Univers Revolved
Letters are an inherently two-dimensional affair. They can convey deep meaning, but are confined to the flat surface of the page. Ji Lee, a designer now with Facebook, was playing around with some 3-D software and noticed that he could rotate litters around their central axis. All of a sudden, they became toy-like shapes.
He was able to use the letter as a physical object, to break away from the linear and build visual representations made from the actual letters of the word.
For starters, can you figure out the words in the lower left? If you feel like that’s too easy, Lee created the world in the bottom right for you to explore (Hint: Try to find “ROCKET”).

This. Is. So. AWESOME! Can this be a font?
Why yes, it can be! Check out the page on Univers Revolved where you can download the alphabet as a font for PC and Mac!
“If you want to say I slept in the same house with a dead body, OK, fine, I’ll buy that - but in the same room, no! And besides, the dead won’t bother you - it’s the living you’ve got to worry about!”

An innovative initiative is taking place in the Philippines to bring sustainable lighting to homes in impoverished communities. Empty plastic bottles are installed in the roof, filled with water and bleach they refract sunlight. These “solar light bulbs” provide light equivalent to a 55watt light bulb.
See how they’re made here. From Visual News
