Look what the Easter Bunny brought us… business cards! We love getting deliveries from the printer. Seeing something we designed become real is a kick. Plus, it makes it easy to think of something to blog about.
Rebecca is a speech pathologist so we thought is would be fun to use quotation marks on her business cards. We saved a few trees by printing the business cards on 100% recycled paper and the cards are uncoated so Rebecca can fill in the next appointment details on the back. Let’s get talking!
Four-day weekends are great for relaxing. They’re also handy for catching up on stuff that you didn’t get around to during the week, like blogging. Yes, this is another post coming to you from the future.
How is it that winter still manages to take me be surprise? Mornings are definitely dark now. The end of daylight savings will provide a few more opportunities to wake up with the sun shining, but then that’s it, winter will be upon us again. Melbourne sure knows how to make us shiver.
It could be worse. You only get about three hours of daylight a day in Sweden during winter. How on earth could you convince yourself to get out of bed each morning if you had that to look forward to?
Graphic design emergencies happen more often than you might think and they have a terrible habit of occurring on Friday afternoons. We should be drinking fancy coffee at the David Jones Sensory Lab right now, but graphic design emergencies trump everything, even caffeine. Product recalls and website hacks are never part of the grand plan, but when they pop up we have to swing into action. That’s just what graphic design superheroes do.
Just finished a nice little website for Heart Health Solutions. We developed a clean, fresh looking site for what can sometimes be a confronting topic. Check it out here. I’ll post some screen shots soon.
Sometimes it’s really hard to remember to post something, especially when you’re busy.
I think I’m going slightly crazy at the moment. I was making dinner tonight and meant to pick up a cucumber to cut it and accidentally picked up a zucchini. But instead of putting the cucumber back, my brain screamed “Command Z”.
It’s official, I have lost it.
I found this great procedural drawing tool, which is heaps of fun. It was developed by Ricardo Cabello aka Mr. Doob, who does some amazing online work. Give it a go, send me your illustrations, but be careful, it’s addictive!
I was walking around the city on the weekend and found a fantastic stencil by one of my favourite stencil artists, Blek Le Rat. Check it out.
I have recently had an overdose of technology and I think it’s time for a bit of a detox. I have been having dreams in html and php. I can’t find a way to untangle my tech web, where will it end? I think I’ll do some work on paper today, that always makes me feel better, or maybe even canvas. Although these too are just another form of tech, maybe I need to go caveman and bang some rocks together. Rocking. Fridays are funny 
All I want in life is a cool name. Sometimes parents don’t realize the responsibility they take on when they name their child. It’s a label that they carry around for the rest of their life. Sure I could rebrand, but I’d still feel like me but a cheap imitation. Nope, once they write it in ink on the birth certificate you’re stuck with it. Name books are no help except for a comprehensive list of what not to name your child. So now my only hope is to get a cool nick name but no one will bite. I know – I have been trying since I was 12 and none have stuck. It’s hard to come up with one yourself and have others adopt it. If you leave it up to your friends to make one you end up with something based on an embarrassing incident. So what the hell can I do? As I see it, all I can do now is join the police force and work my way up to commissioner and everyone can call me ‘sarge’ in a funny ironic way.
Sarge out
