12 Examples of Paragraph Typography
Jon Tan runs down the basics of paragraphs on the web, with twelve clean examples of how to enhance web typography in little, but helpful ways.
“In the Web era, designers create narrative spaces made up of text, images, video, etc. We add context and legibility to those formats. We also create spaces where people express themselves. We work with enacted narratives where the content is already available, and emergent narratives to be created over time. Instead of just styling symbols, we’re styling bytes in fluid narrative spaces. We’re bytographers; literally, the writers of bytes, not just glyphs. Yet still, at the heart of this explosion in publishing, is the humble and beautiful paragraph.” - Jon Tan

MonoCase.
“MonoCase (former Me+You) is digital designer Emil Olssons platform for random play and experiments. This is my Rubiks Cube. On showcase here is a mix of projects I do professionaly and things I do just for fun. I’ve been working in the Internet industry for over 10 years and I’m currently working as Lead Designer at Bazooka Interactive. At Bazooka I work for large swedish clients such as SonyEricsson, Freemantle, H&M, TV4, Tele2, Seat, Regeringskansliet but also smaller actors like the photographer Andreas Lind, the Latvian pop star Dj Ella and the hair studio Folk Stockholm to name some. I also take on small art projects and of course every project is treated with the same care and attention.”

Normally most inspirational things are just for the senses to take in and your brain to ponder on afterward. With D///FEST2008, they take it one further and have made their Flash visualization line clock an open source download. It’s based on NullDesign’s 3D engine, which is another interesting bit of code to check out.
