Working quickly sometimes leads to hitting an incorrect keyboard shortcut and ending up wiht unexpected results.
This usually leads to a quick cmnd-Z and I move forward without much thought.
This time, the accidental Z keystoke led to me zooming up close and personal to part of the word, species, set in Helvetica. The letters sat, quietly activating each other in a stark, yet dignified play of positive and negative space. Not-yet kerned, certain letters seemed to draw close together, while others sat slightly away, as if the two letters were strangers on a bus stop bench.
As a designer, I'm constantly looking for inspiration, for images that inspire and engage me, and for ideas to help make my designs better and more effective. Its nice to know that such inspiring images are just an accidental keystroke away...
