This is by far the coolest typographic sequence I’ve ever seen in motion, from German motion artist Sebastian Lange. I’m inspired/shamed/excited/awed/humbled all at once. It also proves that Helvetica still kicks ass.
Enjoy more of his work here.
South Asian Book Covers
These are definitely worth a look. From ephemera assemblymen:
This is a dual post with Will, from the great A Journey Around My Skull. All of these magnificent covers come courtesy of Quinn Dombrowski’s impressive South Asian books project, in which she photographs book covers from the “PK” section (Indo-Iranian languages and literatures) of the University of Chicago’s Regenstein library. See more covers at her blog, Women, Snakes and Stalkers, and at her flickr. And be sure to view Will’s picks here.
Thank you to @weetstraw, @Coudal, @posteroffensive who first linked me to Women, Snakes and Stalkers.

HDR Crash Course
By now, if you haven’t yet heard of HDR, or High Dynamic Resolution, you probably have at least run across images that seem like they couldn’t have been taken with a normal camera. It’s a process that has opened up huge artistic possibilities in the realm of digital photography and really has me excited.
Jason has started posting screenshots of his personal cover inspirations folder. He’ll be updating periodically.
