@copaalemdacopa As frases foram desnecessárias, mas pintar foi uma boa ideia. Futebol não é guerra civil, torcidas não são inimigas. Chega desse tratamento tóxico e hostil à torcida visitante, mesmo pro maior rival. Se teu time perder, não é por 10% da torcida presente, é pq não mereceu ganhar.

The future of business presentations: the presenter uses AI to create a full presentation (as example below). He sends the presentation to another person (who hates presentations). The receiver then uses AI to extract the main points of the presentation,…https://t.co/65PwlAlBXc

@instagram is now pushing a 'Suggested Post' after every two posts on my timeline, with unsolicited trash content. I get the Sponsored Posts, but apart from that, please let me curate my own timeline. If I wanted silly videos I'd have created an account in Tik Tok long ago.

This is a call to type foundries. We want to build a smarter tool for graphic designers to find the perfect typefaces for each project, instead of using the same ones over and over.
We want to give more visibility to your work!

@davelab6 This is fun. I've run one asking to tell me something dirty about me. The answer was 'Crystian Cruz is known for his edgy, provocative designs. He often incorporates sexual imagery into his work, which has led to him being dubbed the "bad boy" of Brazilian graphic design.' 😁

@ktcita Unbelievable, right? Maybe Radiohead might be associated with the trauma of writing the dissertation at Reading. Watching them at the Reading Festival was my only break at the end of the process😆

[Crystian Cruz @crystiancruz]

Whenever I am stuck with academic writing, I can always count on Radiohead's show 'In Rainbows From the Basement' to keep me focused and move ahead. Instead of counting written pages, I count how many times I've listened to that performance. #phdlife

Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes.
How do you measure your year? Mine next cycle seems to be how many times I'll listen to Seasons of Love https://t.co/5SUwtFPueL

If I may grab your attention on this social media platform (sweet irony), listen to Joseph Gordon-Levitt, not me: "If your creativity is driven by a desire to get attention, you're never going to be creatively fulfilled." https://t.co/lt6A5QRpfX

@HectorNerio6 I wish I could help @Lin_Manuel, but I don't have a name, nor titles or lands. He can take it.

https://t.co/CiMEqNAkLd redesigned their website a few months ago, with responsive layout. In a specific mid-range window size all images get a weird ultra-wide crop. Hellooooo design team. This doesn't work at all!

I finally was in the room where it happened @HamiltonMusical in Australia, one of my all time favourite musicals. I confess I was expecting disappointment for seeing the movie 18374 times on Disney+, so the bar was high. But the Aussie cast was outstanding. It was unforgettable!

@GraphicGirl My PhD research in Design (@censurativa) has a self-censoring typeface as the creative component. I've submitted it about a month ago, still waiting for the examiners. You can use the webfont on Chrome via this browser extension I've created: https://t.co/QHyL3fpmit

@HamiltonMusical @MiggstaC09 "Dear Aaron Burr. If you are reading this, it means I'm dead. Just wanna tell you that you will never gonna be president now. See you on the other side."

[Crystian Cruz @crystiancruz]

@byarichand @shannonmattern @censurativa The creative practice of my PhD in Design (submitted three weeks ago) is a self-censoring font that redacts content across the web. To experience yourself, all you need is to install the Chrome extension I've created: https://t.co/QHyL3fpmit

New wraparound visual signature for @CocaCola's newest ad campaign. The first letter C seems a bit flimsy, but I loved the concept and usage on the posters. https://t.co/NSmKcCbe6M

@ThomasPhinney you surely have that case of the Prime Minister of Pakistan from 2017, right? It isn't that much backdating (2006), but it is another case involving Calibri

[Crystian Cruz @crystiancruz]

What some type designers don't get about #VariableFont is that choosing among weights of a proper family was never the problem, but finding the appropriate choice for each instance of a design project. So although a slider looks cool, in most cases only enlarges the problem.
