An example of what I see as smart typography to visually represent the meanings of words. Stylized visual letter play that, despite all its simplicity, is still excellent typographic art, where the design reinforces or reflects the meaning of the word.

Ecuador se mete en campaña para balotaje presidencial en medio de violencia

AFP.- Sin que la violencia narco se detenga, Ecuador entró el domingo en campaña para el balotaje presidencial del 13 de abril entre el mandatario Daniel Noboa, el más votado en febrero, y la izquierdista opositora Luisa González. Noboa, empresario de 37 años y autoproclamado de centroizquierda, obtuvo una diferencia de apenas 16.746 sufragios sobre […]

Hah! 🙂

"In a peer reviewed paper published today in Biology Letters, the research team from the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior (MPI-AB) in Germany conducted a series of experiments while wearing a range of diving gear, finding that “fish in the wild can discriminate among humans based on external visual cues.”"

Chained (RP Awareness Month, 2025)

So, for this Friday, I'm posting something different from my usual "matches". This time I'm posting something that I do every year in February; The Retinitis Pigmentosa Awareness Month.
It took me a while to come up with something and I was thinking about more a "tech-savvy" shot, but then I realized I don't have to do all of that if I can just deliver the idea and some aspect about the struggles that a person with this disease, like me, do face. Hopefully, by next Friday, I'll be posting another one related to this topic.
I will leave defining the disease for those who don't know about it to the internet - look it up. The image here reflects the confinement that such a disease causes, despite that in my case, I'm still better than my other two siblings who are almost completely blind and can't even differentiate colors. I don't use a cane (yet), but it doesn't make any difference when it comes to being imprisoned in one place and fearing to drive anywhere by. Ironically, I was officially diagnosed in 2013, but nevertheless, I was driving before and after that time, and not until I got an official certificate for my condition (to be classified as a person of special needs) in 2021 - only then, driving had been a bit of a hassle; One, because of my surrounding environment and the blame-game if I do so, and two, because of the law, as I might get fined if I got caught driving with me being recorded as someone with an eye condition (and not supposed to drive). All in all, it does feel like being chained to the cane, even if there was no cane, and leaving a lot to be desired for the peace of mind and mental health…
