Aaron Horkey is a phenomenal illustrator and poster artist who grew up in rural Minnesota. His hand-drawn, obsessively detailed typography never ceases to amaze me. When we interviewed Aaron for issue one, he offered helpful advice about avoiding mistakes.
Don’t try a half cab flip right out the gate just because your high school crush happens to be watching - you will roll your ankle and end up in a shameful heap.

Rejecting the familiar with Intel’s Digital Home Initiatives team
Since I moved to Arizona four years ago, I’ve been working tirelessly for the man, specifically designing web sites and other digital miscellanea. Tired of the same old song and dance, I set out to spend my summer working for as small a firm as possible, exclusively in print.

Since the original post regarding incspring.com and it’s practices, we got a lot of responses and comments, good and bad, incspring got a new logo (I guess they wanted to brand themselves better, the first time wasn’t right for them. hmm…) and Speakup did an indepth review of similar logo websites.

Even so, we’re still on track for a fall release. Pictures of the progress after the jump, including shots of our new editor.

Nerds prepare: Lion’s Gate to release a Zork movie
UPDATE: Hey, did you know gullible isn’t in the dictionary? My bad.

From what I can gather, Zork was one of the first interactive fiction computer games. Players navigate through the Zork world by entering text commands. The movie, expected to be released in 2009, is set in a first-person perspective. It will be filmed in full text video. …Read more →
