Knockout is a JavaScript implementation of the Model-View-View Model pattern, a way to define data in a model object and then bind DOM elements or templates to that data. It’s also more robust and testable, so whether you’re working on your own or in a team it’s a great way to make life easier for everyone. In rich UI development this can greatly simplify the process of loading and updating data. You might already use event handler bindings in jQuery or other JavaScript libraries to connect user actions with parts of a page, but with Knockout we can go one step further and use JavaScript to automatically populate the interface – so whenever the data or state changes so does the UI. Perhaps a better way to approach things is to have a clean separation of presentation and logic, and that’s where frameworks such as Knockout come in. But as soon as a reasonable amount of data or the need to keep track of UI state in your application is added to the mix then it can start to cause a bit of a problem.įor interfaces where the user can page through data, change the appearance or position of components on the page or make selections or filters that need to persist, trying to rely on DOM inspection to understand where things are is likely to end in frustration. Thank you for letting us do whatever we want, especially letting me fool around with these lovely-yet-slightly-silly fonts.If you’re working with a fairly simple, content-based website then your JavaScript needn’t get too complicated perhaps a lightbox effect for an image gallery and some form validation. Thank you, Daniel, for being there! And big ups to the band whom we call friends for a decade now. The labels are basically the same for all CSR releases and the color is adapted to suit the cover artwork.ĭesigning The Mess was, once again, a joint project of my dear friend Daniel Fuchs and myself (Manuel).
It should be noted that the vinyl labels are a part of the Crazysane Records corporate design, developed by Fabian Bremer. Once you draw the innersleeve out, the printed inside of the jacket is visible and shows that same bird, but proudly crowing. A peacock, the new mascot animal of the band, is shown before a Suminagashi background on the innersleeve in a resting position. The uncoated black front cover forms a haptic contrast to the coated innersleeve and the coated inside of the album jacket (which is also printed in 5 colours). The “special feature” of The Mess is a die-cut circle that acts as a picture frame for the artwork. Liner notes and other small information are set in Simplex (single-stroke) and Simplex Script – and there are probably more combinations which I forgot to mention, sorry! The two emblems are composed out of various Gothic glyphs. To fit long words on a single line, the O’s of Triplex Roman are swapped for their Italian Gothic counterparty, which are a touch narrower. The track list uses the triple stroke Triplex Roman with initials set in a mixture of Italian and English Gothic (depending on the look). The side indicators A and B are set in Complex Script. Ornaments and the large word mark on the back are set in a customized version of Italian Gothic. The album title is set in Simplex Script. Hershey modeled after Will Bradley’s Missal Initials (ATF, 1904). Yagow’s “logo” is rendered in (Hershey) Italian Gothic, a set of Lombardic caps that A.V. The album’s typography combines different fonts: Frank Grießhammer dug deep and told their story at TypeCon2015 in Denver. Like on the artwork for their previous release, the revived Hershey Fonts, a type family with roots just as obscure as the music, appear all over. The cardboard stock is coated - matte on the outside, and glossy on the inside. The album cover is printed in a combination of PMS neon orange on top of purple hues built up in CMYK. The album is released through Berlin-based independent label Crazysane Records. YAGOW set a timeless mood that transports you away from the meddles of everyday life and into higher spirits.įour years after their self-titled debut album, the psychedelic rock trio YAGOW return with The Mess. The Mess takes you on a drive across a desert wasteland in a big old rust bucket of a car - with sunglasses on and your head bobbing to the music of the bumps in the road. These are the most common typefaces in the database, but there are many more.
