The Watchdogs That Didn’t Bark.

The digital crusaders who pushed back against America’s surveillance state are crucial to reining in Facebook. Why are they silent?

Brutalist design is the bad influence we all need.

The mainstream current of graphic work is becoming repetitively bland and a copy of everyone else's. Most designs are using the same typefaces, the same sets of colors, the same visual effects.

Copying an element from a photo and pasting it into a painting is a challenging task. Applying photo compositing techniques in this context yields subpar results that look like a collage --- and existing painterly stylization algorithms, which are global, perform poorly when applied locally. We address these issues with a dedicated algorithm that carefully determines the local statistics to be transferred. We ensure both spatial and inter-scale statistical consistency and demonstrate that both aspects are key to generating quality results. To cope with the diversity of abstraction levels and types of paintings, we introduce a technique to adjust the parameters of the transfer depending on the painting. We show that our algorithm produces significantly better results than photo compositing or global stylization techniques and that it enables creative painterly edits that would be otherwise difficult to achieve.

CSS SANS.

What CSS can do is changing the layout of web pages, typesetting, adjusting letter spacing and so on. Yet, there was one thing that CSS couldn't do. That is "To design a character itself." And that's why we have created CSS SANS.
