Agostina is a unique typeface in many ways. The obvious being that is is a Sans-Serif typeface that contains both beginning caps and ending lowercase swash letters. This instantly gives endless typographic possibilities to the user. Agostina takes advantage of the OpenType font format that opens further exploration with a full latin and limited alternate characters as well. With almost 300 characters, Agostina is a workhorse and a must own typeface.
We just updated stock for the Grid Systems shirts and added a women’s option. Enjoy!

YouWorkForThem Celebrates Six Years (Bangkok)
Our birthday was actually back in June, but we have been so busy we forgot to party, so lets do it! There will be free food, live bands from Parinam Records and projections of our latest videos. Phra Nakorn Bar is located by the Democracy Monument. Go through the roundabout, heading towards Sanamluang. After the first red light, it will be the first soi on your left. Phra Nakorn bar will be straight ahead on the right.
Here at YouWorkForThem we take some extra steps to bring you very unique stock art and fonts. We once filmed small fish and sea animals from Thailand to create these stock videos. Our recent handset font, Muck, was created using a process many people know already, screen printing.
1) We started with a hand-eye redrawing of classic serif fonts creating our own modern hybrid of an alphabet onto A4 printer paper. Drawing by hand, we get a more organic feel right from the start.
2) We then visited some friends at a local university who let us go wild with some ink and basic screen printing tools. Its always good to have friends still in school or know the professors! We used a 6 inch roller to roughly lay black ink over the custom alphabet we had drawn.
3) Shuffling back via taxi and braving out-of-control rain storms, we got the papers (now with extra weathering) back to the office to dry out for the weekend. Note – keep these wet prints outside. The fumes and stench will blow you away if you do not.
4) Once the papers had dried, we edited down the best ones. Then started scanning for 2 days at 600 DPI all the papers. Once scanned, the items were taken into Photoshop, adjustments made and converted to Bitmap TIFF files.
Final result is a very intense and textured font that you can hand set yourself. Hand-Sets are not the type of items you want to compose an entire block of text with, unless our into that kind of torture. They work best for headlines on posters, packaging or even in motion graphics.

I left America about two years ago and lost a few ‘American Luxuries’ in that process. Part of that moved involved switching to Mac and giving up my Netflix account. Yeah, I could watch Netflix online in Windows running bootcamp, but that’s no fun. I use bootcamp when I work in 3d, and then I’m outta Windows as fast as I can. But good news my mac friends, Netflix is coming to us, and ironically using Microsoft’s Silverlight to get it done! I am happy to see Netflix work so hard (no thanks to Apple) to find a solution. The feature is not yet live, but its coming real soon! (Engadget)
Also, you can find YouWorkForThem DVD releases on Netflix if you would rather rent than buy..
YouWorkForThem is proud to bring you the release of our Fall 2008 Men’s and Women’s tees and sweatshirts. We’ve worked hard to produce this unique collection of limited edition designs. These shirts are a step above the rest, check them out!
