Is it Wolverine? Or two Batmen? And is that a Twinkie in the center?

Olly Moss, has once again captivated nerds with a design the unites Marvel and DC comic fans.

enjoy.

Floral Design is like the old Black in earlier graphic design

Floral Design used to be so cool with type, but because coolness only last as long as an ice cream in the summer with the raising of the thermometer, so does cool with the raising from lowbrow to highbrow.

Can't wait too see what trend follows after minimalist type logos.

French Nouveau is soooo Faux Pas.....in Iran

Let me describe in a hypothetical situation of President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, in a room full of French Nouveau posters and someone tells him the history and importance these posters played in paving the way for a new image of women not stuck in the kitchen.

(A golfer announcer like voice narrates the scene)

He approaches up to the poster. Puts his hand near his chin. He starts to tilt his head. He keeps this position, never scene anything like it. Ahmadinejad is thought to have left by now, but his clear perseverance in manner is very hopeful, in that he might be turning over a new leaf. Wait! He is now taking his hand and tearing the posters from the wall. Oh no, he just tore down a Alphonse Mucha poster for Job cigarette papers. This is a tragic day in Art Nouveau history and a regular day for Ahmadinejad.

End Scene

The Gutenberg Bible really made the bible....ehh

I wen't to the New York Public Library yesterday to see the Three Faiths exhibit with the iconic star, one of the earliest editions of the Gutenberg Bible. It was large in stature, but on the inside it was a pretty dull. Compared to the many of illuminated Torahs, Qurans, and Bibles that surrounded it.

Everything else livened up the room, while the Gutenberg Bible really just kept it plane and simple. It reeked of the idea of quantity over quality bull-crap (which really isn't that bad since how much help it has done with the spread of literacy, with the exception of Morgantown, West Virginia). But like President George Bush Jr. once said, "One of the great things about books is sometime there are some fantastic pictures." Which I whole heartedly agree, for the case of this exhibit. I enjoyed the illuminated hand madd scripts with how unique they were.

My personal preference was The Gospel Book of Landevennec, if it was mass produced, I am pretty sure we would have some of these insanely awesome pictures in our Bible today. I am not sure what is pictured, but I believe it to be a Bird-Man, an Alien, and Werewolf (very Twilighty before it's time)

Some People Walk Slow in New York, They Shouldn't, But They Do

I come across this important subject of why some New Yorkers walk slowly and on how next time I will walk over them, with my metal cleats on.

It was such a fascination that I put all important work out of the way to come up with four theories as to why this phenomenon may occur.

Please give me your opinion and if you are a slow walker please state why you are so obnoxious to those around you.

There Is Only One Someone/Something Sit On My Lap.....and it's gone

I declare last week the "Week of Shit." From almost loosing the tip of my left index finger God knew I got lucky. So he got me where it really hurts, he decided to spill "liquid" on my laptop.

Now I feel like a sailors wife waiting for the return of her loved one from Apple Care. Once it comes back sure it will work okay, but it will never be the same. It won't have the Windows XP which took me forever to get, nope, going to be cleaned off the hard drive. It won't have the Roskilde Festival Turborg sponsor sticker, nope, taken right off or a brand new cover. It won't have that cute, sometimes annoying dent on the left side, nope, replaced with a new non dented frame.

But at least I still have the tip of my old, scratched up finger, sure it might be annoying at times and may never feel any nerve endings there, but at least it has attitude, it stuck around (with a sliver of skin), and personality with it's new look. Which sometimes I think gives anything an edge.

I will miss my old laptop...but not as much as I typed earlier, more because of annoyance dealing with waste of time. I do wonder what it takes in design (product design, graphic design, typography, and etc.) to give a personality and some sort of lasting relationship to people. Especially in the digital age, it's hard to keep a digital product as thoughtful as a family heirloom, with backed up hard drives, infinite copies that could be printed, and the ever expanding Facebook profiles of memories. It can be around practically forever.

There are really two digital files I take to heart, a thoughtful email from Dad and a picture when I was younger with some of my best friends growing up. If I ever lost those files, you can bet that the blog about it would be atrocious to read and unpleasant to look at the pictures I post, all because of my frustration of loss, in a hypothetical situation.

All and all I think I am just on a random typing sequence, I need to cut short and just ask one question to anyone who is reading this.

What is very close to you in the digital age (as in any particular sense of files, websites, and apps)? And why is it so special?

Keep Your Fingers Tucked In

I would like to show you the before and after pics of a fight I got in with my exacto blade.

The after effects just made my finger more unique.
