"About
I'm Jonathon Yule, a freelance designer currently studying in the York/Sheridan Bachelor of Design program in Toronto, Ontario.
I'm particularly interested in typography, grids and the intertwinement of design and play."

Is any Brazilian here to share comments with me?






The Star Wars exhibition that I am talking about isn't that nice here in Brazil.
Most of the objects are not in the proper light and proper scenery. Looks too much dark to cover something. Why? Actually I paid for the opportunity to check details, not for a dark sensation of fake a film set. And also looks like the Star Wars pieces which we have here in Sao Paulo are not the very very special ones.

Maybe I am wrong, that's why I would like to comment with Brazilians.

The Long Now Foundation was established in 01996 to develop the Clock and Library projects, as well as to become the seed of a very long term cultural institution. The Long Now Foundation hopes to provide counterpoint to today's "faster/cheaper" mind set and promote "slower/better" thinking. We hope to creatively foster responsibility in the framework of the next 10,000 years.

You have to read about The Millennium Clock
An essay by Danny Hillis from 01995

Actually we have to learn about the Foundation and if possible to participate as a member.

My interest about design and science is the reason to post another article about patterns. Please take a peep. Thank you!

This exhibition rediscovers the intriguing work of the Festival Pattern Group. This creative conglomerate of X-ray crystallographers, designers and manufacturers was inspired by the patterns discovered in crystal structures to create an eclectic array of textiles, wallpapers, carpets and more for the 1951 Festival of Britain.

X-ray crystallography was one of the most exciting branches of post-war science, with far-reaching applications in chemistry, physics, biology and mineralogy. By studying X-ray diffraction photographs of crystals, scientists could calculate arrangement of atoms within molecules. The resulting diagrams were the inspiration for the Festival Pattern Group's work.

Stored away for over 50 years in the vaults of the Victoria and Albert Museum, this is the first time that the group's creations have been reunited en masse. This unique collaboration between Britain's leading post-war scientists and manufacturers offers a glimpse into the optimism of an exciting moment in the history of design and science. The avant-garde designs elucidate the intricate data produced in X-ray crystallography while also standing as vibrant graphic testaments to the era.

This exhibition is free.
