I designed this text mosaic of the Apple logo for Steve Jobs. I was really bummed when I found out he died. I thought about doing something to celebrate his crazy life and amazing contributions to our world. Most of my ideas were pretty cheesy, well really lame os more like it. So I did nothing. This idea however seemed kinda cool to me. I used Wordle (awesome) or part of it, got some text from Wikipedia and then filled in the blanks in Adobe Illustrator. Anyway, thank you Steve, rest in peace.

CANADA TYPE »Press Gothic« Type Designers Anniversary (for widescreen displays)

Wallpaper 1920x1200 created with Patrick Griffins (Canada Type) geometric headline face»Press Gothic Pro«.

»Press Gothic is a revival of Aldo Novarese’s Metropol typeface, released by Nebiolo in 1967 as a competitor to Stephenson Blake’s Impact (designed by Goeffrey Lee). Though Metropol enjoyed a few short months of popularity and use in Italy, Germany and France, Impact won the technological outlasting battle by moving on to film type then to computer outlines bundled with mainstream software, while Metropol never made it past the metal state until now. Too bad really, since this is one of the few faces that could have played well with all the horrendous stretch'n'squeezing of the 1970s.

Just like its inspiration, Press Gothic aims to be a fresh alternative to big economical poster fonts with clear sans serif forms and an urgent, strong, yet elegant design appeal.«


The second typeface in use is Zuzana Lickos distinctive, unique »Mrs. Eaves«.
