The Dot and the Line: A Romance in Lower Mathematics
Produced by legendary Chuck Jones, this little film about the love between a freedom-loving (female) dot and a dependable (male) line is a treasure of sprightly language and delightful visuals.
It is enchanting, charming, witty – everything one could expect from a master of animation who was responsible for creating such cultural icons as Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Wile E. Coyote and Roadrunner. And incidentally, The Dot and the Line won the 1965 Oscar for Best Animated Short movie. Read more
Hate Maths? Start doodling.

Bauer’s Family Tree of Printing Types
Gorgeous bit of type history discovered on Imprint: In 1937, on the 100th anniversary of the founding of The Bauer Type Foundry in 1837, the firm issued “Bauer’s Family Tree of Printing Types.” It’s a whimsical, slightly inaccurate and completely gorgeous work of art, a rare treat for any typography aficionado. I just love how you can visually follow the history of type.

Here’s to the crazy ones
Steve Jobs died yesterday and the news pretty much paralised me for most of today. I hadn’t realised how much this one man did for me. How many of the things I love in my life I owe to him and his vision. So I have to say this, as publicly as I can:
Thank you Steve. For my tools of the trade, for my toys, for giving me the means to create things I can be proud of. For making it believable that it is not necessary to compromise on one’s dreams. For making it that bit easier for me not to compromise on mine. Thank you and I hope you’re having fun reinventing Paradise.
