A Typography Series Experiment Featuring Chinese Characters

Media_httpwwwdesignyo_dtwhv

This typography series took a long time to make, a year if you can believe that, and was made for a lifestyle web magazine which tried to explain how the traditional culture tells us about weather change and what happened during that change.

It is a typography project in which the designer put a lot of effort and managed to create something really beautiful. We are so concentrated on typography featuring European characters that we forget there’s the possibility of having great typography from other cultures too.

The Growth Of China's Smartphone Market

Media_httpstatic2busi_pfydl

China will be 2x the US smart phone market in a year! Only two years ago, China was a laggard with a tiny portion of the US. What happened?

Originally, China's market developed more slowly because of two reasons. First, usable 3G networks took much longer to develop than other countries. Second, there are few subsidies in China, so users had to pay one or two month's salary for an iPhone or Android. These inhibited the growth.

But both issues have changed. Broadband wireless is now over 58%, and smart phone prices have dropped to about $100 for an acceptable Android phone, and about $200 for a full-featured Android phone. Smart phones are now spreading like wildfire.
