'Metro' Design Language of Windows Phone 7 & Beyond
'Metro'. An interactive design language to be reckoned with.
What is it?
"Metro is the name of the new design language created for the Windows Phone 7 interface. When given the chance for a fresh start, the Windows Phone design team drew from many sources of inspiration to determine the guiding principles for the next generation phone interface. Sources included Swiss influenced print and packaging with its emphasis on simplicity, way-finding graphics found in transportation hubs and other Microsoft software such as Zune, Office Labs and games with a strong focus on motion and content over chrome." Source: http://www.microsoft.com/design/toolbox/tutorials/windows-phone-7/metro/
Metro's Design Principles are:
/ Light, Clean, Open, Fast
/ Content, not Chrome
/ Typography
/ Motion
/ Authentically Digital

Swissted | Swiss Modernist Punk, Hardcore & Indie Flyers
Swissted is an ongoing project by graphic designer Mike Joyce, owner of stereotype design in new york city. Drawing from his love of punk rock and swiss modernism, two movements that have absolutely nothing to do with one another, mike has redesigned vintage punk, hardcore, and indie rock show flyers into international typographic style posters. Each poster is sized to the standard swiss kiosk dimensions of 35.5 inches wide by 50 inches high and set in Berthold Akzidenz Grotesk Medium, all lowercase. Every single one of these shows actually happened.
