Classic.






One way to think.
Sometimes think by myself.
There is a mess in my mind.
But I never realize the way I am going.
In a coffee shop...

One night with my friends.



One night...
Two friends..
Three dishes...
We got fun.
Sometimes, going out is very good.
Sometimes, new idea is come by nature.

A hometown trip.

Usually, I spend my holidays in my hometown, so do last one. My hometown is a small town, it is not very beautiful, luxurious even it is simple, poor. But I like it very much, it stores a lot of my memories with my family, my friends, my schools and my girlfriend.
I am not far from my hometown, it tool me 6 hours to come back but I miss it a lot. Every chance when I came back, everything were looked new and curiously.
Last holidays, I also spent at my hometown, I took a lot of images in there from people and scenes.

In a "street coffee shop" with my uncle and others.
A flooded farm
A corner of "street market"
A corner of garden in my house

Chalet typyface

This is the font that I chose for my typographic flash.
I was impressed at the first sight. Accidentally, I found it when I tried to find resources for my last assignment.
Here is some example of this font:






René Albert Chalet was born on April 20, 1923 in Interlaken, Switzeland. His parents affected René in both attitude and interest.
He began his career as a costumes designer in Paris. He achieved some sucesses when he made an effect on the prêt-à-porter clothing market in 1960s and 70s.
He came up with his first font to Deberny & Peignot of Paris in 1944. That font followed by Bahaus style, however it was more modern and valuable when it contained the charming and grotesques of nineteenth century.
However, his font was refused by Deberny & Peignot when they thought this font was associated with "cultural Bolshevists".
Short time later, Max Miedinger created a new typeface which was nearly the same as Chalet's font. Although it was controversial, Miedinger 's font was published by Haas Foundry in Basel, Switzerland, and it was called Neue Haas Grotesk. Not so long later, The Stempel Foundry of Germany paid for Meidinger's font and republished it as the most well-known font all over the world, Helvetica.
The history can not be changed. A remarkable designer was refused his achievement but his contribution was not be able to be forgotten. however, the truth was never hidden and in 2000, House Industries released Chalet type family as recognition talent of forgotten designer - René Albert Chalet.
