Exceed Maximum – BMW

 

Here's a nicely executed concept for BMW M3 Coupe at Hamburg Airport utilising a 50x2m light wall in the middle of the arrival hall to portray a car that exceed limits by exceeding its limits.

 

Advertising agency Serviceplan created a headline out of half letters, the super shiny floor then reflected the other half. As a result, BMW doubled the media space for free.

 

After discussing this a little bit, we concluded that they've missed a trick with the standard car shot at the end and that something more inventive continuing the reflections theme could have been done. The orientation of the type is changed from the first word to the second, so you are alredy reading it with your head turned which would then suit a car shot from either the front or the rear.

Typography in Water

  • YouWorkForThem have choosen five of their most popular fonts and stuck them underwater, and I'm loving the outcome.

    Agostina
    Agostina is a unique typeface in many ways. The obvious being that is is a Sans-Serif typeface that contains both beginning caps and ending lowercase swash letters. This instantly gives endless typographic possibilities to the user. Agostina takes advantage of the OpenType font format that opens further exploration with a full latin and limited alternate characters as well. With almost 300 characters, Agostina is a workhorse and a must own typeface.

  • Black Slabbath
    The heaviest typeface in the world, Black Slabbath. There's only one thing about this new typeface that isn’t colossally black: the razor-thin white space. It slices through and between geometric characters, creating a juxtaposition of contrasts and rhythms.

  • Gavin
    Gavin began as a hand-drawn exploration of George Bruce's Seven-Line Pica, and then evolved into the Jekyll and Hyde of all handset creations. This handset collection contains a huge amount of letter designs, with each letter originally drawn by hand. Great for setting strong and sometimes quirky headers for magazines, books and websites, Gavin is one of our most intense and diverse handset collections to date. Available in two styles, the regular style contains 407 letters and the alternate style another 430 letters.

  • Strike
    STRIKE Is a hand-set typeface that looks as fresh as if you just put your can back into your bag. These letters are so detailed that we could not make it a typeface, we tried and it virtually blew up the font application. This set contains alternates so your letters don't get so stale looking. Try flipping letters around and mirroring them for added flavor.

  • P22 Constructivist Set
    Font mavens of the world unite! These six Constructivist typefaces recreate the bold graphic design of early Soviet Era Russian Artists such as Rodchenko and Popova. Seize control of the means of desktop production with this revolutionary font collective! Now includes 52 Constructivist Extras.

  • You can also get these as iPhone4 and iPad wallpapers.

    Veer Type Transfers

    I received this rather lovely sample pack from image & type library Veer this morning, which contains a set of six dry transfer sheets (you know, like the Letraset stuff, from the olden times). 

    The pack showcases some new typefaces they've added to their library, including a couple of exclusives from Alejandro Paul, as well as some of their older ones, including Rian Hughes' lovely Mellotron.

    To get your hands on this awesome give-away visit www.veer.com and register (or sign in) and follow the instructions.  Happy rubbing.
