereta yang setiap tahun harganya pasti turun.

5. Dah bergatal bercinta, terus lah fikir bagaimana berkahwin tanpa perlu berhutang. Menabung. Elakkan jadi raja sehari seterusnya jadi hamba bank 10 tahun. Kalau tak mahu menabung, jangan langsung berfikir nak mengurat anak dara orang.

6. Beli aset sikit-sikit. Mula dengan modal yang rendah sahaja dulu. Apa-apa aset. Bajet khas pelaburan pertama.

7. Buat bajet siap-siap untuk:

• Beri duit kepada mak bapak setiap bulan.
• Bersedekah setiap bulan.
• Melaksanakan ibadah korban setiap tahun.

Wajibkan diri untuk amalkan perbuatan memberi seperti ini sebagaimana kita komited membayar cukai pendapatan kepada LHDN atau cukai pintu kepada Majlis Perbandaran atau cukai tanah kepada Pejabat Tanah.

8. Sediakan bajet yuran pembelajaran pasal urus dan labur duit melalui buku, ebook atau seminar. Barangsiapa yang tak melakukannya bersedialah membayar cukai kebodohan pada masa hadapan nanti.

9. Pekakkan telinga dengan kawan-kawan yang asyik ajak melancong, minum kopi Starbucks / ngeteh malam-malam dan kutuk kita sebab tak pakai telefon berjenama mahal. Kalau kita tak cukup duit, ada dia nak bagi duit dekat kita ?

Masuk sahaja fasa ke-2, iaitu 7 tahun kedua, tuan pasti tersenyum lebar…
