:: Design & Conquer

Yet again I prove my Uni lecturers wrong again... twats.

My final project was a interactive flash piece which demonstrated (in 3D) a watch-phone-mp3-camera. They completely ignored the effort and time spent on the work simply because they said, "you'll never get a phone on a watch." 

Since then, LG produced one, and now I find this:

Hello @font-face

The @font-face rule allows authors to specify online fonts to display text on their pages. In other words, you’ll be able to use fonts outside the usual Arial, Verdana, Georgia and the like, even if the end user doesn’t have them resident. HOWEVER the rules are unique to CSS3, so only a few of the newest browsers support them... but great news for the future of web design none the less.
