some of his projects include this suit jacket and tie as well as a number of mid-length women’s dresses. in xiaofeng’s studio, piles of ceramic pieces sit in bins are sorted by date, colour and shape.

here is a link to an interesting typography tool that can be useful for students learning typography for the first time. http://www.wordle.net/
take an excerpt of text either from something someone has made up or from a piece of literature and it will generate as an interesting ensemble of words using colour palettes and a font of your choice
thanks Z, it looks interesting.
