Central Scrutinizer

A great illustrator, producer and buongustaio.

From an old interview:

* Whose vocals are on “11h30″ & what are the lyrics to the chorus?
It’s my voice! & the different syllables of the words are randomly mixed in a manner that makes a kind of text that people can interpret.

As you can see since some months weeks days the new version of this site is now online.
The late english blog is now in homepage while the italian one in /italiano (yeah, a mess.), I updated the page with useful infos in case you would pretend to be me at a party and I added a page with the last fruits of my labour.

About graphics, except for the posts that alternate for the title and the link the 6 colors of this version as already see in the Whitezone (whereof is the negative) I postponed the choose of a new font that will replace the old Dirty Ego by the grand master Eduardo Recife used since the second version dated back to 2005. Who imaged that in a few years it will transformed in a Dirty Egoverrated?

Latest changes is something that match uselessness and approximation: a blackboard made in flash (not yet finished!) which to color the part of the layout leave empty for the shift on the left.

To give meaning to this post, the Daft Punk played with a theremin:

- Christoffer Hald between random colors and typos.
- After this journey is not difficult write a letter.
- .ton ro ,lufesu Pilf dnif dloucenoemos byaM.
- Some glyphs probably loved by Peter Beard.
- Bryan Katzel and his one page site (using my Vertical Tiny Scrolling script).

- New rainbow, Sci-fi, or 80s? As usual New (now not so new) Crest for the logo trends for 2008.

- Yet another guide about a theme where is always useful to investigate, web typography (tu take with this talk’s slides)

- From a man who love typography to an agency who love dust.

- Home, stylish home.

- Stefan Sagmeister and photographers, designers and people like me and you share emotions.

Yesterday I was searching in YouTube for a tutorial that could help me to fight the breath of cod I eated three days ago, and after two hours guided by serendipity I happened by chance in a nice music video where a band was playing inside a children book, the ones with the pages made of paperboard full of levels which is possible to move some print figures.
This morning as usual I forgot the name of the group and the song and YouTube refuse to support me, so I found only a group of videos where print (or not) design techniques or styles like collage, stencils, wicked worn look where used for the background -or main - animation.
I ask to my music guru Tulsas if he remember some related video, and in a couple of hours we found these ones:

Ehi, ciao. Some hours ago have been announced the finalists of the “SXSW Web Awards“, the prize assigned during the South By Southwest Interactive Festival - an event dedicated to design and multimedia ( these are the speakers) organized from ten years in Austin, Texas.
Among the nominees of the CSS category,

sites that push the boundaries of CSS coding technology, bringing together top-notch design and content with standards compliant and accessible code.

appear it, my loved son: The Horizontal Way.

Good.

I’ve never been in Texas, even in the United States, or in America. Also outside the Europe and now that I thing better the location more far from Italy has been Nizza, and Montecarlo, visited with the school trip.
Someone says me that in America there’s in every home a box where you can see the images in movement like the cinematografo, and from other little boxes the people listen everyday to the music and even to some guys that report the things written in the newspapers (mah!). And also that build palaces that arrive as far as the clouds and the sky is full of giant flying balls that someone defines dangerous…The same people suggest me to visit Nuova York, because they say is quite in the neighbourhoods, and I hope to do it: is a life that I want to climb up the Big Ben.
