NYC Type

NYC Type is an archive of diverse typography built on community-contributed content, built by Matthew Anderson and Daniel Hunninghake. From the site bio:

Founded in 2007, NYC Type is a website built around community-sourced content. It is our belief that stories only get richer with the addition of new voices and perspectives. So, what you see now is the first iteration in an ongoing effort to build a platform for open, multi-dimensional online storytelling — it is our attempt to re-envision what storytelling in the 21st century can be: something accessible, educational, and fun.


Magda Sayeg on yarnbombing project management

Design Milk interviews Magda Sayeg on her creative process:

When I am first approached to do a project, I always dream big. As the project develops it is usually downsized to something more palatable, manageable, or affordable. I am constantly thinking about what is next. In an ideal world, I get to do exactly what I want, but this is rare. Actually, I believe it is part of the creative process to be able to understand obstacles and compromises and still make something I am proud of in the end. I also like working with a project manager. That way I can focus on the creative process and keep my head free of all the usual details. I am very visual. I explain myself better through images… even my own work/profession is hard to explain with out some visuals.
