Snowpocalypse

Nature

Here’s a few from shoveling after the big snowstorm. I wanted to go into the city to take some street walk / pedestrian / abandoned CTA photos but it was kind of a mess and I had to help my dad out when I was in the city.

The King’s Speech

Art, Design, & Architecture

Felt like playing with the dialogue from a great scene in “The King’s Speech.” The looming-WWII motif in the movie, with classically designed brittish govt posters, namely the “Keep Calm and Carry On” poster, served as inspiration. The type on the original was handwritten in 1931, and the closest thing I could find was Avenir Std Lt — and even that isn’t very close.

If you haven’t seen the “King’s Speech,” I’d recommend it. Good stuff.
