I loved all of these, awesome stuff, cool to print blow up and put on your studio wall. Nice post
Glad you like them.
Thank God! Someone with bnrias speaks!
Of course these are great sources of information for all designers and developers. Thanks for sharing this information.
There is no overlap between serif and sans-serif typefaces, and in fact there could be said to be an overlap between black letter and script, so why present “The Evolution of Typography” in the form of a venn diagram? It’s using a scientific representation incorrectly – it makes no sense!
Fantastic collection. I love the Map of Online Communities, very creative
The Only thing, I want to say is “Good Work by author on this article”. Bookmarked it.
