To celebrate the first UK retrospective of work by Dutch typographer and graphic designer Wim Crouwel, the Design Museum has commissioned an app for the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Called crouwelclock, it features Wim-worthy numbers and spoken messages from Crouwel himself as the alarm sounds.
Crouwelclock costs $.99 (£0.59) and is available on Apple’s App Store. You’ll need iOS 4.0 or later to run the app.
For more about the exhibition, visit the Design Museum website.
