We have a million fonts, a million colors, and a million piles of shit leaving our fingers all day long. It’s just sad to me, because when you look at this [vintage ephemera], it’s just about communication. One font and a thing called hierarchy. - http://alexcarpenter.tumblr.com/post...
Typography in practice is not choosing fonts or making fonts, it’s about shaping text for optimal user experience. - http://alexcarpenter.tumblr.com/post...

He said people who were right a lot of the time were people who often changed their minds. He doesn’t think consistency of thought is a particularly positive trait. It’s perfectly healthy — encouraged, even — to have an idea tomorrow that contradicted your idea today. - http://alexcarpenter.tumblr.com/post...

Lately I’ve been taking pictures of ads in New York subway stations and using bits and pieces of these ads to compose short visual poems. I’ve set up a tumblr blog to collect some of these poems, called Subway Cento. A couple of my favorites so far are the one shown above, along with distillation and Popmoney.
 
A cento is a poem made from other poems, and I’ve found that the language of underground ad copy is ripe with poetic material—a grab bag of big declarative statements, amusing attempts at empathy, and the latent hopes and desires and fears that drive the vernacular of modern-day consumerism. Mix it up in the right ways and there are surprising stories to be told, of love and loss and aching truth and staggering beauty.

They’re with you every time you pick up a new knife. Every knife is, in some way, still your first knife.

Change is important. When we were growing up, we got summers off from school. Summer vacation was change. It was something to look forward to. A few months of something different really meant a lot. We grow out of a lot as we grow up. One of the most unfortunate things we leave behind is a regular dose of change. Nowhere is this more evident than... - http://alexcarpenter.tumblr.com/post...
