Identify that font: ‘What the font’ for the IPhone

I Needed to share this little story I spotted over at swiss-miss.com

MyFonts have introduced WhatTheFont for iPhone

WhatTheFont can identify a fonts name from an upload image.

The iPhone version of WhatTheFont uses the IPhone’s built-in camera to photograph the text, then the application allows you to crop the image and focus on only the important parts before uploading.

You then confirm the characters that are used in the image and the app gives you a list of matching fonts, great for grabbing fonts on the move when you spot one of interest.

I’ve tried it out and it seems pretty good, but of course it all depends on the quality of the image you manage to take with you phone, but for FREE you can’t go wrong really!

Perfect valentine card design for the manically depressed?

Thought it would make an excellent valentine card for/from the manic depressed maybe?

Like many designers and design companies I quite often receive CV’s and samples of work from design students. As much as I’d love to employ these designers I’m currently not in the position to do so, so rather than keeping hold of their work until the chance arises I thought I’d give some of it abit of a airing on here in a series of design student spotlights.

This will hopefully help raise their profiles or maybe another design company (more…)
