Spiekerman types Nokia

Erik Spiekermann calls himself an information architect. He is equally comfortable and prolific as a writer, graphic and typeface designer (ff Meta, itc Officina, ff Info, ff Unit, LoType, Berliner Grotesk etc), but type is always at the epicentre of this communication dynamo. He founded MetaDesign in 1979, started FontShop in 1988, is a board member of ATypI and the German Design Council, and president of the istd International Society of Typographic Designers. In July 2000, Erik withdrew from the management of MetaDesign Berlin - which created a bit of a stir - and set up his new studio, United Designers Network in the same neighbourhood. PingMag was very lucky to enjoy some of his precious time to talk about his latest project for Deutsche Bahn (German railways) and share some general thoughts about design.

Nokia 6085

The ChupaChupsBlowfish inspires my daily phonecalls on my brand new Nokia 6085. Yep yep, a brand new cellphone. Though I've always bought Nokia phones I'm sometimes bothered about the structure of their interface but heck, they sell good stuff. My first Nokia,a 3310, still runs smoothly and nearly perfect operates untill today.

DuPont in transportation

And yez, 3D again, did I just discover 3D, no no no.. I allready posted on that topic but I was caught by the last post and didn't want to keep this for myself. DuPont now exploits it's transportation-support expertise.

The road of tomorrow is being created today

One day when I'm big and old I'll settle myself with a big bag of patatochips and get my 3D skills going, in the mean time I lean back and enjoy the melody...
