or you just a dork like me? haha thanks to my buddy Tyler for tweeting this
A new article in the NY Times Magazine has awed me again. This feature was about the advancement of women’s tennis. “Women have certainly never hit harder and not just on account of improved equipment. They’re stronger, bigger, faster, better trained and pushed above all by the example of the Williams sisters.” The interactive slideshow of entitled “Women Who Hit Hard” by Dewey Nicks is breathtaking. Not to mention the opening slide has amazing typography! One of my favorite photographs (the bottom one) is of Samantha Stosur of Australia, where Nicks captures the ball being absorbed by the racket. So cool.

Don’t you hate it when you check your phone and there are no texts? “No one loves you!” But then when you do get a text, “Someone loves you!” I’m working on a series of backgrounds that work off of texts/no texts, because admit, your life revolves around text messaging! I’ll post this one soon with the other designs to download. If you really want it, just ask me!
**I don’t really know these celebrities, just changed my friends names.
Edge Gallery in Asheville. Love this sign—the letters are 3D steel that wrap around the corner of the building. Amazing.
Awesome article on NY Times about the redesign of the subway map. Has an interactive comparison to your choice of 4 versions of the map throughout the years. My favorite, of course, being the classic 1972 map by Massimo Vignelli. Below the neat interaction, there’s a comparison of how Manhatten has changed shapes… haha, you would think because it is a map, they’d keep important things like actual proportion of the land the same. Below that, it shows the differences of this new map to the version it is replacing. Such differences include, shadows below the subway lines (to make them stand out more… really?) and City Island re-appears on the map (again, really?? why was it missing?). Overall very good article and critique.
