Anne Ulku is an established designer based in Minneapolis, MN. She graduated from Minneapolis College of Art&Design in 2007. Her typefaces include Kazootie (2011, Chank Foundry), which was inspired by cut-paper shapes and named after the hand puppet character Rootie Kazootie in a 1950s children's television show. Together with Chank Diesel, she created an exclusive custom typeface design for the 2011 Target Halloween campaign---a complement to the cut-paper art designs of Andrea Deszö. She also made Vintage Noveau Italian (2012), the collage typeface Particulate (2012, free at Chank Diesel's place), Indian (2012, a retro motorcycle script font done with Chank Diesel), and the sewing machine font Stitch (2012). In 2015, she hooked up with Olson for a new typeface for Porsche. Anne writes: Porsche has always had a very clean and structured, well-known visual brand. Their custom headline font, Porsche Franklin Gothic, happens to be the exact same as Franklin Gothic. In order to create a refresh of the Porsche brand, while still maintaining the established look, there was opportunity for a new typeface. The core of the new typeface is based on the Porsche logo, as well as typeface Deutsches Institut für Normung 145---a precise, technical typeface; also the standard for German road signs. With a strong racing history, additional visual cues were also used in creating a truly unique, custom Porsche typeface. Dribble link. Behance link. [Google] [MyFonts] [More] ⦿ | |

Very beautiful web page, and fantastic fonts in all respects! Free typefaces: Zodiac (2000), Cards (Gyula Zsigri, 2001), Maldoror, Domino (Gabor Kóthay), Count, Csenge (a Hungarian rune font by Csaba Dávid), Qwerty (Gabor Kóthay, 2000), Y2K (Gabor Kóthay, 2000). Early commercial fonts: Woodini (caps), Sleeping Beauty (caps), Zimbalo (1999, Amondó Szegi), Pacalsone (1999, Amondó Szegi), Paradox (1999, Amondó Szegi), Construct (2001, Amondó Szegi), Binario (2000, Amondó Szegi), Bikewrench (2001, Amondó Szegi), Cabin (2001, Gábor Kóthay). At T-26, in 2001, Amondó Szegi published the commercial typefaces MuseFace (art nouveau), Glosso (2003), Xodus (2001, Regular, Italic, Forgotten), Kozma-Ornaments, all showing old Slavonic and/or Armenian influences in Latin letters. In 2000, he made Alian Ornaments (floral ornaments) for T-26. At T-26, Gábor Kóthay published Adagietto (2000), Minerva (2000), Archetype (2000). At PsyOps, Gábor Kóthay published the formal script Anglia (2001), Berill (2001), and Plexo (2001). Amondó Szegi's typefaces at T-26: Nexodus (2008, medieval style), Zenthes (2008), Alien Ornaments, Glosso, Iskola (2002, a Victorian typeface done with Silas Dilworth), Kozma (great ornaments), Melico, Melico Ornaments (2004, another great set), Xodus. At P22, Szegi designed the curly typeface Mantra (2005). Amondó Szegi's Telegdi family is since 2001 available from P22. At The Type Trust, he created the playful Gepetto (2006). Typefaces from 2013: Ma (avant-garde, constructivist, done as an hommage to Lajos Kassak), Overdose, Sorry (kitchen tile typeface), Atett (hommage to Lajos Kassak), Street Soul, Samizdat, Velorex (brush script), Zsir (fat octagonal face), Kedves (hipster font). Typefaces from 2014: Iseum, Pix Gotisch. Among their custom corporate identity jobs, the Losonczi Hair Salon work (2012) is quite outstanding. Dubstep (2012) is an experimental triangulated grid-based typeface. In 2013, Glosso Novum (2013, Fontana Type Foundry), a remastering of Glosso (2003), was published. Nexodus (2013) is a reworking of his 2001 typeface Xodus, with new ornaments and zodiac signs, and more weights. Xodus (2001, Regular, Italic, Forgotten) revives work by Miklós Kis Misztótfalusi (Nicholas Kis), who was one of the first designers of Armenian type: He prepared his first set of exotic types before September 1685 for the Armenian printing house in Amsterdam. It was the knowledgeable mayor of Amsterdam who requested that those types be founded. These types were used to print the mayor's (Nicolaes Witsen) work entitled Noord en Oost Tartarye. Misztótfalusi's name appears in the colophon of the book. Later, in 1687, he found Georgian types, which were, in many respects, similar to the Armenian set. Since there was no printing house in Georgia, he designed the types on the basis of some manuscripts. Unfortunately, as legend has it, the types never reached the Georgian court, which had commissioned Misztótfalusi to design them. They were either lost or stolen somewhere in Sweden. However, a sample sheet survived and was found in 1980 in Amsterdam. It may seem to make no sense to re-Latinise the types of Misztótfalus, who himself was a great master in founding Latin types, and for whom Armenian types meant the first step in a new direction.

| Australian graphic and type designer who lives in Sidney. Born in 1986, Dave graduated with a Bachelor in Visual Communication from Swinburne University, and went on to work for 6 years as graphic designer in Sydney before a government scholarship enabled him to attend the Type and Media Masters held at kABk in 2011-12. His early type sketches were quite promising. He graduated from the TypeMedia program at KABK Den Haag in 2012. In 2012, he won two awards at the Moriswawa Type Design Competition for Blanco, the Gold Prize in the Latin category, and the Second Prize in the People's Choice category for Latin. Blanco also won at TDC 2013. In 2014, Dave Foster and Paul Barnes (Commercial Type) designed Marr Sans. They write: The influence of Scotland in typefounding belies the nation's small size. Marr Sans, a characterful grotesque design, was inspired by a typeface from the 1870s found in the work of James Marr & Co. in Edinburgh, successors to Alexander Wilson & Sons. From a few lines in three sizes, and only one weight, Paul Barnes and Dave Foster have expanded the family from Thin to Bold, plus an Ultra Black weight, a wider companion to the six lighter weights. While Graphik and Atlas represent the greater homogenity of twentieth century sans serifs, Marr, like Druk, revels in the individuality of the nineteenth century, and is like an eccentric British uncle to Morris Fuller Benton's Franklin and News Gothics. Domaine Sans (2014, with Kris Sowersby) won an award in the TDC 2015 Type Design competition. In 2015, Dave Foster developed a hand-crafted typeface for National Australia Bank. Behance link.

Rock Beast
I finally have internet back! Very exciting, but my tablet has been in and out of working order. Hopefully formatting my computer has fixed it entirely. I've also been playing some video games with my brother who just returned from Iraq, so I suppose I won't be updating as often for awhile.
I did manage to finish up this concept. For this one I did a random process to come up with a shape I found appealing. Not the best way to draw, but it can be fun.

Drawing in Flash
I've been away for awhile due to the lack of internet at my house. I've been sketching a lot still, but my tablet keeps messing up so most of my sketches are on real paper lately. I did manage to play around with Flash for awhile last night and did a few rough animations. After I did that I thought I'd try the draw capabilities of Flash. It has some interesting results with lines, so I'm sure I'll play around with it later.

Latendresse back on the ice

The Wild are skating through their first practice after the All-Star break this afternoon at the Xcel Energy Center, and they've got a welcome addition today: Guillaume Latendresse is on the ice with the time.
Latendresse, who has missed 32 of the team's last 34 games with concussion symptoms and hasn't played since Dec. 14, is going through practice after skating early with Mikko Koivu. He isn't taking any contact today, but the fact that he's skating is a good sign for a team that's been struggling to score goals.
The Wild are still missing Koivu, of course, and have also been without Pierre-Marc Bouchard since Jan. 4 because of post-concussion syndrome.

The Wild hit the NHL All-Star break Tuesday night with a 3-2 win over Colorado, their second consecutive win.
Best of all, according to coach Mike Yeo, the Wild played the game the way they have to in order to win.
"When we play that way, a different guy gets a chance to be the hero every night," he said.
This time it was forward Carson McMillan who stole the puck and beat Jean-Sebastien Giguere for the winning goal. On Saturday, in a 5-2 win over the Dallas Stars, it was forward Chad Rau who scored his first NHL goal for the winner in his first NHL game.
McMillan, who has played a grand total of eight NHL games, now has two goals.
"I was shocked. I didn't know what I was doing 'til I was at the hash marks or even to the crease," he said. "I just tried to open his legs up and sneak it through. I couldn't be happier."
The Wild, who also got Justin Falk's first NHL goal against the Avalanche, outshot the Avs 34-26 and controlled play much of the way. Yeo said the feeling on the bench was one of confidence even when the score was 2-2, a similarity to the way things were with this team in early December when it moved into the league lead in points.
"It is a good feeling to get a couple of wins," goalie Nik Backstrom said, "but I think the biggest thing for us the last two games is that we have played more of our game. It feels good to be back where we should be."
Falk, who said he couldn't remember being sent on the ice for a power play since junior hockey, added a fighting penalty to his evening and came within an assist of the Gordie Howe hat trick. He said every player hopes for his first goal to be a pretty one, and his shot from the point in the first period was just that.
"I was just trying to keep it simple and get some shots through," he said. "Fortunately, I was able to."
Dany Heatley, who turned 31 on Saturday, scored Minnesota's other goal, giving him a team-high 15 and two in two games.
Now the Wild get some time off.
They'll return to practice Monday afternoon at the Xcel Energy Center, then play host to the Nashville Predators Tuesday night.
Backstrom will start

Hello from snowy Denver, where Niklas Backstrom is scheduled to start in goal for the Wild tonight against the Colorado Avalanche.
Backstrom is the only change in Minnesota's lineup from the team's 5-2 home win over Dallas on Saturday night, which means defensemen Marek Zidlicky and Mike Lundin and forward Brad Staubitz will sit out.
Four players brought up from the AHL Houston Aeros last week will play: Chad Rau, Matt Kassian, Jed Ortmeyer and Nate Prosser.
The Wild trail the Avs by one point going into this game, and players will scatter for a five-day break afterward, so everyone talked at today's morning skate about the importance of hitting the NHL All-Star break on a winning note.
It's almost impossible not to take a look at the standings during the break, coach Mike Yeo pointed out, and seeing Minnesota among the top eight teams in the Western Conference will make the break that much more enjoyable. The Wild are ninth going into the game and Colorado is eighth.
Rau relishes the experience

Howdy on the day after the Wild's big 5-2 win over the Dallas Stars at the Xcel Energy Center.
Today the team went to its fans for a free, outdoor practice at the John Rose Oval in Roseville, skating for less than an hour but chatting with onlookers and signing autographs for a very long time. Especially popular were Minnesota natives Matt Cullen and Chad Rau.
Rau, who scored the winning goal against the Stars in his first NHL game Saturday night, kept everybody on the team bus waiting while he signed over and over before leaving the outdoor rink. He was one happy person after scoring a goal in his NHL debut on Hockey Day Minnesota, with friends and family watching at his hometown rink.
He said he responded to numerous texts congratulating him before finally falling asleep at about 2:30 a.m. at his St. Paul hotel.
Getting called up from the AHL on Friday, playing at the X on Saturday and skating outdoors and greeting fans on Sunday left his head nearly spinning, he said. After getting up early Sunday, he was looking forward to some rest and down time.
"I'll sleep pretty well tonight," he said after practice.
The Wild go back on the road to play the Avalanche in Denver Tuesday night, and players talked about putting together good back-to-back games. Minnesota has scored just 11 goals in its past 11 road games, so being away from the X has not been kind to this team of late.

The Wild's 5-2 win over the Dallas Stars tonight at the Xcel Energy Center had the joint rocking and the players smiling.
Coach Mike Yeo talked about how it was a game "we've been asking for."
Yeo benched veterans Marek Zidlicky, Mike Lundin and Marek Zidlicky and went with a lineup that included youngsters Chad Rau (playing his first NHL game), Nate Prosser, Matt Kassian, Jed Ortmeyer, Carson McMillan, Justin Falk, Nick Johnson and Jared Spurgeon.
No one played badly.
The veterans were a part of this win, too: Dany Heatley had a goal and two assists and Devin Setoguchi had a goal and an assist. Matt Cullen set up Cal Clutterbuck with a pretty pass to tie the score at 2-2.
Rau had a goal while Ortmeyer, McMillan and Spurgeon supplied assists.
After struggling on offense for a month, perhaps this was the kind of game the Wild needed to regain some of the confidence that has been missing.
Matt Cullen, who received a silver stick for recently playing in his 1,000th NHL game, said it was a big win in a big game — the Stars could have jumped ahead of Minnesota in the Western Conference with a win — but said caution is necessary.
Now the next game Tuesday night against the Avs in Denver becomes equally important.
It will be interesting to see if the Wild use this game as a steppingstone to get back to the way they were playing five weeks ago.
Hockey Day at the X

Greetings from the Xcel Energy Center on Hockey Day Minnesota.
Four new players were on the ice for the Wild's morning skate today after coming up from the Houston Aeros: Matt Kassian, Jed Ortmeyer, Nate Prosser and Chad Rau. Rau is the only one of the four who has yet to make his NHL debut.
Coach Mike Yeo said all four will be in the lineup against the Dallas Stars at 8 p.m. tonight, while Josh Harding will be in goal.
"These guys should be coming in and they're going to have a positive mind-frame and they're going to be excited to play, which I think we need a lot of right now," Yeo said after the morning skate.
Sitting out will be defensemen Marek Zidlicky and Mike Lundin and forward Brad Staubitz.
The morning skate was fast-paced and guys looked sharp as they prepped for Dallas.
Among the onlookers at the morning skate was Ralph Strangis III, former North Stars broadcaster who moved to Dallas with the franchise and still calls the Stars games.
Wild-Maple Leafs through two: Six penalties and a growing deficit

One of the things that upset Mike Yeo about the way the Wild played in Philadelphia on Tuesday was the lack of discipline they had once they got behind; they gave Philadelphia five power play chances, allowing the eighth-best power play in the game to take command of the game. If Yeo was looking for improvement on that front, he won't find it tonight.
The Wild took six penalties in the second period alone, leading to another Maple Leafs goal when Phil Kessel, Joffrey Lupul and Tim Connolly had too much time to bang away at the puck in front of the Wild's net. And the Maple Leafs just made it 4-0 early in the third period while playing 4-on-4 after Kyle Brodziak's double minor and Carl Gunnarsson's interference call.
It seems like the more the Wild try to make a hard course correction, the worse their results get. They're frustrated again on the ice tonight, and it's showing up in bad penalties (only two of the calls were for obstruction). This is going to be Minnesota's 11th straight loss away from the Xcel Energy Center, and in that time, the Wild have scored 10 goals. In the final 15 minutes of this game, it seems like they're playing to dress up the score.
Wild-Maple Leafs through one: Ugly start

We've played 20 minutes at Air Canada Centre in Toronto. Which is to say, the Wild have already been trailing for more than 19 minutes and in a two-goal hole for almost 15.
They're trailing the Maple Leafs – another struggling team trying to get itself back into playoff contention – by a pair of goals after a pair of early breakdowns. Joffrey Lupul – recently separated from Phil Kessel – found Nazem Kadri for Toronto's first goal, with Mike Lundin and Warren Peters getting beat on the play. And about four minutes later, Dany Heatley got drilled into the boards by Mike Brown at the Maple Leafs' blue line, turning over the puck and setting up a Toronto breakout that eventually lead to Joey Crabb wheeling around Jared Spurgeon and beating Niklas Backstrom.
The Wild generated a few turnovers, getting four takeaways by deflecting a few passes. But they've been so unable to connect on more than one pass of their own that their nine shots have barely threatened Jonas Gustavsson. With Kessel only playing 4:54 in the first period, the Maple Leafs already have a two-goal lead. It'll be interesting to see what the second period brings.
Backstrom back in, Falk out

Good afternoon from the Air Canada Centre, where the Wild take on the Toronto Maple Leafs tonight at 6:00 Central time. Hockey in Canada is always a little bit of a different beast than it is in the U.S., and that's probably not true anywhere more than it is in Toronto. There were probably 30 reporters in the Wild's dressing room this morning.
A couple moves for tonight's game: Niklas Backstrom is back in net, having recovered from the illness that kept him out for four games. And Justin Falk is out of the lineup tonight, with Greg Zanon starting for the Wild. Falk had a great game on Saturday against St. Louis, though he wasn't as strong on Tuesday in Philadelphia. The Wild may still be trying to showcase Zanon for a trade, too, and he would have been the only player to be scratched in both games of the team's father-son trip had he not played tonight.
And the thought of the day, from coach Mike Yeo, on the team being a point out of the playoffs after Colorado's win last night, and falling from first to ninth in the conference in five weeks: "It's not how you drive, it's how you arrive."
There you go.
Back with more from the rink this afternoon.
On Dany Heatley, new lines and trade possibilities

Good evening from Toronto, where the Wild practiced at the Mastercard Centre today in preparation for their game with the Maple Leafs tomorrow night. They tried out a handful of new line combinations – moving Warren Peters up to the first line with Dany Heatley and Devin Setoguchi – in hopes of somehow jolting their offense.
"We're ready to experiment," coach Mike Yeo said. "The status quo is not what we're looking for right now."
The Wild like the Clutterbuck-Cullen-Wellman combination, so that line has the best chance of staying fixed.
Here were the line combinations the team used today in practice:
Cal Clutterbuck-Matt Cullen-Casey Wellman
Darroll Powe-Kyle Brodziak-Nick Johnson
Carson McMillan-David McIntyre-Brad Staubitz
They went through another intense practice today, with Devin Setoguchi following Cal Clutterbuck's lead from Friday in St. Louis and smashing his stick, and they're facing another struggling team in Toronto tomorrow night.
I wrote a story for tomorrow's paper (and the web site later tonight) on Dany Heatley's struggle to score in the midst of the Wild's ever-changing first line. You can read more later, but here are a couple interesting numbers for now:
–Heatley has 10 games with five shots or more; all of those have come with Koivu on the ice. In the six games Koivu has missed in the last month, Heatley has just 14 shots.
–After Koivu returned from a lower body injury last month, Heatley had seven points in eight games. Koivu has assisted on eight of Heatley's 13 goals this year.
Heatley's had a playmaking center next to him for most of his career, and he's having to adjust without one for the time being. The Wild are hoping Peters can bring back some of Koivu's two-way play, create some turnovers and get Heatley and Setoguchi in positions to score again.
Chuck Fletcher also talked to reporters today, and his update on the Wild's trade progress was a familiar one; while he's still trying to acquire help on offense, he's having a hard time finding a forward at a reasonable price since so many teams are still in the playoff hunt.
"I think most teams lack depth in terms of skill players, but we certainly do," Fletcher said. "Hopefully in a year or two, we'll have a few more young kids on our farm team that we can call up and can reasonably play a top-six or a top-nine role. We just don't have that right now."
That's part of the reason Fletcher is being cautious about a trade – he doesn't want to be forced into something he could regret – but he's also committed to trying to add a piece to win this year.
"I think we wanted to try and add an offensive player when we were healthy," Fletcher said. "With the guys we have out, it creates a little more urgency. If we could do that, that'd be great. I think long-term, we have some forwards coming with potential. But this is an important year, too."

Composition at UM
The Composition Program seeks to advance the University´s mission to pursue academic excellence in the context of writing instruction. Undergraduate composition courses, as part of general education at the University of Montana, help students become more effective writers and researchers by teaching students flexible strategies for researching and composing texts. These courses privilege a workshop environment where students learn about composition and rhetorical theory by practicing reading, researching, and writing as acts of inquiry. Students often work in small groups to write, read, and problem-solve together. Students create portfolios of their writing throughout the semester because this kind of assessment supports student agency and change–that is, rhetorical agility developed over time in different genres.
In addition to College Writing I (WRIT 101) and College Writing II (WRIT 201), the Composition Program offers composition classes in the computer classroom; occasional special topics courses in Rhetoric and Composition Studies; and Teaching College Composition (WRIT 540), a requirement for first-year composition instructors. This course provides new UM Composition Program teaching assistants with an introduction to theories and practices that surround composition pedagogy. Through this course, teaching assistants learn to teach first–year composition with greater knowledge, authority, and agency. These teaching assistants, along with a few lecturers, comprise the teaching staff for the program, a group of dedicated teachers who recognize the vital role they play in students' writing development.
