TypeEngine and the Magazine

TypeEngine by Ben Brooks (Ben Brooks)

There isn’t a clear cut line here either. Dark text on a light background certainly isn’t a unique design, nor are red links 3 , but the combination of all the elements as TypeEngine has screenshotted can hardly be looked at as anything other than Samsung, I mean copying, Copying.

There are those who open their presents before Christmas morning.
There are those who wait. They set their presents under the tree and, like a child, agonize over the enormous anticipation of what will be in the box when they open it on Christmas morning.
Apple designs for #2. No other mass-consumer products company puts as much attention to detail into the fit and finish of the box—let alone the out-of-box experience. If you’re an Apple enthusiast, you can capture the Christmas morning experience more than once a year with every stop you make at the local Apple store.
