Spams can be useful too, like Spamghetto.

Everyday we all get some great offers for lotteries,  financial services, amazing gifts and little more which you cant even think of.  All in a bunch of SPAM mails ! And we have no option other than washing them away to trash.

But, at TODO.to.it – an interaction and media design studio, they have used up-to 2000 different junk mail subjects to create a beautiful wallpaper. They call it SPAMGHETTO.

According to them, a quick glance at spam mails gives fresh inspirations, bizarre subjects. And may be someday a brilliant scientist will find the definitive solution to eradicate from the web the bittersweet pleasure of spam.

The wallpaper is created using a generative software, so it can be folded and molded accordingly to desired dimensions of space.

Simling Typefaces

We all are pretty conversant with the typical smile emoticons we use on web, but from years and years we are watching them only in the restricted web fonts like Verdana, Georgia and so on.

So i just did a small experiment to find out how other type “faces” smile, and some of them are really interesting !!

And ya…notice Arial, is he trying to pretend like Mr. Helvetica !

Update : The experiment is now available as a print-ready A3 poster. Click here to download.
