What an interesting marketing deployment. It’s good to see burger joints went back to the drawing board and came up with a new and actually somewhat cultural piece on advertising. Super interesting. http://www.whoppervirgins.com/
Rosmaru, an online expedition travel company hired me to rebrand their company and design their new website. I am happy to say that this week the beta testing finished and the site is now live. Check it out and let me know what you think.
Inspiration comes from many places, but DigitalAbstracts always has some cool posts. It’s where I find some of the cool things I post here.
For designers interested in Grid Systems (like me), this site is your ultimate resource (OhYEAH). http://www.thegridsystem.org/
Tom Croose is a new artist I found on one of my favorite music blogs (next to Iso50’s of course) yesyesyall.org. What you will be hearing is one fantastic mix. Enjoy.
Good design really saves lives, as evidenced by Art Lebedev’s “Air Crosswalk”. Such a great idea - such a simple concept… Now the challenge - How to implement an affordable version on every dangerous street in the city.
I am going to start digging up awesome artists in the “IE” and sharing them… We have some world class artists/designers/photographers in Riverside and the surrounding cities. I am hoping that one day a collective will start out here that will make Riverside a real destination for art and design. I’m totally smitten with the work of Jeff Soto.
So I have this wallet that my so called friends peer pressured me into buying on woot, so we all bought one. A DB Clay wallet - supposed to be cool/expensive (like a $70 wallet) and I gave up my Lodis one for it. Now I loved my lodis wallet and was completely content with its being and its “wornicity”. But I gave into my peer pressure and “coolnicity” of thinking the 3 of us would come to work everyday and throw our wallets on the table and say a cool wallet-club greeting. Nope. I quickly found out that none of them were going to be using these wallets anytime soon. Actually I found that they werent going to use them at all.
When I found this out I was bummed but “eh” I had my lodis to go back to… “Wait, where’s my lodis wallet?” Just then Coldplay’s “Lost” song began to play on the radio and J.J. Abrahms “Lost” begain to play on the television. It was gone. Dissapeared into thin air. I am now stuck with a wallet that I hate that gives my butt an extra lump (like I need an extra lump).
Moral of the story - a: don’t give into peer pressure and b: 1 in the butt is worth 3 in the hands of my so called friends [twss].
P.S. I linked the lost wallet 3 times just in case some rich soul feels bad and wants to buy me it… Again. (or at least $30 of it)
