Experiments in Web Functionality

Colored Horse Studios Graphic Design

In our web design work we are often asked to research and develop custom web functionality for various projects. Following are some highlights of our explorations

 

The Embedded Font

Feature: The Embedded Font
Graphic Designers have always wanted the flexibility to use fonts on the web that are outside of the small array of web-accessible options (Times Roman, Helvetica, Arial, Georgia, Palatino…). While truly embedded fonts are a thing of the future (and are being solved somewhat by the PDF document format and Flash) Microsoft’s Weft technology has begun to explore embedding a custom font in a web page. The W3C, which approves all changes to html, has not yet approved Weft for inclusion into general use, therefore the only browser to support Weft is Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. Here’s our experiment so you can see for yourself: The Embedded Font

The Light and the Dark
Art Exhibit – Paulo Ferreira
Tierra: Art, Garden, Wine
November 2009

Local artist Paulo Ferreira steers us from the bright light of late summer into the crepuscular darkness of winter in his new show “The Light and The Dark.” Comprised mostly of canvases with oil and wax, the light paintings have the emotional warmth of fleeting summer memories–more sensory undertones than falling leaves buried in the depths of textured wax and paint. The dark paintings evoke sheltered mystery: “What is that luminous arc? An interplanetary eclipse? First light advancing over Cow Mountain?” If you find yourself needing to “rage against the dying of the light” come in and warm your soul with this artistic journey. Tierra – Art, Garden, Wine is located at 312 N School St. in downtown Ukiah. Please call (707) 468-7936 for details.
