It makes me sad seeing trees pulled up, even ones in weird concrete containers next to the street. They were a nice little green patch in a sea of concrete (sometimes I am so NOT a city person!) and I kind of liked the contrast between the boxy white containers and the tree shapes.

I hope they’re going to put in more trees although I’m not getting my hopes up.

The Journal of Urban Typography

Jen — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 18:21:37 +0000

Back when I was a painting and printmaking major in art school, I scoffed at my design major friends’ fascination with typography. “How boring” I thought. Fortunately I have since come to realize that I was dead wrong- typography IS fascinating, particularly when let loose into the world as seen in The Journal of Urban Typography. The Journal is “dedicated to the documentation and study of signs, word fragments, and typography created with utilitarian intent in urban environments.” It’s an especially fun site because you can drag the images around and arrange them how you like, exploring interactions between different colors and type styles.
