"ABC Paper Cup puts an end to the boring design of disposable paper cups, which are easily confused with one another and thus users often have to take a new one. The ABC Paper Cup makes it easy to remember your cup, because it has a unique design in 14 variations, including the alphabet from A to Z. Apart from the cups with their colourful signs and letters in simple, cheerful designs there are also fun suggestions on how the ABC Paper Cups can also be used."

Prose and Motion is a physics-based word game. Yes, you did read that right. Given a bunch of letters, the task is to rearrange them in order to make a word - you do this by grabbing them and putting them in place.
Of course, this being a physics game, it's never that simple. The first few levels ask you to stick the letters next to each other to progress, but very soon you're being asked to build bridges and sit your word across them, or shuffle pieces around to make space available. There is also a 'perfect word' for each level - i.e. a word which can be made using the available letters, and has some relevance to the prose on display.
Grabbing and placing the letters can be a little fiddly, but let's face it - we've been dealing with awkward physics controls for years now, so let's not take it out on Mr. Beige. It's interesting stuff anyway, and well worth a go.

Final logotype
Previous to the current masthead I was using a really bad logotype that I made in college from parts of an unfinished font. It was fat, clumsy, and just not very sophisticated. At the time I was working on a clean and simple redesign for the Okay Type website and marketing materials. I decided to contrast the minimalism with a fancy new script logo.
The process was pretty straight forward. I began with loosely drawn pencil sketches on vellum, focusing primarily on structure – exploring basic shapes, how things connect and flourishes. (Sketches A-C)
