That '70s Type!
Here’s a great collection of typography from the ’70s.
Here’s a great collection of typography from the ’70s.
Ugly? Yeah.
Cool? Oh OK. Yeah, Kinda.
Nostalgic & Groovy & Macho? Definitely.
But all fun and experimental in it's own way and all built up and coming straight at you.
I miss Letraset press type.
LONG LIVE LETRASET!
And POLAROIDS!

The Catcher in the Rye: Maroon paperback
If you really want to hear about it, my beat up copy of The Catcher in the Rye is one of my favorite books. And this plain, all Times Roman typeface, solid Maroon and Yellow type paperback is one of my favorite cover designs. A perfect marriage of content, form and memories. The cover demands that you fill in the rest yourself. Compared to the simplicity of this, all other designs are just plain phony.

JJ Abrams Video Interview on TED.com
As the Emmy-winning creator of the smart, addictive TV dramas Lost, Alias and Felicity, J.J. Abrams' name looms large on the small screen. As the writer/director behind the blockbuster explode-a-thon Mission: Impossible III, Cloverfield and the next Star Trek movie, these days Abrams also rules the big screen—bringing his eye for telling detail and emotional connection to larger-than-life stories.
Abrams' enthusiasm—for the construction of Kleenex boxes, for the quiet moments between shark attacks in Jaws, for today's filmmaking technologies, and above all for the potent mystery of an unopened package—is incredibly infectious.
"As a boy, JJ Abrams was fascinated with magic. As a television writer, director, and producer, he has beguiled audiences with a masterful use of suspense, plot reversals, and special effects."
