Those who know me know I surf the web quite a bit. One of my favorite resources is Pixel Surgeon as they do a great job aggregating content. Today I found a link to a font created with fire that I had to share with everyone. What are some other ideas that come to mind when you see this? My first thought is to get letter shapes that can hold water and make a font of ice. Or even finishing the font set with lowercase, numbers and punctuation.

DD04 is crossing the finish line. A bit beat-up, a bit stunned, but definitely proud of the work they have produced over the last year. As they should be!!! The staff have been reviewing countless projects over the last couple of weeks in a struggle to narrow them down and select only a handfull to sit as nominees for the DD04 awards show. The choices weren’t always easy, especially knowing how much sweat, tears, and single-clicking when into each of the projects that made it through the short-listing process.
The nominees and winners in the categories of Best Course, Best Designer in a Supporting Role, and Excellence in Instruction were selected by the students of DD04.
