Smule - Ocarina
Now I can play the Ocarina on my iPhone! (although, when harmonized, it sounds a bit more like a Mellotron - bonus!) Finally, an iPhone app that’s fun AND useful, thanks technology! (and Alan for finding this)

Go vote tomorrow.
No commentsCaslon
I found a page of William Caslon’s 1734 type specimen in Wikipedia. It features many of Caslon’s typefaces (which he modeled after the then dominant Dutch Fell Types) some of which have been revived and are currently known simply as Caslon (like, as in, Adobe Caslon, ITC Caslon, Caslon 540, etc.)
Click on the image to enlarge it, there’s lots of nice stuff to study. I also found this informative history, and free download link to the digitalized versions of The Fell Types (the link is at the bottom of the page).

Shepard Fairey in DC
Shepard Fairy brought the Obey aesthetic to DC for an Opening at Irvine Contemporary this past Saturday. The show, which also features the incredible Al Farrow and DJ Spooky is definitely worth checking out. Regime Change Starts at Home.

I found all this awesome old Polaroid branding and packaging on FFFFound. It seems like most of this work was done in the 60’s and 70’s - really inspirational stuff.
Paul Giambarba seems to know a lot about Polaroid, as he is the guy that launched all of this branding in 1958.
From the Bio on his website:
“Paul Giambarba initiated Polaroid’s corporate image development and product identity in 1958. His innovative black packaging successfully subdued the dominance of Kodak yellow at point-of-purchase and spawned a vogue of black packaging within the industry. Creator of the ubiquitous Polaroid color stripes, one of the most widely imitated design devices of the last several decades, he designed and produced hundreds of Polaroid packages and collateral material including consumer literature and “How to Make Better Polaroid Instant Pictures,” a trade book for Doubleday & Co.”
Way to go Paul!
