Brown Is Blue (but he ain't sad)

Great use of type. I mean, I've seen this method of portraiture used plenty of times. But this use just seems so funky. Whoever did this should be proud.

Great Effect for Type (If Done Right)

Look at this! Absolutely wonderful. Simple, effective, memorable. Gives me hope for modern typographers.

Typography Week - Watch Your Words!

As revealed in previous posts, typography is a love hate thing for me. Mostly hate. But that's what makes me love great uses of typography. I always think that simplicity is key for most design elements, but I strongly believe that a minimalist approach to type design separates the best from the rest.

I'll be posting great typography examples all week and highlighting typography geniuses. If you have any thoughts or pics you'd like to share, please do.

Funny Stuff

I found these ads while surfing around. I've seen the ass one before, but the old SEGA ad is absolutely hilarious.

I'm actually really impressed with the typography too. And it's hard to impress me typographically.

Um... Nutrigrain?

Do you like this commercial? Do I like this commercial?

I guess I do... Kinda gets old around the end. Maybe they should have shortened it a little bit. And the woman annoys me while she's walking through the office.

It's weird though, I like weird. But is this an expected weird? Still on the fence.

Simple Design = Simply Good

I found these book covers while scanning design forums. They hit me just right. I love that illustrated and well-composed look.

Attention Advertisers: Ad Age Wants You

I read that AdAge wants someone to design their latest magazine cover. It's called their "Global Cover Contest", and the winner gets sent to the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. Sounds fun as hell to me. I usually don't participate in too many contests, but the reward looks good enough for me to actually give it a shot. So maybe I should have titled this blog "Don't Submit To AdAge Contest".
