![]() Fonts for Heidelberger, Bosch, Deutsche Bahn, zdf, Cisco, Mozilla, Autodesk and the European trunk roads.” But that’s not all: “In 1989 he founded FontShop, the world’s first distributor of electronic fonts. magazine layouts for The Economist, among others. Projects included signage systems for bvg Berlin and Düsseldorf Airport as well as corporate design programmes for Audi, VW, wdr et al. ![]() To make sure that some of the facts of his work are not forgotten on his jubilee day, we read (for lack of a better summary) in his own short bio: In 1979 he founded MetaDesign, “which he expanded to become the largest German design office until he left in 2001. So let’s eat crap, because it’s on the corner.” Because it’s there, it’s on every street corner. It’s like going to McDonalds instead of thinking about food. ![]() Of course, the eloquent typomaniac Erik, who, like Joseph Beuys once did, feeds himself by permanently wasting his energy, trusts no convention and no achievement or typeface just because it is there: “Most people who use Helvetica use it because it’s ubiquitous. Whereby, where it comes to designing by means of writing, he always sees himself as a loyal and unbending advocate of the reader and user and – when necessary – finds clear words: “If you can’t read it, it’s crap.” (Anyone who has ever been annoyed with an unusable underground map or found their own text printed light grey on light yellow in 3pt font size knows how right he is). He likes to print some of them in the format of a poster on which you can read, for example, “Everything is ready it just needs to be done.” Whereas with Erik, you learn best how it is done when it is done (by him). Spiekermann acts with the pathos of a lusty enlightener and for this reason alone is never at a loss for an apt saying.

This can be tricky if you have many relations, but it's still a viable option.It would be too good to know what Erik Spiekermann, who was born in Stadthagen on and who turned 75 this Monday, if only for arithmetical reasons, would think of the number 75 in a personal way and in which letters and point size etc. That's it! The only thing we need to worry about by using this approach is syncing all the relations manually. We redirect to the edit page of the new model.This is possible due to the replicate() method copying all the relations as well as the new model You might notice that we are using the new Model's ingredients to sync. We sync the ingredients - This is important because we also want to copy all the relations.We save the $newMeal model to the database - That way, we have an ID, and we can use it to assign relations.We replicate the $meal model and save it to the $newMeal variable - That's our new hydrated model.We load all the relations on the $meal model - this is important because we want to copy all the relations as well.As you can see, we have a few things in here:
