You could go and visit Cité du train in Mulhouse, France in order to honor the orange. They display it in a shrine there. It's a very solemn experience that fits the occasion well.
Unfortunately my camera is off color-wise.

Currently there's a bug in Illustrator that multiplies layers when saving "PDF compatible". You'll see that when checking object layers in InDesign. It's related to the saving algorithm - turn off "Save in Background". demo: youtu.be/KRxbiaEjIz8 #illustrator #indesign #design #layout #vector #bug

Dynamic text effect with a vector based halftone effect. It's only dynamic when you are using Astute Graphics plugins. But if you don't need the text to be dynamic, then you can still build it vector based. Both methods are in my new #Illustrator #tutorial: youtu.be/y_KKPiNhO4o

Tried out the animation style of the MAX 2025 logo using just a blend between 2 single anchor points in Illustrator. Everything that is happening here are appearances. GIF export handled by GIFStudio, extrusion handled by AG Blockshadow #illustrator #animation #design #vector

Workshop day at ATypI in CPH. Rodrigo Saiani gave an introduction into his design process and then we created variable letters. The first steps are easier than I thought (whole process will be more difficult). Check out Rodrigo on Behance, phantastic www.behance.net/rodrigosaiani #atypi #fontdesign

During 2024 I updated my MGZebra font and added a couple of glyphs. The font is in next year's #Typodarium. You can already check out all its glyphs and get the new version for free here: www.behance.net/gallery/1443... #font #design #vector #typography
