speckyboy.com — There are many theories to what constitutes good typography, its not as simple as choosing an appropriate font and setting it in the style of a particular project, that would be too easy. Theories and tutorials are one thing, putting typography into perfect practice is another, and is perhaps the hardest part of any design.

This is simply a great collection related to typography. There are too many resources are available on net about this but no doubt this is wonderful. Thanks for the great collection.

"WHO said it would stop using the name swine flu because it was misleading and triggering the slaughter of pigs in some countries."What led to the slaughter of pigs is not the name of the flu, but an appalling ignorance of the means of virus transmission.And calling it "H1N1" doesn't remove any confusion - it creates more. Influenza A (H1N1) is actually the broad designation for a wide range of flu strains having common genetic characteristics, including about half of all cases of common seasonal flu.So calling it H1N1 is pretty much like calling it "the flu." The name doesn't distinguish this swine-origin flu from other common influenza strains. Besides, from an SEO perspective, who's going to type "Influenza A/H1N1" into a search box? Calling it H1N1 makes information about the swine flu more difficult to find.My question is, why didn't the CDC or WHO change the name of bird flu to avoid offending the chicken industry? The whole thing's ridiculous. I hope everyone calling it "H1N1" grows a snout and a tail.

ugh what a bad color scheme and font choice (old english text is ok but this font is terrible)

Is it just me or do 10 of the 60 look almost exactly the same (some normal serif font with a bunch of swirley, viney curly lines coming out of it). Maybe they could just use one example of this abhorrent design trend and cut it down to 50 instead? To me this isn't as much about typography as it is about going bananas with Adobe Illustrator.
