“Designed to help explore and express the beautiful geometries of circles rotating in circles. Inspired by the old spirograph toy, but not constrained by its practicalities."

READ THIS WHEN YOU’RE TIRED OF TRYING
“You weren’t made to quit. On the days when everything feels heavy and the progress feels invisible, pause-but don’t give up. You’ve already made it through moments you once thought you couldn’t. That strength is still in you.”
“It took me 35 years to realize that the quality of your sleep affects not the following day, but the day after that. I don’t like this at all.” — Casey Handmer

NASA’s Deep Space Network
Caught a glimpse of this cool logo and embroidered patch on my X timeline, via @patricia_klein_ was immediately intrigued:
The following quote is from NASA’s Deep Space Network web page:
When it comes to making a long-distance call, it’s hard to top NASA’s Deep Space Network. The largest and most sensitive scientific telecommunications system in the world, the antennas of the DSN are our indispensable link to missions venturing beyond Earth. The DSN provides a crucial connection with our spacecraft, receiving never before seen images and scientific information on Earth, propelling our understanding of the universe, our solar system and ultimately, our place within it.
New York ACTUALLY HAS 12 SEASONS
“It is currently an astonishing 3.25 standard deviations warmer than expected for Jul 08. You poor bastard.”
Via: 12seasons.nyc
How this Works: The goal of this page is to capture, not the astrological or meteorological seasons of New York, but the experiential seasons of a New Yorker. A creature who lives their life largely outside the traditional comforts of climate-controlled cars…

Have asked if the Feedly app icon could be tackled as well, given I designed that back in 2011, and is a pretty well used RSS app.
Alternative Layout System
Alternative Layout System — inspired by techniques from Hebrew & Arabic manuscripts, to challenge conventional layouts.

✏️ Having had a long history print and design, starting as an 18 years old apprentice paste-up artist: waxing bromide strips of typeset columns onto card layout grids, I’m always drawn to anything that evokes those past experiences with layout, typography etc.

“This research rethinks paragraph formatting, inspired by techniques from Hebrew and Arabic manuscripts to challenge conventional layouts. Funded by the Leenaards Foundation and supported by Adobe’s plugin tools, the project led to the “Alternative Layout System” plugin, now available for free download on the website. A publication showcasing designers’ experiments with these scripts is also accessible on the website’s “Publication.”
