Created by designer Derek Chan, Front Page Fingerprint is a visualization of the formal elements of the New York Times front page such as white space, headline size/length, body copy, imagery and overall colour palette. Each column is one day of February 2011 newspapers. A fascinating study of colour and design elements. I really want to view the colour palette element close up to see what trends emerge! From these images, you can see the more colourful papers are definitely weekend editions. Wouldn’t it be interesting to see this idea applied to a years worth of papers or even notable periods of history?

PBS IDENTITY MANUAL

Drool. The folks at Container List posted some photos of a PBS Identity Manual created by Chermayeff & Geismar back in 1984. The manual is part of the Milton Glaser Design Study Center and Archives at the School of Visual Arts in NYC. I wonder if non SVA folks can get access to the archives. Would love to study this manual in person.

Midi Turns 30: A revolutionary open music standard lives on.

In the early days of the analog synthesizer, there was no practical way to communicate between electronic instruments. Syncing one synth to another involved a lot of guess-and-check: listening carefully and waiting for beats to match up. Overtime, manufacturers like Korg, Roland, and Sequential Circuits began developing systems that would allow their products to interface with one another. These systems were far from perfect: the Control Voltage / Gate (CV / Gate) method, arguably the most successful, was still typically reduced to changing two parameters of a sound: its pitch and duration. A single MIDI link, by contrast, can carry information to as many as 16 separate devices. Or, better put, the MIDI link transmits information between these devices.

GIRL SKATEBOARDS: MODERN CHAIR SERIES

Back in the 90s, when Girl Skateboards issued a limited run of decks sporting images of iconic Eames furniture, artist David Galletly was a proud owner. Fast forward to now and after many attempts to track down a few of these collectible decks, he decided to just make them himself. Not too shabby! Girl Skateboards should take note and get their reissue on. [via]
