Some cool Coming images:

Coming Back to Life

Coming


Image by Ehsan Khakbaz

Where were you when I was burned and broken
While the days slipped by from my window watching
And where were you when I was hurt and I was helpless
Because the things you say and the things you do surround me
While you were hanging yourself on someone else's words
Dying to believe in what you heard
I was staring straight into the shining sun

Lost in thought and lost in time
While the seeds of life and the seeds of change were planted
Outside the rain fell dark and slow
While I pondered on this dangerous but irresistible pastime

I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the moment had arrived
For killing the past and coming back to life

I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the waiting had begun
And I headed straight..into the shining sun

Wallpaper 1920x1200 promoting the Type Designers »FONT AID IV« initiative dedicated to the suffering people of Haiti.

With the words of »S{o}TA«:

The Society of Typographic Aficionados (SOTA) is proud to announce the release of »Coming Together«, a font created exclusively for Font Aid IV to benefit the victims of the recent earthquake in Haiti. The font consists entirely of ampersands, to represent the idea of people coming together to help one another. Type designers, graphic designers, and other artists from around the world contributed artwork to the font.

More than 400 noted type designers and graphic designers found more than 400 creative and eyeâ€"catching waysâ€"Ampersandsâ€"to thank you for your contribution to alleviate the suffering of the people of Haiti.

You may receive gratitude here, here, here or here.

Typefaces in useâ€"except »Coming Together«â€"for my wallpaper, chosen and combined because of the symbolism of their names, as contrast to the positive symbolism of the ampersand (except japanese culinary preferences):
Anubis by Dino dos Santos (DS Type)
Fugu by Neil Summerour (Positype)

Personal wish:
If you are in the mood, design a wallpaper using the »Coming Together« ampersands and spread it in the WWW to win as many people as possible to contribute to and to promote the »FONT AID IV Haiti« initiative.
