The System 323: Ask a Designer (Airline Food)

Today starts 2 weeks of strips that I’m posting in advance. I asked what questions people had on Twitter and this week are the responses.

Even though Marty Fn’ Day has chosen a rather smart-assed question, I’ve chosen to give it a real answer. If you want more of Marty being a smart-ass, check out his nerd news blog Blast-o-Rama or our work together with Super Art Fight. In fact, we have a show coming up in Baltimore on January 23rd!

The System 322: Ask a Designer (Comic Sans)

Today starts 2 weeks of strips that I’m posting in advance. I asked what questions people had on Twitter and this week are the responses.

When Vincent Connare designed Comic Sans for Microsoft in 1994, he had good intentions. He wanted a comic book styled font that could be available to the masses. What he didn’t want is for that font to be used freakin’ everywhere. There’s a right and a wrong time to use every font. Learn it. Use it. And don’t use Papyrus.

Thanks to Systemic David “Infendo” Cole for sending in this one! I used to do work with Infendo’s podcast, and it is still a great source for all news Nintendo.

The System 236

Consider this the first of TWO comics to go up today, to make up for the NO comics on Friday!  This is the first in the “ask a designer” series.  Hopefully, you guys will actually ask more questions, and I’ll be glad to answer them.
