Gwap is a new online gaming website that doubles as a way for computers to learn.
Let’s take the ESP Game for example. You and a partner see the same image and are asked to type in a tag for it. When you agree on a tag, you move on and are awarded points. After just a minute of play, you’ve agreed on six or seven tags.
This post showcases over 70 examples of sexy, bold and experimental typography. Some examples are typographic posters, some are typographic illustrations and some are just sketches with type. In any case, you will hopefully find some inspiration for your future works.

UPDATE (Feb. 2, 2009): Droga5′s Publicis-backed web shopping venture Honeyshed is set to power down at the end of the week, capping a year-plus venture that started with the optimism of content-led brand stardom but never fully got off the ground. Economic conditions were cited as the reason for the closure.
“Honeyshed was a great experience and an idea we all firmly believed in,” says Droga5 and Honeyshed founder David Droga. “Sadly our ambitions weren’t quite in sync with the economy.”
The site, launched in beta in November 2007, was created as a partnership between Droga5 and production company Smuggler, with funding from Publicis. Touted as “Online Shopping for the Digital Generation,” the site envisioned a sort of brand-centric content warehouse where the product shone.

Honeyshed which is backed by Publicis, Droga5 and Digitas is a pretty strange/original way of selling stuff online. It loads a bit slow, but you definately have to see it to believe it!
