File this one under “R”, for Ridiculously COOL! The kind folks at Design Commission have created an aluminum stencil in the shape of an iPhone. It features all the uniquely iPhone shapes and icons that any designer would need when sketching out their latest and greatest iPhone App. I haven’t done any iPhone App designing [...]
I’m sure, as a designer, many of you are familiar with MyFont’s site What The Font!. Well, if not, here is a brief overview. Say you are looking at a design but can’t digure out what font is used in it. Enter What The Font! (WTF!). Simply upload the image to WTF! and it will scan the image, ask you for letter recognition, and then suggest a list of fonts that it could be. Usually, it is very good at detecting the font.
Now enter WTF! plus the iPhone. MyFont has created an FREE iPhone app version of WTF!. It does the same great thing as the site, but with the ease of mobility. This is great for spotting designs/fonts in the wild.
Take a picture of the font in question, crop it for better accuracy…
Walk through the letter verification process…
Take a look at the font suggestions…
Choose which font you like and email the font info to yourself or open it up in Safari…
This is a very cool app that will be a great addition to the arsenal of any designer on the move. Go get it here!
- God bless
