Not sure why my “kitchen idea” continues today, but a fact is a fact: now I have not only a frying pan but also a big ceramic stove and some fried eggs! ;)

Interesting (even for me) to see how a tiny Power button can evolve into some kitchen utensils… :)))

(Larger size of this illustration is available, too — just click the 640×640 image above.)

Typeface vs. Font

TYPEFACE:

A typeface is a single set of characters that share stylistic unity. A typeface usually comprises an alphabet of letters, numbers, punctuation and diacritical marks.

FONT:

Old school typographers defined a font as a complete character set of a particular typeface in one size. When type made the leap to the digital realm, a font became an electronic file that rendered the typeface in all sizes.

(via FontShop)

It’s so nice someone can explain the difference so clearly and simply! :)

Not sure exactly, why I came up with this today… Maybe because I have a birthday tomorrow? Or because Winter is coming, cold and snowy?…

Anyway, that’s the illustration that showed up in my mind this evening, and I just translated it into pixels… :)

Just a funny illustration I came up with today… All done in Fireworks, 100% vector work (I only used Illustrator to better import the .eps dribbble logo). And the vinyl record also scales really well! :)

EDIT @ 19:50: Based on David Brooks‘s comments, I have worked on the reflection a bit more:
