Student Project: FF Acanthus Borders
Image by FontFont
Student Project in cooperation with Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft, Berlin, 2006
Usually, a designer looks for a suitable typeface for a given text. The students of the third semester in communication design at the HTW changed this approach for their semester project with Prof. Jürgen Huber so that the question now was: which text fits to my typeface?
Different texts for the FontFonts thus making very different books: from manually sewed book about fashion design to the leaded short story collection by Edgar Allan Poe. From oversized book of folded paper planes to the classic “Animal farm” bound in cloth and in a suitable slipcase. Here FF Acanthus Borders by Akira Kobayashi has been chosen.
Hiking During Bird Walk

Participants were able to cover various habitats during their walk - trees, shrubs, and mixed-grass - and learned that different types of birds use different types of habitat.

Caroline had not noticed how many bears there were until I made mention of them -- sort of like how I never noticed I lived by a square dancing centre for nearly two years 'til someone pointed it out.
They're everywhere. Her dauther calls the smaller ones "starter-bears" as they are usually right by the door and perhaps about 8 inches (20cm) tall. This is a mid-sized bear. These are often found either by the door or in an outer corner of the lawn. The far more elusive Big Bear is always found as a sculpture arrangement in a lawn-pedistal setup or as the focal point of a garden.
As a geek of sorts, I did a rough tally of the occurances of "bearness" and "bear-osity." On side streets I found an average of 45% bearitude (all bear types included, double bears counting twice). An extreme of 70% bear infiltration was found on Floral Dr. between McKnight Ave. and Myrle St. Busier roads tended to have slightly fewer bears, with an average of 40% bearness.
It remains unknown how many of those bears were errected in earnest, how many were gifts from relatives with poor taste, or even how many of them were meant in the spirit of absurd humour. I saw none of the home bears decorated (as I would immediately do upon receipt of such "art") in any way.
The exception being the giant midwestern-sized (35ft/10m tall) one sitting atop Polar Chevrolet (Co. Rd. F & Hwy 61). He normally has polka-dotted shorts painted on him in the summer or a scarf in a cold winter, but is now painted with a very disturbing and potentially all-seing eye.
While I suggested they might be lodge sign or something (norwegian free-masons?), Matt noticed they were not polar bears at all, but black and grizzly bears painted white.
