Magesta Script is Ryan Martinson’s four-weight take on early 20th century script that captures and exaggerates the authentic qualities of letterpress printing. While not for everyday use it certainly works fine within grunge designs.

Berlin Photographer Thomas Birke is creating incredible long time exposures of our world’s metropolises. Shooting analog large format 8×2 with a Sinar P2, his pictures stand out due to their enormous density and richness of detail.
I am most interested in density. My aspiration is to show at least a 1000 people or their traces on every picture. Be it the illuminated windows of their apartments, the light streaks of their vehicles or their clothes hung out of windows for drying. Even if you do not see people directly, you can see their footprint on the urban environment. An organism that is alive and breathing. One shall print the pictures in a 2×3 metre scale and be able to find another story on every square centimetre. The images should provoke interest on first sight, through colour, shape and proportions. But even if you examine them more intensively, you should never be bored.
You can view and download these and a lot more photographs in high resolution on Flickr. Mind you, if Thomas publishes his pictures with 10 megapixels on Flickr, this is under 2% of the original resolution of up to 600 megapixels which allows for 2 meter printouts at 300 dpi!
Be sure to check out Thomas’ blog where he writes about his progress as a photographer, his production process and his inspiration. Also, Thomas’ pictures along with some thoughts about his work are featured in the fourth issue of the The Velvet Cell Magazine.
The photos in this post are from Seoul (1-3), Hong Kong (4-13), New York (14-15), Berlin (16), Paris (17-19) and Tokyo (20-24).
London-based cameraman, editor and motion graphics designer Stefan Werc produced this atmospheric time-lapse photography of Tokyo by night.
The pictures are shot with a Canon 7D and edited in Adobe After Effects. Broadcast 2000 provides the sound track with the song “Get Up And Go”.

A very nice typographic identity for Pas Pas artisan food restaurant by Lucía Castro Triay from Barcelona.
Watch this stunning work of Dentsu London and BERG. Asking themselves “…what might a magical version of the future of media look like?”, they used the iPad to create typographic holograms captured with long exposure photography as the iPad was moved through the air. They explain:
First we create software models of three-dimensional typography, objects and animations. We render cross sections of these models, like a virtual CAT scan, making a series of outlines of slices of each form. We play these back on the surface of the iPad as movies, and drag the iPad through the air to extrude shapes captured in long exposure photographs. Each 3D form is itself a single frame of a 3D animation, so each long exposure still is only a single image in a composite stop frame animation.
