Moving on to a another blog

As some of you might have noticed, I’ve stopped posting on Whatype. It has been a great ride, but as a professional I’ve moved to other ‘places and practices’. I’m not sure if somewhere in the future I won’t have another question that needs a Whatype answer. For the time being, I’m posting articles on [...]

Align yourself with the world

After an afternoon aligning too much stuff in Flash I had this idea. I like this concept of aligning with the world. It has lots of meanings that you can take from it, from saving our world to help your fellow man. Please let me know your readings of this poster on the comments. Poster: [...]

Failing in Copenhagen

I’ve just read this amazing article by Mark Lynas on the Guardian website about the Copenhagen Summit. I did this poster about it. It just makes me very angry that politics is placed before our rights as humans and the survival of the Earth as we know it. By Pedro Monteiro

Copenhagen and Hopenhagen goes Nopenhagen

The Copenhagen climate change summit gave the world hope that global warming would be addressed in an unprecedented way by the world leaders. In the end the deal signed was weak and felt short of what most of us where expecting and what our planet needs. From Copenhagen we were wishing for Hopenhagen and all [...]

What type of life shall we have?

This is another great photograph from NASA. With pictures like this designing something is soooo easy!!!! Since COP15 is on the run I thought I might show how life on this planet hangs from (literally) a thin blue line. On the picture you can see just how small in proportion the atmosphere is and to [...]

2010 Calendar done with the Complex Grid

This is the Whatype 2010 Calendar. I’ve done using the Complex Grid. It’s almost an year since I’ve posted the article for this kind of grid and it has had a lot of views. I thought that making something using this grid and explaining the details could be fun and useful. One of the advantages [...]

Helvetiva – a hell of a typeface!

What type of shapes are out there? III

These four images are among the first observations made by the new Wide Field Camera 3 aboard the upgraded NASA Hubble Space Telescope. The image gives viewers a panoramic portrait of a colorful assortment of 100,000 stars residing in the crowded core of Omega Centauri, a giant globular cluster.

What’s it worth?

It’s still so worth it! After a long time feeling drain out and with nothing to say here, I’ve found this amazing typeface from my friend Network Osaka. I really admire his work (you can check it here) and this typeface just ‘made’ me do something with it. I shall experiment with it a lot [...]
