Chromeography is looking a bit shinier this morning. I finally updated Chris Hamamoto’s aging site design that served us well for over two years. Thanks to a (heavily modified) Narnia theme, the thumbnail grid now fills the window with uncropped images. Navigate via the dropdown menu at the top. (If someone wanted to draw me a simple stick shifter or dashboard toggle or some other cute icon to replace the ‘+’ I wouldn’t complain.) All text is set in FF DIN Round, a typeface with a mix of craft, engineering, and industrial history that fits our topic well.
I’ve packed the Chromeography sidebar with tags. Now you can navigate by color, era, car make/model, lettering style, and motif. More to come.
Looking at Chromeography just now from the 20-inch display at work. Sometimes the stars of steel and script align and the main page looks nearly perfect. A varied mix of color, object, and letter style that only chance could compose.
Thanks again, Chris, for helping make the magic. We’re just about to unleash another collaboration. Look for it next week — wait, I’m not going to say when. I’m always overly optimistic. Soon.
