“Enhance!” Redux

Heh–here’s a nice little satire of phony image enhancement on TV (see previous montage):

Of course, image scientists continue to work on all sorts of new craziness, so it’s all just a matter of time… right?

(rt) Type: Obsessions, apologies, and “little cows”

• Obsessive/productive:
  • Et tu…? It’s “300&65 Ampersands.” [Via]
  • CreativePro rounds up Jessica Hische’s full set of drop cap letters, from A to Z. Check out her site for higher-res glory.
• “Bestiary” features lovely type & color palettes.
• Letters as a war machine. (Gerwalk much?)
• The Panic guys cleverly used Helvetica slashes to emulate the look of air mail in email.
• Dig this letterpress “Ctrl Z” apology card; nerdy & sweet. (And yes, I too would prefer “Cmd-Z.” FWIW, our toddler calls the Cmd/Apple cloverleaf shapes “little cows.” Go figure.) [Via]
