Apple shows how NOT to do a type reflection

72493496 c111299ba9 m Apple shows how NOT to do a type reflectionI admit, this is nitpicking. Apple has always been excellent for its graphics and imagery. So this is why it strikes me as a bit odd that the “Just For You” graphic in the iTunes Music Store is so poorly done. It starts out alright at the “J” but if you look under the “u” you’ll see the reflection has already run out. Oops!

If you would like to know how to do a type reflection, check out Step 3 of our otherwise antiquated Faux Jaguar Fur Type tutorial.

What is wrong with this MSN Virtual Earth picture?

28517797 b416052baa m What is wrong with this MSN Virtual Earth picture?Sharp eyed JochenW pointed out this oddity on Microsoft’s Virtual Earth–the Apple Campus at Cupertino is gone!!

It is clear that the satellite images used by Virtual Earth may be so old that they predate the Apple campus. The roads appear to be current but old imagery kinda defeats the purpose of having them, don’t you think?

Dmitry Nikiforov adds:

To add to your article about lost Apple campus in Cupertino – according to News.com, Apple moved to Cupertino in January of 1977. Assuming that they moved into that exact location, and that to build a campus takes about 1 year, we can sort of ‘guesstimate’ the age of the image: about 30 years old icon smile What is wrong with this MSN Virtual Earth picture?

Google Maps is a bit more up to date:
