Lovelines is an exploration of human desire, made in flash.

From the site creators:

Using a data collection engine created by the artists for their recent collaboration, Lovelines examines thousands of blogs every few minutes to find expressions of love and hate, posted by all manner of people. When it can, Lovelines identifies and saves the age, gender, and geographical location of the person who wrote the post, and then presents that information along with the post. The entries range from frivolous to profound, offering a glimpse into the hearts and minds of people blogging about their wants and needs.

As a web designer or developer, you probably want to incorporate a logotype into your web site at some point. So you put you put a nice, blue logo in the header on a dark background. Then suddenly your client’s client prints it and gets an ugly negative square on top. Or perhaps just uses their mobile phone to browse and get’s the same unwanted effect. This article is about placing the visual logotype into the document in it’s original form as a raw, default representative. It’s also about what role the logotype plays semantically in the document; is it a part of the design or content? Finally, I’ll tell you why using <h1> for logotype rendering is a really really bad idea.

Found this in Copenhagen last weekend. “Knark” means “drugs” in swedish. I think the danes might be taking a piss at the harch swedish drug- & alcohol laws, but since it’s meant to be serious (it’s a russian stout) I’m not quite sure that’s the case. Nice typography anyway (eh…).
