From the pages of my notebooks - Ideas that got the chop.

My phone did this when I wasn’t looking

I have wanted to do a series of imagined spaces from a recession-depressed viewpoint, based on this.

Type sketches

As of yet this is not strictly speaking a lost cause. It is still in (almost) development.

The idea is to reduce ink and paper use by creating a lingua franca of fonts, to be supplied on all computers. It may be ugly, but the idea is the key. It is for in-house proofs and prints where beauty is not called for, just efficiency. Since I first began work on this, others have had the same idea, and got the job done, most notably John Maeda and Spranq. Where this differs is in discarding parts of the font itself, including shaving off curves, condensing, cutting some horizontals and even some verticals. It is harshly geometric and could be used to save paint on naval inscriptions down to tiny legal notices. As I said though, its not beautiful.

…but swine flu

sorry.

The UN has rules that bikes are afforded equal rights to any other road vehicles. Yet, road design negates this sentiment. The world is, and should be, open to you on a bicycle.

I had the idea to take an old frame and cover in in a map, then varnish it all, making sure to coat it properly so that if needed it could actually be used.
