Check what Facebook, Twitter, Wikipedia and Yelp will look like when redesigned as magazines. Wikipedia sort of looks like National Geographic. Facebook looks like a women’s magazine. I like what the artist did on Twitter and Yelp.

Here’s a short info about Kerning if you’re not familiar with it.
In typography, kerning, which is also known as mortising, is the process of adjusting the spacing between characters in a proportional font. This is usually done to achieve a visually pleasing result. Meaning the font placement on a particular design project should be readable and easy on the eyes. Kerning should always be considered when writing typography to maintain visual impact and readability function.
How to Play:
Your mission is simple: achieve pleasant and readable text by distributing the space between letters. Typographers call this activity kerning. Your solution will be compared to typographer’s solution, and you will be given a score depending on how close you nailed it.
You can view the typographer and your solution individually. This will enable you to spot the difference between your kern and the solution. You could also use shortcut keys to move the letters more accurately.
The game takes only a few minutes to finish. The objective of the game is to teach the users about kerning and help us understand the value of kerning.

Many artists have used pencils to create beautiful pieces of work – but only one creates stunning masterpieces on the tip of one. Microscopic artist Dalton Ghetti ‘s idea is to bring people’s attention to small things while crafting each handmade piece on the graphite of a pencil. Small is beautiful. Most of the pencils he uses are found on the streets and sidewalks. Dalton’s work is a recycling process. He turns discarded objects into art.
To create his sculpture, he holds the pencil in his hand under a strong light source (table lamp or sunlight) and carves it mostly with a sewing needle and a very sharp, triangular, small, metal blade. He works at very small intervals: 1 to 2 hours maximum per day whenever he gets inspired. He works very slowly by removing specks of graphite at a time. It therefore takes months or sometimes years to complete a sculpture.
