Domus Intersections
These spreads are from the March 2009 Intersections part of the Domus Magazine. The themes behind it are the mechanisms, strengths, frailties and possible scenarios on the eve of Web 3.0.
Onlab designed these pages, they wanted to create a tactile interaction by the reader. By folding the pages, two illustrations by Tobias Krafczyk appear: Miss & Mister Web 2.0. I think it is a very brave & creative design layout that is well executed.

Ampersands..
Lately I’ve had a consuming obsession with ampersands. Seriously. What a sweet little glyph, it's kicky and cute, and the American Typewriter ampersand is tattoo-worthy ;). Perhaps most interesting is the typographic history that ampersands hold. Italic type was developed independently from roman type, and only became a roman subsidiary in the mid-16th century. Italic types were based on 15th century Italian handwriting (hence the name?) and they look thoroughly calligraphic. This is especially apparent in the italic ampersands in many old-style typefaces. It isn’t just a sloped roman, but a totally independent form!
The Ampersand-My New Obsession
I'm not the only one in love with this beautiful symbol. I found a fun site for other people like myself, who are also seduced by the letter form of the ampersand. I suggest you bookmark The Ampersand, the project concept is by Stephen Gose.
