The Basics of Typography
Typography is a central component of design. It gives us an understanding of the heritage behind our craft. It’s one of the primary ways we, as a society, pass on information to others. Imagine a website, a magazine or even TV without text. Typography is a subject that raises passions and it can become a consuming obsession. If this subject is relatively new to you, or perhaps something you want to know more about, then this guide can start you on that journey.

Alphabetical
Alphabetical wines is created by winemakers who surf and surfers who make wines. "It's a wine made with so many variable, it's almost like the whole Alphabet!" We love the used of one color application to counter balance the richness of the illustrated frame.
"Alphabetical came from a decision to break the rules, We didn't want to make a single-varietal wine or a classic blend and we weren't fussed with areas of origin. Heck, we don't even have our own estate, let alone a hundred years of heritage. But we did want to make something we wanted a drink that was different. A wine that is voluptuous yet drinkable, impressive yet affordable. A serious wine, but one you can pour for aficionados as much as novices. A wine that is truly distinctive in package and memorable in taste. Which is exactly what we believe Alphabetical to be. "

Candy Land by IxD
The 2011 Btech IxD students completed their Arduino training with a collective project which was on display for a short moment on the Graphic Design Floor.
Chain reaction was the concept which showcases how interaction design is not all about going to the carnival, but it is about social relationships, our efforts to think and do things together - in another words "building an experience". Each team had to build a 3D element around the theme "Candyland" by combining a digital element which was "ARDUINO" in order to keep the ball in motion to the very end. All pieces together created a gravity fed sequence of reactions, which included lights, lifts, rails and finally, those candy balls.
I also encourage all students in this project to please comment below.
