Calligraphy by Mohamed Gaber
During this past spring the news have been flooded with images from the democratic revolts in Northern Africa and the Middle East. Our TV screens have shown more arabic typography than ever and for someone with a soft spot for all things arabesque and islamic (arabic) calligraphy, it’s been a joy to see the outpour of creativity from places such as Tahrir Square and Benghazi. Artist from different backgrounds and media have used their skills to spread democracy. One of them is Egyptian designer and calligrapher Mohamed Gaber. Beside doing politically charged calligraphy, Mohamed Gaber is working with illustrator and designer Ganzeer on a new, arabic typeface tailored for the digital world. The projects goes by the name Shasha and is supported by Google. When the typeface is completed it will be released open-source. Until then we will have to make due with the Shasha blog and Mohamed Gaber’s clean and wonderful calligraphy after the jump.

La Puglia in un piatto
If you ask “if you can only eat food from one country, what country would that be?” I think many of us would say Italy. The italian cuisine is versatile and it differs from the region to region. The design agency Usopposto have designed La Puglia in un piatto (Apulia on a plate) a cookbook that celebrates the food from one of those regions, Apulia. The cookbook containing 60 recipes that are accompanied by a series of graphic interpretations graphics applied to ceramic plates. They’ve also made a bespoke graphical font for the book that you can download from here. And you’ll find a bunch of photos of the book after the jump.Go on

Ikons
Ikons är en rockorkester som består av sex musiker och en videokonstnär/designer från Göteborg. Tillsammans skapar de ren, driven och lätt hypnotisk rock. Den 15 februari så kommer deras debutalbum och jag är sugen att skaffa det, inte enbart för att det är bra musik utan även för att Bedow Creative har skapat ett sånt snygg omslag till plattan. Rent, vitt och Futura, vad mer kan man begära?Go on
